Controversy Swirls Around Donald Trump-Linked Crypto Ventures
News of Trump’s reported crypto earnings come just weeks after hosted the top 220 investors of his $TRUMP memecoin at his namesake golf club just outside of Washington D.C. on May 22.
Tron founder Justin Sun was also in attendance as the top holder of $TRUMP, with a wallet listed as Sun having held $18 million worth of $TRUMP coins ahead of the dinner.
Sun, who previously invested $75 million in the Trump-affiliated crypto platform World Liberty Financial, has now given $93 million to Trump-oriented crypto ventures.
Critics argue that the gala dinner and Trump’s crypto ventures at large may prove unethical due to foreign influence and bribery concerns.
Ethical or not, one thing remains clear: Trump’s ties to the blockchain sector are extremely profitable.
