That the entire unregulated fake money market is ripe for corruption is the point of the fake money market.
4 months after Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Forbes reports that Binance now holds $4.7 billion of the $5.4 billion supply of Trump’s World Liberty Financial stablecoin. That is 87%. It is the largest corruption scandal in the history of the US presidency.

Dr Oz defends his comments saying kids should work right out of high school & older Americans should put off retirement to help pay down natl debt: "If we make our people healthier, they'll want to participate in life.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months
