Trump’s DOJ will no longer prosecute cryptocurrency fraud

So, business as usual then?
-
Wow, I'm so shocked that an administration of thieves and grifters are helping other thieves and grifters.
-
I’m more surprised they didn’t try to corner the thieving and grifting market for their own.
-
Yet.
-
They do
But as it needs to go into their private pocket, they manipulate the market and already spare regulations, so they have a free go and cash in
Wouldn't help them, when the nation gets the many due to sane profit taxing and fraud investigations
-
So you're assuming that no one in Trump's circle made any trades in advance of yesterday's tariff pause cancellation? Do you know the exponential return you could get on a short-term option when the underlying investment moves 20% in a day?

To a certain extent, honor among thieves typically only exists within their own group.
The administration is setting things up so their grifters won't get charged.
If someone grifted them, the FBI would absolutely investigate them.
-
Welcome to capitalism. Always has been.
-
-
Well, we can't have them investigating themselves now, can we?
-
This action is BECAUSE they investigated themselves. Just plugging all the leaks now.
Tomorrow is a better day...for them.
-
There are a lot of us working to make sure they don't get better and better days. And the pressure is growing from all sides. They can't operate with impunity forever, and they have awoken a sleeping giant with all these service cuts that their base actually depends on (even though they were too stupid to know it).

If I recall correctly the Trump family has just gotten involved with a crypto exchange so.... Yeah. Incoming Trump crime family fraud
-
Sam Bankman Fried pardon incoming.
-
No, he supported democrats too hard and he robbed rich people.
-
he supported democrats
Yeah but not after the pardon he won't.

"We audited ourselves and found the law should be changed."
-
Trump is opening a crypto currency for taking bribes.
-
You mean after scamming people with their own coin the Trump clan decides it won't be prosecuted? Who would have seen this coming?
-
You gotta remember capital controls the state, not vice versa.
If capitalists can gain more power by converting to crypto and abandoning state currencies, they'll do it.
This is a big part of why crypto keeps going.
-
At this point it’s just a free for all over there. Insane.
-
at some point rule of law will break down completely
-
We've got a ways to go yet but it's certainly been set in motion.
The 5 million people protesting last week (including me) gives me hope. And I have had one friend tell me he wants to join me next time, and he's the last person I would ever think would protest.
There's momentum growing on the good side, too. Don't give up hope yet.
-
there is no going back to the old because it was the old system that allowed this to happen. I hope you manage to take back your country and rebuild it, but first the rot has to be razed completely or same thing will happen again later even worse.
-
What's a hypothetical situation you can describe that may occur? That stops or limits this
-
-
-
So the legislative, executive, and the judicial is in cahoots. The Constitution is dead, and there's no longer any moral or legal basis for the states to remain in the union
-
Dishonour among thieves
-
Should the DOJ get involved in your unregulated financial market? Is anyone buying crypto thinking they are getting a real financial product?
-
What is a "real financial product"? smh.
-
A real financial product would be something like a mutual fund. These things are regulated and are typically fairly transparent in terms of how they work.

-
Isn't elon one of the bit coin bros?
-
Bitcoin is basically the only one that isn't totally fraudulent, though they've seemingly found ways to manipulate it.
Don't associate it with fElon.
