Last issue, I wrote about how the Emirati firm that handed Trump and his family nine-figure crypto profits scored a huge win with an AI chip deal. Now they’re getting 15% of TikTok, too.

Trump stands to profit even more if his business partner, Zach Witkoff, achieves his dreams of soliciting investments in Trump real estate properties using crypto. He pitches it as a win for the everyman, leaving out that it would be a much bigger win for Trump’s wallet.

The team behind Trump’s memecoin is considering launching a $TRUMP treasury company. If it happens, it would likely mark a second Trump-linked token/treasury company operation riddled with conflicts of interest, where the same people sit on both sides of the deal.

Trump has officially pulled Brian Quintenz’s CFTC Chair nomination after he refused to be the Winklevoss twins’ bulldog.

America’s largest union federation, AFL-CIO, has opposed proposed crypto market legislation as “the perfect environment for the next financial crisis to germinate”. Whether anyone’s read the letter yet is another question, because the shutdown is stalling legislative work.

The SEC also had to pause trading for one of these crypto treasury companies after potential market manipulation rocketed the stock price 2,000%. Looks like some people forgot the stock market still frowns on the kind of games common in crypto.

Tai Lopez, a self-help guru who once tried to sell $200,000+ NFTs that gave buyers the chance to join him to watch a 2-hour movie of his choice, has been accused of running a Ponzi scheme. He’s also the guy behind the ill-fated RadioShack crypto rebrand.
