   Newsletter: Even the most pro-Trump crypto faithful think Trump’s new crypto scheme is a terrible idea. Also, an FTX crypto executive earns some benefit of the doubt, and a lawsuit accuses “Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli of disrespecting the Wu-Tang Clan.

     New filings in the FTX case, made after executive Ryan Salame pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 7.5 years, raise the possibility that something weird happened with respect to promises about an investigation into his partner, Michelle Bond.

     @molly0xfff On a semi-related note, you may be way ahead of me on this, but I was looking at https://melaniatrump.com/ where Mrs. Trump is teasing preorders for an autobiography, and I discovered this interesting line in the side page for her jewelry line:

     "Those who purchase Her Love & Gratitude can also receive a limited-edition digital collectible."

     Depending on what this means, is it possible every member of the Trump family is running a separate cryptotoken hustle?

     The Trump family’s latest crypto scheme, “World Liberty Financial”, has the makings of the biggest clusterfuck in Web3 is Going Just Great history.

     @molly0xfff Maybe they want it to blow up, so they can turn around and blame the Democrats and the Deep State for somehow hacking them? The political press would go along, because they don't know anything and like drama. If they structure it so that their own money isn't exposed, that might be the idea.

     @molly0xfff "Trump is about to do a very stupid thing. How can we prevent this stupid thing so it doesn't keep him from being elected president, which is a thing we want to happen."
