new Trump crime family crypto SPAC is called "Renatus Tactical Acquisition Corp I" and is registered in the Cayman Islands because "America First".

(by "Trump crime family" I don't mean like, Trump's kids. the people involved here are Devin Nunes (CEO of Truth Social) and some guys from the original DWAC SPAC that gave us #DJT.

also a reminder that #TruthSocial had already announced it would be using its capital to "invest" in #cryptocurrency a few months ago.

#FDUSD, the stablecoin that drives most bitcoin and ethereum trading on the world’s largest crypto exchange (#Binance), appears to imploding in the aftermath of the revelations of various Hong Kong court filings about how First Digital (the company behind FDUSD) is insolvent.

Trump’s business advisor/partner/whatever Justin Sun, who is of course connected to this disaster, just promised the world a press conference on a “Major Industry Event”.

🍿

#TrueUSD, one of the many stablecoins connected to Chinese crypto scammer & Donald Trump business partner #JustinSun, received a half billion dollar bailout from... Justin Sun when it couldn't get its capital out of First Digital, another chinese #moneylaundering company that runs a stablecoin #FDUSD that is used for most trading on #Binance.

> "In September 2024, #TrueCoin and #TrustToken (the #stablecoin's owners before #Techteryx) settled with the #SEC over allegations they falsely marketed TrueUSD as fully dollar-backed while secretly investing reserves in risky offshore funds."

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.

sometimes when you're ESL you don't understand the subtle negative connotations of being called a "barker" and instead choose to understand it as a "navigator"

(ICYMI #JustinSun is an "advisor" to Trump's 2nd crypto scam #WorldLibertyFinancial, as well as a major player in #Tether and a million other frauds)

(also the "Forbes cover as indicator of financial crime" pipeline remains undefeated)

Trump Media (AKA "#TruthSocial") signs agreement to partner with #CryptoDotCom and launch ETFs.

(note that i'm having a bit of trouble confirming this, though I don't doubt it at all.)

I'm reminded of a tweet by #Tether CEO #PaoloArdoino a few years ago attacking #CryptoCom as being out of money and about to collapse, but either way CDC used to be and probably still is part of the Tether cartel with #JustinSun etc.

absolutely incredible new brazenly pro-Trump anti-woke ad for #Solana, the memecoin blockchain where #TrumpCoin and most of the other garbage lives.

an ad so cringe even a lot of the crypto bros are like "ok anti-woke is over now".

crypto is a right wing extremist project. always has been, always will be.

[UPDATE] After 8 hours of constant abuse from the crypto bros on Twitter, Solana deleted the ad from the internet.

Auch hier Danke. #Machiavelli ist mir leider bisher durch die "Lappen" gegangen. Mir war nicht bewusst, dass der heutige #Faschismus sich noch auf #posttraumatisch e Schriften des 16.Jh. beruft.
Die #Trauma Folge wird ignoriert.
Könnte man es als #Stockholm Syndrom gegenüber dem Tyrannen sehen, der Männer auffordert zum Tyrannen zu werden
Leider war das ein Samen der gewachsen ist, und sie trägt heute noch Früchte, und versamt sich.

Eindeutig der Schlussatz:

Musk hat mit X ein Forum erschaffen, in dem rechte Vordenker wie Martin Sellner unzensiert Journalisten drohen können, wie hier am 27. Mai 2024: „Aber wehe, den Zensoren sollten Sie einmal die Früchte des Zorns ernten, diese sie selbst gesät haben. […] Sie haben keine Ahnung, was für eine Welle an Frust und Zorn sich in den Katakomben aufgestaut hat, in die sie uns gezwungen haben.“ Wo das Streben nach Macht nicht aufhört, wo es nie genug, aber immer einen Sündenbock geben kann, wird Gewalt nicht lange auf sich warten lassen.

Trump family in discussions to take an ownership stake in #Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange and the recipient of the largest #moneylaundering fine in American history - $4.3 billion - after they admitted (just last year!) to having laundered money for all kinds of terrorist groups, #ransomware gangs, and pedophile rings.

The CEO #CZ went to prison (only for 3 months - lol) for all that money laundering and he now wants a pardon.

Oh, BTW, #TrumpCoin trades on Binance. In fact Binance is the largest market for #TRUMP on most days.

I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

No less than 76 #Democrats just voted with Republicans to overturn the #IRS's "defi broker rule" which would have required crypto firms like #MarcAndreessen's #Uniswap to collect information on their users and in so doing discourage the use of these platforms for #moneylaundering by criminals and rogue nuclear states (#NorthKorea *loves* Uniswap) and by the very wealthy to avoid paying #taxes.

The new wave of #memecoin scams like #TrumpCoin are also all facilitated/perpetrated by these decentralized trading platforms.

If any of these people are your representative you should do what you can to make sure they are primaried because they are not representing your interests. At a minimum call them and yell at them (this works better than most people think!)

The corruption of the US government by #crypto bros is extremely bipartisan.
