Was listening to a tech bro on a podcast interview who inadvertently spilled the beans: it’s all about crypto and AI. Biden was going to regulate and that’s why they didn’t back him.

Of course this what you get when uneducated people vote for a grifter and his cohorts. Honesty, integrity, morality, empathy, compassion are no longer valued by maga morons. Too stupid to read, let alone comprehend the grift they voted for. Religious right is worse as they pretend to know religion.

The Fox watching over the Henhouse...also know as a wannabe mob boss, simply racketeering with abandon.

Crypto is a perfect match for Trump. It's a blatant scam for those that don't buy into the cult while for those that do it's the secret real truth that everyone else is too dumb to understand the glory of.

Trump’s new sinister goal empowers the Department of Justice to crush state climate laws—targeting any effort to curb the fossil-fueled emissions cooking the planet alive. His sociopathy devours every boundary https://fortune.com/2025/04/10/new-trump-executive-order-doj-states-laws-slashing-greenhouse-gases/

A Monday night memo from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, citing Trump’s crypto executive orders, has dismantled the Department of Justice’s National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team (NCET) and directed the agency’s Market Integrity and Major Frauds Unit to “cease cryptocurrency enforcement”.

As we watch Trump dismantling cryptocurrency industry regulations and enforcement, it’s worth revisiting the extent to which he and his family personally profit from their cryptocurrency business interests, which they have been rapidly expanding.

The Acting Director of the SEC is looking to rescind or modify even more previous crypto guidance based on “recommendations from DOGE”.

And the agency has dropped even more investigations and lawsuits, including against Trump business partner Crypto.com.

Remember how I said we’d get back to the now-dismantled National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team? Well, we have them to thank for an ongoing case against Avi Eisenberg, who was convicted of not only crypto crime but possession of CSAM material. His sentencing is coming up later this week.

He’s attempting a rather novel argument for leniency in his sentencing: there’s just so much crime in crypto that he forgot it wasn’t allowed.

Elsewhere in the last remaining crypto crime cases we may see for a while, it seems Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky might be trying to weasel out of responsibility for the crimes to which he’s pleaded guilty. His sentencing is scheduled for a month from now.

This is probably naive, but my first reaction is to be ok with impunity for crypto scammers. Unlike other (real) securities, people who aren't stupid don't need to buy crypto, so the main people it hurts are the fools.
