    It wasn’t a business, it was a pipeline for bribes. It’s been a success.

      It’s not theft if it was given.

    1. Create tokenized item with no actual value (Z = 0)
    2. get people to spend real money on random token.
    3. collect the money at a high arbitrary value (X)
    4. Collect the money at a lower, yet still arbitrary value (Y)
    5. Enjoy X+Y-Z profits

    Trump never put his money in any of it. He created a random token out of thin air and people willing threw money at it.

    The Trump crypto value has nothing to do with any economic outlook. It’s the bribe gratuity funnel for the Trump family.

    It probably crashed as they dumped it. How is this bad for them?

    Going anywhere near any of Trump’s businesses is a guarantee for losses and regret. In Trump’s world there are only very few winners, basically only the ones paying for pardons. And it’ll be interesting to see if even this is worth it in the long run.

    This fake ass economy will only stay afloat for as long as the plutocrats can stomach setting their cash on fire. One by one each pillar will fall and then it will be time to get the guillotine.

      That’s not who lost money here. Those assholes were out LONG before the rug got pulled on the dummies that bought this garbage.

    does it matter. weren’t those setup so they got a slice of every transaction? If I that is the case and I understand it right then any activity is essentially money to them.
