Shane, thank you so much for all the research and written explanations. A lot of this is over my head because I don’t live in that world. But I can get the gist. I’m not surprised but it’s all just so evil and strategic.
My own son is a MAGA and doesn’t begin to understand what trouble our country is in how his life will be destroyed. He’s not a big reader and rarely goes on the internet. Watching only Fox News and listening to his favorite right wing radio, he truly has no clue. When his life falls apart, and it will, we hope there will come a time we’ll be able to talk with him about more than the weather.
I hope I can simplify some of this info to help him (and others) understand the way he and other MAGAs have been just used to basically line the pockets of these wretched horrible conscienceless people. 🤢
Reading this myself I am once again amazed by what the LOVE of money can do. It’s like greed is a demon that has possessed them. We’re talking about some of the wealthiest people in the world and yet there is never ENOUGH. And they’re willing to sacrifice the poorest people in the world to satisfy their bloodthirsty addiction. It is hard for everyday people like me to grasp their lack of conscience and moral compass. But hard as it is we need to KNOW. 🤦♀️ And fight for our country and our loved ones in any way possible. So again, thank you for your research and writing effort. 🙏
Of course! The true nature of how evil these people are is startling; it doesn't sit right, like who would sell their soul for ones and zeros, paper over people. Now, wealth from nothing.
Such evil cannot be allowed to grow silently in the dark.
This can’t be unrelated to Trump’s love of tariffs & creating chaos in the markets that ordinary people do have access to - stock exchange, bonds, etc. — can it? I think it must.
Well put. I truly hope this scam gets exposed for what it is. I also have hope your son and the other followers can find their way out of this, see the truth and get on the right side of history. As one mother to another , I’ll hold this hope close to me heart for you and your son💜
Oh boy all the money he has liberated through doge will disappear down the bitcoin memory hole. We'll all be wearing sack clothe and picking through garbage looking for food.
Well done Shane. Well written and comprehensive. Gives real meaning to 'Firebrand'. ;-)
I've been watching actions of and comments from crypto players since the concept of WLFI was rolled out. Everyone at the time spotted it as what it obviously is - a funding side channel benefiting only those most intimately involved. The movers and shakers cheered it on because it gave legitimacy to the scams they were already inflicting on 'investors' .
To be transparent, I do own crypto; a little ADA, Eth, LINK, SOL and LIDO (staked Eth). My portfolio is valued at $560CAD atm. I'm a typical hodler and only the ADA and Eth are staked. Hardly a 'player'. I've been 'robbed' of Eth through a phishing scam to the tune of about $600CAD so am very familiar with the dark side of this endeavor. There have been $9.3B USD in losses due to scams in 2024 (as per https://cryptonews.com) so for me the thought of any government adopting crypto in lieu of fiat (CAD or USD etc) is mind-blowing.
Donald Trump has spent his whole life scamming and stealing; the Crypto Market is the Neoliberal wet dream. It is unregulated and circumvents regulation. Allowing the wealthy to quietly move money anonymously.
It also serves as the best surefire way to avoid taxes. There will always be money in it, because it is the primary means by which these oligarchs hide their wealth.
It makes offshore shell companies look weak sauce compared to the global web of corruption that crypto has become.
I don’t even understand 1/2 of this but my spider sense is tingling. I dearly hope Senator Warren can route out the truth behind this and expose it for the fraud it is, shut it down and jail those players, especially Trumple Thin Skin. Thank you for this report and I will be restacking and restacking and restacking
Being a non-American, somewhat middle class hard working earner, I truly hope that the entire Trump clan and all the rich motherf***ers get their asses nailed to the fucking wall with 10 inch spikes!! Then throw their ugly shit covered asses in the deepest, darkest prison cells man can find (or create if necessary) for the rest of their greedy lives.
How could it not? As a PhD student regularly up to my eyeballs in research—the research you just presented is impressive! Like another poster stated, much is over my head, but the fact that those slobs are in politics just to take advantage of the rest of us came through loud and clear. They repulse me. Just the sight of either of the Dons or Eric make me gag.

I personally suspect he’s trying to make other markets less appealing then promote crypto as a alternative
Exactly
All of this aligns with the goals of Dark Enlightenment. These people are beyond evil.
Yes.

Thank you 🙏♥️
Pretty much this could take him down if he doesn’t take America down first!
If the right people get on it, I think it is possible!
Or If America doesn’t take him down first!
Shane, please send this to Jamie Raskin.
I did.
Thank you! He’ll get it where it needs to go!
Ponzi scheme.
Crypto is the oligarchy’s Black Market
Grifting on an unparalleled scale. To the detriment of the entire world population .
Fantastic article

Look into the ponzi papers (here on Substack) written by max arazello (the man who set himself on fire at trump’s trial last year)
It’s titled the ponzi papers - just search for it and it should pop up on here. I think it might all be connected?
And I thought the stock market was the rigged casino: https://kingcambo812.substack.com/p/fear-and-loathing-in-trader-hell-1c7
Leave it to the greediest bastards to find a way to be more greedy.
Tru dat!
Fascinating, incomprehensible amount of facts.
What an incredible service you’ve done for our country and the world! Thank you so much. Sharing widely

Poetic my friend.
I’m speechless. Effing CROOKS! 🤬
I emailed my Reps and Jamie Raskin and hope that it reaches them.

Prime minister Carney must know this by now. Is that what he’s talking about with his latest latest warnings of clear and present danger?
I don’t think so. However Trump is a clear and present danger. He’s unhinged and morally bankrupt. Spread this far and wide and shut down Hut 8
If he isn’t, I just sent it to him on his Facebook page. We’ll see if it’s really his page.
Awesome! Thank you.
The coin this, coin that crypto scams are abundant since TRUMP-CON scammed his way into office. All of them are baseless including bitcoin.
