This Trump family crypto empire is set to profit precisely because Trump is gutting the regulations that would normally constrain it — brazen self-dealing that represents perhaps the most flagrant exploitation of presidential authority in American history.

#crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol

In an unprecedented abuse of presidential power, Donald Trump is dismantling federal cryptocurrency oversight while building a sprawling family crypto empire worth billions. Through World Liberty Financial, a planned decentralized finance platform that also recently announced its own stablecoin, the Trump family is positioning to profit from facilitating cryptocurrency lending and trading. Through Truth.Fi, they seek direct exposure to bitcoin and profits from hawking investment products to Trump’s most loyal base. Through a new bitcoin mining venture, they’re gaining control over crypto infrastructure and expanding exposure to assets that Trump himself can influence from the White House. And through a series of memecoins, NFTs, and even a planned crypto game, the Trumps are converting political support directly into cash. This empire is set to profit precisely because Trump is gutting the regulations that would normally constrain it — brazen self-dealing that dwarfs even the unchecked emoluments violations of his first term. This is only one of the many widespread abuses characterizing the most flagrant exploitation of presidential authority in American history.a

a.
It feels weird to write this without noting that there are substantially more horrific abuses happening as we speak, such as the kidnapping and disappearance of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and others, without due process or even apparently genuine suspicion of wrongdoing, to a horrific mega-prison in El Salvador.

I write about the financial abuses of the Trumps because it is my beat, and it is where I hope I can make something of a difference with my expertise, but I want to direct you to the excellent coverage from experts in that field such as Immigration Impact.

Since Trump took office, federal agencies have issued a torrent of announcements stripping away long-established financial regulations and criminal oversight from crypto businesses — dismantling what little oversight existed in the already predatory and poorly regulated industry. As these guardrails fall, the Trump family has aggressively expanded their ventures, which now span nearly every corner of the cryptocurrency world. These projects don’t just generate direct profits — they create new opportunities for outside interests to gain favor through cryptocurrency "investments" that would be illegal as campaign contributions. The timing and scope of these developments clearly demonstrate that federal policy is being weaponized for personal profit.

But far from only doing favors for his crypto industry benefactors, Trump and his family are working fast to personally cash in as Trump now holds the power to shape industry policy and oversight. Here’s an overview of the Trumps’ crypto conflicts:

Trump receives 75% of protocol revenues and owns a 60% stake in the World Liberty Financial crypto business. This has already netted him almost a $400 million claim on token sale revenue, even though no platform has been launched yet.

The project has already faced accusations of insider trading, and is reportedly in talks to work with Binance as Binance is simultaneously petitioning the US Treasury department to remove the compliance monitor as a result of the company’s criminal conviction.

#crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol

World Liberty Financial
World Liberty Financial is a cryptocurrency company created by Trump and several partners in August 2024. The project was co-founded by Zach Witkoff, son of Steven Witkoff: a longtime Trump associate, the newly appointed US Special Envoy to the Middle East, and, more recently, Trump’s personal envoy to Vladimir Putin.1 The elder Witkoff also introduced the Trumps to the project’s other co-founders.

Although the project was entirely branded around Trump, his sons were prominently listed on the website with titles like “defi visionary” and “web3 ambassador”, and Trump was to receive 75% of protocol revenues from the outset, the Trump family nevertheless initially tried to maintain the illusion of an arms-length relationship to the enterprise.

Image
The homepage of World Liberty Financial’s website, showing Donald Trump reaching out an arm and a large headline reading “Shape a New Era of Finance / Be DeFiant”

When Trump was inaugurated, he dropped the pretense and took majority control of the company with a 60% stake.2

The project hasn’t launched a trading platform, but the Trumps have discussed a decentralized finance platform for crypto financial services with promises of “democratiz[ing] finance”.2 Recently, World Liberty announced its own stablecoin, USD1 (despite Trump’s past warnings about similar cryptocurrencies, which he described as currencies that “would give a federal government — our federal government — absolute control over your money” [I80]).

And not having any actual platform to speak of has of course not limited World Liberty Financial from raking in money — it raised $550 million in its initial $WLFI token sale, putting Trump’s 75% cut at almost $400 million. $75 million came from Justin Sun, a crypto entrepreneur with a shady past [I71] who, as a foreign national, couldn’t contribute to Trump’s campaign. He was, at the time, facing a lawsuit from the Securities and Exchange Commission alleging fraud. Recent reporting also suggests he was under investigation by the Justice Department, at least as of late 2024.3 With his investment, he earned an advisory position with World Liberty Financial, and shortly after Trump was inaugurated, the SEC case against him and his company was stayed pending potential resolution [I78].

Allegations of insider trading and quid pro quo deals [I76] have plagued the project, particularly amid reports of unusual token swaps with other cryptocurrency companies. For example, a World Liberty deal to acquire around $2 million of a Movement Labs token coincided with rumors of Movement’s talks with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency about integrating blockchain technology into government operations. (Both World Liberty and Movement Labs denied these allegations.)4 But an April 8 memo from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, citing Trump’s executive order on crypto, dismantled the Department of Justice’s cryptocurrency investigations team and directed the Market Integrity and Major Frauds Unit to “cease cryptocurrency enforcement”. This may well have eliminated any remaining chance of a federal investigation into allegations of malfeasance in a business venture controlled by the president and his family [I81].

As for the stablecoin, the timing is significant: World Liberty Financial announced plans to issue USD1 on March 25, and just ten days later the Securities and Exchange Commission published a statement declaring that "covered" stablecoins fall outside its authority, and that companies issuing stablecoins need not register.5 Meanwhile, a Trump-aligned Congress is working to pass new, friendly stablecoin legislation [I79] with substantial direction from the cryptocurrency industry, which spent over $130 million installing crypto-friendly legislators

Trump is reportedly exploring launching a crypto game, which is a sector that has faced regulatory scrutiny. SEC lawsuits naming crypto gaming tokens as securities have been dropped, and Rs in Congress just voted to overturn a CFPB consumer protection rule for game assets.

#crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol

A crypto game
Fortune recently reported that Trump plans to release a blockchain-based real estate-themed game similar to Monopoly.8 Unlike many traditional games where players use in-game currencies that can’t be transferred outside of the game, crypto games often aim to use cryptocurrencies for game economies, attracting players with promises of earning real money simply by playing a video game. Blockchain games, sometimes dubbed “play-to-earn” games, have a troubled history, struggling to balance in-game economies where wealthier players can simply pay to win, poorer players can’t afford to play at all, and more and more new players must constantly join to sustain token prices.b Games like Axie Infinity, which surged in popularity in late 2021, spawned a form of digital sharecropping where wealthier individuals leased in-game assets to those in the Philippines and other lower-wage areas, who were promised they could earn more playing these video games than from other local jobs.9 Other moral issues arose from children playing games with gambling-like mechanics, where they were encouraged to spend (and often later lose) real money on new characters or items. Then, of course, there was the record-breaking $625 million Axie Infinity exploit by North Korean hackers in March 2022 [W3IGG], which caused players’ tokens to plummet in value and never recover.

Before the second Trump administration, play-to-earn games faced new regulatory scrutiny. In its lawsuits against Coinbase

Since his inauguration, Trump has been hard at work bulldozing regulatory or legal barriers for crypto companies that could require registration with financial regulators, more burdensome oversight, customer support programs and recourse for players whose in-game and/or crypto assets are stolen, and limits on gambling mechanisms in games — all things that would cut into crypto gaming companies’ profits. The Securities and Exchange Commission has practically broken the sound barrier in its race to drop investigations and enforcement actions (including the lawsuits involving Binance and Coinbase naming the gaming tokens as securities). They’ve also declared most cryptocurrency assets exempt from its authority, and invited crypto executives and lobbyists to write their own rules. The Trump administration has been working to shut down the CFPB entirely, with vocal support from crypto industry executives [Debanking]. Meanwhile, Congress is chipping away CFPB regulations where both the House and Senate recently voted to overturn the CFPB’s rule on crypto games, which also would have applied broader protections for crypto holders outside of the gaming sector. These votes fell along party lines, with all Democrats and Independents opposing the removal of the rule and all Republicans except for one token Senator supporting its nullification.1213 All that remains is for Trump to sign the bill eliminating the rule, in a move that will personally profit him.

Two of Trump’s sons are involved in a new bitcoin mining venture called American Bitcoin in which an existing bitcoin mining firm, Hut8, essentially donated 20% of their company to the Trumps in exchange for getting in on their profitable self-dealing.

#crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol

Bitcoin mining
In late March, Trump’s sons Eric and Donald Jr. announced their investment in a bitcoin mining company called American Bitcoin [I81], where Eric Trump also took the Chief Strategy Officer role. The company was created through a deal with existing American bitcoin mining firm Hut8, which contributed “substantially all” of its bitcoin mining machines. This deal raised eyebrows among observers including VanEck analyst Matthew Sigel, who commented, “I don’t fully understand the rationale of selling 61,000 miners in exchange for an 80% stake in a subsidiary that they previously owned 100% of.”14 It seems to me that Hut8 determined a 20% donation to the Trump family was worth the benefits of getting looped into the Trump crypto empire.

Eric Trump announced plans for the company to go public and hinted at a future partnership with World Liberty Financial. They also intend to stockpile some of the bitcoin they mine, again adding potential upside if Trump successfully boosts bitcoin prices.15

The Trumps have cashed out around $390 million from their memecoins. A month after their launch, the SEC stated that memecoins do not fall under SEC authority.

#crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol

Memecoins
Days before Trump’s inauguration, he dropped the $TRUMP memecoin, horrifying even some of his most devoted crypto industry supporters who described the cash-grab as “absolutely preposterous … plumbing new depths of idiocy” [I75]. Shortly after, the Trump family launched a $MELANIA memecoin, seemingly seeking a second windfall. While memecoin valuations are challenging to calculate accurately, the Financial Times estimated in early March that he and his team had profited at least $350 million from the stunt.16 On April 15, the Trump-controlled wallet appeared to cash out an additional $4.6 million.17

The $MELANIA token team also appeared to cash out around $4.5 million in late March and early April.17 On April 7, Bubblemaps reported insiders had moved more tokens, notionally worth around $30 million, from project’s designated “community” wallets and began selling them.18 This followed reports that the $MELANIA token team is the same group involved in malfeasance around $LIBRA, a token affiliated with Argentina’s president Milei, and a widespread insider trading scandal involving Solana-based memecoins [I77].

The initial token allocation for the $TRUMP memecoin granted the president and his affiliates 80% control, but prescribed a schedule for gradual unlocking over three years. The first unlock is nearly here, allowing Trump to unload another 40 million tokens (notionally priced at around $310 million as of writing). Most early purchasers of the $TRUMP token have lost money, with the token plummeting below $5 from its early heights of around $75.19

The Trump family’s memecoin capers are also unlikely to attract any substantial regulatory scrutiny with the regulators firmly under Trump’s thumb. On February 27, the SEC stated that memecoins too fell outside their authority.20 Criminal activity involving memecoins might normally fall to the Justice Department, had they not been directed to spend their fraud department’s resources on “immigration and procurement frauds” instead of crypto.

There’s of course also the NFTs, the bitcoin branded sneakers, and the Trumps’ personal crypto holdings, which are not well known.

And there’s also the substantial risk of insider trading in crypto, mirroring similar concerns we’ve seen raised recently about insider trading in traditional assets surrounding Trump’s tariff announcements.

#crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol

Crypto holdings
While the specifics of the Trump family’s crypto holdings remain largely unknown, financial disclosures and blockchain records shed some light. In August 2024, Trump reported holding $1 million to $5 million in ETH,21 which matched with a publicly disclosed Ethereum wallet then holding around $2.28 million worth of the token. Trump later sold sizable portions of those tokens beginning in December 2024.22

The personal crypto holdings of Trump family members who stand to benefit from market movements under Trump have not been publicly disclosed. Some seem keen to experiment with moving markets themselves, with Eric Trump tweeting “In my opinion, it’s a great time to add $ETH. You can thank me later” in February, right around the time World Liberty Financial was moving a substantial amount of ETH to Coinbase [I76].

That’s not to mention the substantial risk of insider trading by those close to Trump, who may have insight into his unpredictable behaviors that have flung the broader economy into turmoil. Concerns about insider trading have arisen as insiders may have bought the dip in traditional equities markets caused by Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff announcements, earning them profits as subsequent announcements of tariff pauses kicked off a brief rebound. The same behavior could just as likely be happening in the crypto world, too, as bitcoin and other crypto prices follow broader market movements and could be exploited for personal profit with advance knowledge of Trump’s plans.

While there have been some attempts by Democratic Senators to sound the alarm with various agencies, these agencies are largely under Trump’s control. If there’s been any action on their letters, it hasn’t publicly materialized.

This is a dangerous convergence of the president’s financial interests and his power to shape policy, and it poses serious risks to all of us.

#crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol

The scope of the Trump family’s cryptocurrency conflicts illustrates a degree of corruption that makes the emoluments concerns of Trump’s first term seem quaint by comparison. Through his crypto ventures, Trump has created multiple avenues for personal enrichment: direct profits from cryptocurrency holdings and businesses, regulatory changes that boost his investments, potential insider trading, and opportunities for outside interests to buy favor through crypto “investments” that would be prohibited as campaign contributions. His dismantling of cryptocurrency oversight leaves consumers vulnerable to fraud and manipulation, while ensuring that neither he nor his benefactors will face meaningful scrutiny.

Despite the scale of these conflicts and the clear abuse of power, attempts to check this corruption have been limited and largely ineffective thus far. Democratic Senators have sent letters about both crypto-based and traditional asset-based financial corruption to the SEC Inspector General,23 the SEC,2425 the Deputy Attorney General,26 and state Attorneys General27, pushing for investigations into Trump’s and his administration officials’ conflicts of interest. If there’s been any action on these letters, it hasn’t publicly materialized.

Instead, the gutting of regulatory oversight has continued, creating a dangerous convergence of the president’s financial interests and his power to shape policy. The ensuing regulatory vacuum will allow cryptocurrency markets to become increasingly susceptible to manipulation and abuse, while providing cover for fraud, money laundering, bribery, and other crimes. The industry under Trump is on course to become even more of a predatory playground where insiders profit from exploitative schemes — high-risk lending programs promising to “democratize wealth”, unchecked bad actors peddling investment scams disguised as business opportunities, and memecoins functioning as thinly-veiled pump-and-dump operations — while ordinary investors are left without protection or recourse. And the degree to which the government has been embracing crypto also poses a risk to those who haven’t gotten involved in crypto trading at all, as regulations limiting things like banks becoming heavily exposed to crypto, or pension and retirement funds incorporating crypto into portfolios, threaten contagion that everyday people could be forced to bear.

I have disclosures for my work and writing pertaining to cryptocurrencies.

They largely buy used devices, flash their highly insecure software with tons of missing privacy/security patches and scam people into buying them who are misled into believing their safe devices protecting their privacy better than a mainstream device. In reality, it's the opposite. They're highly insecure devices and people would have a far higher level of privacy using an iOS device and Apple services with Advanced Data Protection.

Shipping privacy and security patches is the bare minimum. See the "Security update speed (AOSP subset of ASB)" and "Full patches on fully supported devices" rows in eylenburg.github.io/android_co…. The table unfortunately doesn't show the many other ways privacy/security are reduced.

From looking at the link you provided he's not making false claims. Because the proof of his words about attacks on him are right under that post. And it's quite unfortunate. It's bad to see FOSS communities fight each other rather than uniting efforts in the fight against corporates. It's not a weakness to admit that part of your community is toxic. Because it's true. GrapheneOS is a great project, a gem in the FOSS world, and it will be healthy and will help the project long-term to work on the problem of toxicity of some members rather than trying to point finger at others.

I've just watched that video. He says he still likes GrapheneOS and thinks it's a cool project, but feels uncomfortable running the code of this developer on his phone after an argument with him in a Matrix chat (which he shows in the video) where he is accused of supporting swatting. He claims this was after he merely made a YouTube comment where he criticized the type of communication and refused to delete it.

Can you point out which part of the video is fabricated? I'm curious.

@jomo The video consists almost entirely of spin and fabrications. Even the title of the video claiming he was deleting GrapheneOS because of it was a complete lie. He continued using it for many months as his daily driver and was caught doing so by his own community, who then went back and confirmed he was clearly using it as his daily driver. In the video, he knowingly lies about the context, what has been said / done in the past and what was said in that conversation where he was trolling.

@jomo His interactions in the conversations were trolling, while he was live streaming it to his audience.

He did far more than leaving a comment in support of a video consisting entirely of harassment content towards one of our developers based on fabrications. He regularly made public jabs towards them and supported it. He was also already a regular Kiwi Farms user at that point.

@TuxOnBike Murena is harming people with an extraordinarily insecure and non-private mobile OS. They're harming people and scamming them for profit, not helping them. They aren't improving device longevity by convincing people to use devices without the basic privacy/security model and features intact or extremely important privacy/security patches. They do not provide current patches on any device regardless of whether it's still supported by the vendor. It's the direct opposite of our work.

@jomo @TuxOnBike /e/OS does not provide current privacy and security patches. They provide partial privacy and security with an extreme delay. Android provides partial privacy and security backports to older releases. /e/OS incorporates the AOSP portion of these updates and ships them with a substantial delay. They do not provide most driver, firmware or other device related patches even when the device has them available. They lag far behind on OS updates and providing full patches to the OS.

@jomo @TuxOnBike You can see a comparison between the best case for each OS on a device where they're least behind at eylenburg.github.io/android_co…. This is for /e/OS:

> Security update speed (AOSP subset of ASB)
>
> 1-2 months, sometimes longer

> Full patches on fully supported devices
>
> Many months to over a year

It's far worse on most devices. That's if you have a device where they're least behind.

For example, even on a Pixel, you'll have many months of delays for High/Critical patches.

@thestrangelet They're also missing tons of important Android privacy patches even aside from the missing security patches. There are blatant privacy holes remaining wide open. They're also reducing the standard privacy and security model, introducing new problems. Providing low quality domain-based filtering for ads/trackers doesn't at all make up for this and people would be better off using apps like RethinkDNS doing it better. It's a very weak and unworkable privacy approach regardless.

I've completed the Classic French Chess Set, my first 3D printing project. The design is based on the French chess sets used and sold by the Café de la Régence in Paris in the 18th and 19th centuries. The set was modelled in Plasicity, the knight was modelled in Blender.
