4/ we already know that trump thinks nothing of abusing presidential powers in exchange for cash because he just pardoned a bunch of his donors (e.g. Nikola Motors scammer Trevor Milton) and dropped charges against all his new crypto biz partners (e.g. Justin Sun, a16z).

enriching his supporters w/insider trading opportunities is the same kind of mafia style "repayment"

perhaps trump’s donors were so loud in his ear complaining about all the money they just lost that trump decided to shut them up w/an opportunity to profit on history's largest (not an exaggeration!) insider trading opportunity.

or consider a scenario where #TeslaTakedown has put #ElonMusk financially on the ropes and badly in need of cash. does trump strike you as someone who wouldn't help a fellow grifter out if doing so only cost him some well timed tweets & market chaos?

Trump pardoned (commuted, technically) another financial fraudster: Jason Galanis, who testified against Hunter Biden while serving a 14 year sentence for defrauding a bunch of native americans out of tens of millions of dollars.

Jason Galanis Sentenced To More Than 14 Years In Prison For Defrauding Tribal Entity And Pension Funds Of Tens Of Millions Of Dollars
Friday, August 11, 2017
For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of New York

Joon H. Kim, the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that JASON GALANIS was sentenced today by the Honorable Ronnie Abrams to 173 months for defrauding a Native American tribal entity and numerous pension fund investors of tens of millions of dollars in connection with the issuance of bonds by the tribal entity.

Acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim said: “In a brazen securities scheme designed to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else, Jason Galanis and his co-conspirators cheated both their tribal clients as well as the investing public. After defrauding a Native American tribe into issuing bonds, Jason Galanis and his cohorts sold the illiquid bonds to unwitting pension funds, and then stole the proceeds for themselves. For his role in this campaign of theft and deception, Jason Galanis will now spend over 14 years in federal prison.”

Trump can announce he will give himself a lifetime pardon for anything he has ever done or ever will do, and that he will retire to a quiet life at Mar-a-Lago, confident he has proven himself to be the greatest president of all time.

Trump’s World Liberty Financial (#WLFI) crypto grift is financially invested in #Ethena, the new project of Arthur Hayes, one of the 3 #BitMEX guys that just got pardoned.

The WLFI "investment" was made on inauguration day, at the same time World Liberty Financial invested into legendary Chinese crypto scammer Justin Sun’s token.

Justin Sun also got a pardon in the form of a having the SEC charges against him and his company dropped.

The level of #corruption is really astonishing.

I guess #Trump will sell it as lunatic leftist judges were taking it out on the poor guy. Very unfair, so sad...

Trump just pardoned three more convicted crypto bros, the founders of #BitMEX (who did their time long ago and have been back in the crypto markets for years now).

Arthur Hayes at a minimum is still very active in the crypto markets - in fact BitMEX still exists - so I would say it's pretty safe to assume there was some kind of bribe here, possibly paid in #TrumpCoin.

In fact Trump's #WorldLibertyFinancial invested ~$5 million in Arthur Hayes's #Ethena (#ENA) on inauguration day.

the #TrevorMilton (#Nikola Motor fraudster) pardon is not going over well with the #MAGA crypto bros, many of whom were scammed by... Trevor Milton (which should be unsurprising - these are gullible people who love trading meme stocks, AKA “the primary market for #NKLA shares”).

Tesla bros are also pissed, because Milton's whole scam was basically pretending to be Elon Musk for trucks.

"[Trevor Milton] did nothing wrong and he's a good person." - Donald Trump

"Trevor Milton donated $1.8 million to Trump and his lawyer is #PamBondi's brother." - me

#Trump, who specifically took aim at the #pardons granted to members of the bipartisan House cmte that investigated the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection, offered no evidence for his claim, & there is no power in the #Constitution or case #law to undo a #pardon. But Trump’s assertion, which embraced a baseless #FarRight #ConspiracyTheory about #Biden, was a new escalation of his antidemocratic rhetoric.

Let's face it. Trump's minions are violating court orders because they've been made aware Trump will pardon them.

America! The question becomes:
What are you going to do about it?
