Follow the money and the potential pardon: This reeks of an extremely corrupt plan to help the Trumps financially by upping the value of a crypto venture, USD1, that apparently was launched in March on the “Binance” exchange.
The Trump-controlled decentralized finance (DeFi) project World Liberty Financial(WLF) appeared to have launched a dollar-denominated stablecoin called USD1.

Binance is the world’s largest crypto exchange and has had increasingly cozy relations with the Trumps and their ever-expanding list of crypto ventures. Binance has >250 million users!
Binance founder Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao remains a convicted felon who spent four months in a federal prison. That prison stay followed CZ’s guilty plea in the $4.3 billion settlement he and his company reached with federal authorities in November 2023.
The settlement came after Binance admitted violating the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act’s provisions for years, in the process becoming a go-to hub for money laundering, sanctions evasion and terrorist financing.
Binance wants American transaction monitors off its exchange, and the Trumps want to know how much Binance might pay for that privilege.
USD1 securing a favorable spot on Binance—the leading exchange in terms of trading volume—could allow USD1 to generate billions of dollars in revenue.
Last month, CZ denied a different Journal report that said he was seeking a pardon from Trump. However, CZ’s denial took its usual non-specific form, saying only that he hadn’t made any deal (yet), while musing that “no felon would mind a pardon.”

So, essentially the plan appears to be:
- Get Trump to stop US monitoring of Binance thus loosening oversight
- Get Trump to pardon Binance’s founder, CZ
- USD1 gets favorable spot on Binance, which would add billions to its value
Thanks very much, Larry!
I wouldn't be surprised if much of this is true and also if it wasn't.
For sure President Trump has pathological thinking that includes self serving/self enriching decisions..........to go with some great ideas.
1. Peace in Ukraine
2. Get rid of illegal immigrants that are gang members in our county.
3. Restore sanity and REAL science to the energy markets
There aren't enough hours in the day for me to investigate every story and accusation and this one would require many hours and end up being a waste of productive time.
If he is doing this, its nothing new for a president/vice president and nothing new for people here to bash them. During the last administration, the Rs passed on all sorts of stuff about Biden:
just another Biden crime family coincidence?

At the same time, when Biden did something good, it was worth posting about!

Now to what just happened with the Trump crypto coin, $TRUMP, which isn’t the same as the planned manipulation of the USD1 value that I started this thread about. This is just another Trump pump and dump manipulation plan. The Trump coin was $8-9 for 2.5 weeks through just before noon. Then due to this pump, it skyrocketed from $9.30 at 11:55 AM to way up at $14.70 at 12:35 PM, a 58% increase in just 40 minutes!! This is by far the worst manipulation of this coin’s value yet.
JUST IN: $TRUMP
Call it hype, call it alpha... or call it what it is: memetic market manipulation at its finest token pumps 75% after Announcing a private dinner with President Trump for the top 220 holders!

This clearly should be investigated due to the obvious multi-billion $ aggregate manipulation, but what non-Trump controlled entity would be able to do it and also take punitive action? He knows that.
Trump companies supposedly own 800 million of these coins. Do the math. That’s a $4.3 billion increase in value within just 40 minutes for the coins Trump companies supposedly have!
