i feel like there must be some linguistic reason these Chinese organized crime crypto money laundering companies always use the word "guarantee" in their names.

Why Ukraine isn’t building its own version of US Patriot — Witkoff uses Kremlin translators in meetings with Putin: “If they speak to each other in Russian, he doesn’t know what they are saying,” — Zelensky says demilitarized zone idea dead — US approves transfer of 125 long-range missiles, 100 Patriots from Germany to Ukraine … and more

Trump just announced a private dinner for the top 220 holders of #TrumpCoin. The price of #TRUMP surged almost 50% on the news.

How surprising that they found a gimmick to pump the price of $TRUMP four days after the token unlocks started that give the Trump family 492,000 new $TRUMP tokens (~$6 million worth) to sell off every day for the next few years.

Excellent explanation of Howard Lutnick's kids' new "bitcoin acquisition SPAC" partnership with #Softbank and #Tether headed up by #JackMallers AKA "the crypto bro who cried on stage about El Salvador's bright new bitcoin future."

The venture is basically just another version of the #Microstrategy pyramid scheme, brought to you by the children of Trump's cabinet members.

p.s. the CFO of this new venture was formerly head of UBS #Russia.

A handy list of large crypto donors to Trump’s inauguration fund, which is basically an unregulated pot of money the president can do whatever he wants with. A few translations are in order:

* Circle = world’s 2nd largest stablecoin after Tether (USDC), closely linked to #Coinbase
* Foris Dax = Crypto[.]Com
* Fred Ehrsam = #Paradigm (and co-founder of Coinbase)
* #Payward = #Kraken
* #KyleSamani = #MulticoinCapital
* #HaydenAdams = #Uniswap (more on Uniswap: cryptadamus.substack.com/p/of-)
* Charles Cascarilla = #Paxos, the stablecoin issuer behind the #Binance stablecoin #BUSD that was summarily executed by regulators for #moneylaundering
* Yuga Labs = #BoredApeYachtClub (the infamous monkey JPGs)

Bros filing for ETFs to trade the exact same market #JustinSun was indicted by the #SEC for manipulating last year.

#TRX is the “gas” on Justin Sun’s #Tron blockchain, which exists primarily to allow the movement of #Tether's #USDT token on a blockchain that is less scrutinized than ethereum. Roughly half of Tether’s ~$140 billion market cap lives on Tron and that’s the blockchain preferred by drug cartels, #pigbutchering fraudsters, and #sanctions evaders, which is why a lot of people call it “the crime chain”.

Nothing else of substance has ever happened on the Tron blockchain. For more on Tether see my post linked below.

Legendarily shady crypto bro Brock Pierce, the co-founder of #Tether w/deep ties to Steve Bannon, the #Netanyahu family, and one of America's most infamous pedophile rings (DEN), is currently in #Romania meeting with that country's future president Victor Ponta to spread the gospel of crypto.

Ponta himself has apparently long been dogged by an aura of corruption and underworld connections, which would be appropriate for someone taking meetings with Brock Pierce.

More recently there's been suggestions Brock Pierce is a player in #Qatargate. If you're unfamiliar with the man's sordid backstory I covered most of it here: cryptadamus.substack.com/p/eri

Prediction: #Binance is going to get out from under the independent monitoring and billions of dollars in #moneylaundering fines (which, contrary to the way it is phrased in WSJ, I’m pretty sure have not all been paid yet - payment was to take place over the course of several years) it was hit with in exchange for helping grow the market share of the Trump + Witkoff family stablecoin #USD1 (launched by #WorldLibertyFinancial / #WLFI).
