Okay, so Trump pardons some crypto dude, Changpeng Zhao – CZ, whatever. Then, on 60 Minutes, he pulls the "I don't know him" card? Give me a break. Are we supposed to believe this? 'I don't know who he is,' says Trump after pardoning crypto tycoon
Trump claims he was told CZ was a victim of a "witch hunt" by the Biden administration. Right. Because that's how presidential pardons work. You just take someone's word for it and sign on the dotted line. No due diligence, no checking if this guy pleaded guilty to, oh, I don't know, enabling money laundering?
And Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, calling the prosecution a "war on cryptocurrency"? Seriously? It's a war on following the law, folks. But offcourse, when has the Trump administration ever cared about that?
Here's where it gets interesting. CZ's companies have partnered with firms linked to Trump, including Dominari Holdings, where Trump's sons are on the board. And the Trump family's crypto firm, World Liberty Financial, has been knee-deep in this stuff too.
So, let's get this straight: Trump pardons a crypto billionaire, claims ignorance, but there are clear connections between the guy and the Trump empire. Does anyone else smell something fishy, or is it just me?
Speaking of fishy... I just got a notification that my internet bill is due. Again. These damn ISPs are bleeding us dry. It's like they think money grows on trees... Wait, where was I? Oh yeah, crypto crooks and presidential pardons.
The article mentions Trump previously halting a fraud case against crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun after investments in the Trump family's crypto firm. And a stablecoin launched by World Liberty Financial was supposed to be used for a $2 billion investment in Binance.
It's all connected, isn't it? But no one wants to admit it. The Trump family denies any involvement in the pardon. Sure, Jan.
The pardon lifts restrictions on Zhao running financial ventures, but does it change his standing with regulators or Binance? Unclear. And that's the problem, ain't it? There are so many unanswered questions.
