The Trump family's cryptocurrency empire has reportedly generated 17 times the income it did last year, a staggering increase that highlights the vast wealth of the former president and his children. According to a new report compiled from various sources, including financial records, property records, and court documents, the Trump Organization's income soared from $51 million in the first half of last year to a whopping $864 million, with 90% of that coming from crypto ventures.
The report also reveals that some of these crypto investments were made by individuals with "histories of legal and regulatory entanglements," including a Chinese crypto enthusiast who is currently under investigation for alleged money laundering in Britain. This raises serious questions about the ethics of such investments and whether they are truly legitimate business deals or simply ways for the Trump family to profit from their influence.
The report's findings offer a clear view into the breadth of self-enrichment that has occurred since Trump took office, with his sons and brothers at the helm of this cryptocurrency empire. The scale of this operation is staggering, with some estimates suggesting it could be worth billions of dollars.
Meanwhile, other stories are emerging about the Trump family's dealings with tech companies and government agencies. For example, a drone company owned by Donald Trump Jr. has signed a multimillion-dollar contract with the Pentagon, raising concerns about ethics and potential conflicts of interest.
In another development, a group of public figures, including Prince Harry and Steve Bannon, have co-signed a letter urging caution on developing "superintelligent" artificial intelligence tools that surpass human capabilities. The move is seen as an attempt to bring together unlikely allies in the debate over AI safety and regulation.
Finally, regulators in Europe are taking action against tech giants Meta and TikTok, alleging they breached transparency rules outlined in the E.U.'s Digital Services Act. The European Commission claims that both companies' processes for requesting data are "burdensome," but they have pushed back, arguing that they need clarity on how to comply with both the DSA and GDPR regulations.
As these stories continue to unfold, one thing is clear: the Trump family's cryptocurrency empire is just one part of a larger picture of self-enrichment and influence that has defined their time in office.

. Like, does it really matter how much money they're making? The real question should be, at what cost are they sacrificing their values & integrity? It's like, we all know that power & influence can corrupt, but when you're dealing with billions of dollars, it's a whole different ball game 
. And then there's the ethics thing... if someone's "investing" in crypto just 'cause they've got connections or influence, does that really count as legitimate business? 
It's like, we gotta keep an eye on these guys & make sure they're not using their power to enrich themselves at the expense of others 
. And let's not forget, this is just one part of a bigger picture... what else are they hiding? 
The other stories about their dealings with tech companies and government agencies are also pretty eye-opening. Like, who knew Donald Trump Jr.'s drone company was signed a multimillion-dollar contract with the Pentagon? That raises some serious red flags about ethics and conflicts of interest 
And those public figures like Prince Harry and Steve Bannon co-signing a letter about AI safety is super interesting too - it's cool to see people from different backgrounds coming together on this issue 
and raking it in 
️ It raises so many red flags about ethics and conflicts of interest 
meanwhile in europe things are getting outta hand with meta and tiktok and their data collection practices i guess someone's gotta keep an eye on these tech giants 
Can we trust these guys to be making decisions that benefit the public interest? I don't think so. 
. It's a bit of an odd pairing, but hey, who knows? Maybe they're onto something.
. These tech giants have been getting a free pass for far too long, and it's time someone held them accountable.
. It's like, how can you separate business from personal influence when there's so much at stake? Like, what if this drone company is getting favors because of who Trump Jr.'s dad is? 
. And AI safety? That's a whole other can of worms 
. But what really gets me is how we're all just so caught up in this endless cycle of wealth and power 
. It feels like we're losing sight of what's truly important 
.
that's some serious inside info right there. and what's even crazier is that it raises all these questions about ethics and potential conflicts of interest.
. It's like they're playing a game of financial roulette and hoping to win big 
. And what's with the shady investments from individuals with "histories of legal entanglements"? It just smells like a money laundering scheme 
So yeah, this whole thing just smells fishy to me. But hey, at least it's making headlines and we're talking about it, right?!
