As a non-lawyer, I can’t say whether the $20 million purchase of Trump crypto coins meets the legal definition of a bribe. But anyone can see that that’s what’s going on here.
You don’t need to understand how crypto works (I still don’t) in order to see clearly how it’s working corruptly for Trump:
Via HuffPost:
Freight Technologies Inc. CEO Javier Selgas said in a Wednesday news release that buying Trump coin would be “an effective way to advocate for fair, balanced and free trade between Mexico and the U.S.”
The release was attached to a filing that same day with the Securities and Exchange Commission explaining why Freight Technologies was issuing bonds. “The company will use the net proceeds from the offering to purchase TRUMP coins,” the company told the SEC.
“It’s just another day for Donald Trump that an international freight company is paying a $20 million tribute towards the Trump family fortune after openly wishing it will lead to administration tariff relief,” said Tony Carrk, executive director of Accountable.us. The watchdog group discovered Freight Technologies’ plan through a social media post bragging about it by GetTrumpMemes.com, the company that sells the Trump coins.
