@angiebaby Dare I say it, there’s a good chance the oligarchs and their dictator friends were informed prior to Trump’s tariffs decision? With insider trading normalised by deregulation, profits by theft and the destruction of others labour, property, rights and resources are easily made by going short or long! #MobsMarkets #DeregulatedMarkets #CriminalPoliticians #Bribery #Embezzlement #Extortion #Violence #UltimatePowerCorruptsUltimately

ELON MUSK GROUP REMOVES VIDEO FROM $1M WINNER AFTER SHE SAYS SHE GOT MONEY TO 'VOTE'

Just how nervous is #Musk about allegations that he violated #Wisconsin 's #bribery statute by paying people to vote?

Tuesday, Musk's America PAC, pulled the video from X

"My name’s Ekaterina Deistler," she said in a video posted Monday morning. "I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars."

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.

On the day #Putin and Trump exchanged prisoners (BTC-e bro #AlexanderVinnik for teacher Marc Fogel) someone moved ~$700 million worth of bitcoin that was last moved the week after BTC-e was shut down for money laundering 8 years ago in 2017.

This is what the kids call "sus".

IMHO someone got paid off to get Vinnik out of US custody. Whether it was #Trump and/or his negotiator / crypto partner #SteveWitkoff just taking a bribe or Putin who got paid off to ask for Vinnik we may never know.

The funds are currently just parked on chain in a new wallet.

Fun fact: BTC-e is known to have been involved in laundering money for #Russia's use in #Ukraine way back in 2015/2016, in the early #Donbas battles.

ICYMI: Trump freezes US law banning #bribery of foreign officials. ‘…Trump…said while signing an executive order freezing enforcement of the 1977 law. "It's going to mean a lot more business for America." Mr. Trump can't overturn the law, but…he can change the way it is enforced... His order puts in place a 180-day "pause" to all investigations under the FCPA while they are being reviewed. He also ordered no new ones be opened during that period…’ | CBS cbsnews.com/news/trump-fcpa-an #Corruption
