ট্রাম্প ক্রিপ্টো বিলিয়নেয়ারদের ক্ষমা করার জন্য ‘ভয়াবহ পরামর্শ’ দিয়েছেন: মূল সমর্থক
Venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale, a prominent supporter of President Trump, suggested Thursday that the president was “terribly misinformed” about the decision to pardon Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. “I love President Trump; he may be the greatest administrator I have seen besides maybe these pardons,” Lonsdale wrote in a post on social media platform X on Thursday, hours after Trump pardoned Zhao. “If I call balls and strikes this is strike after ball! The President of the USA is terribly advised on this; it looks like there is rampant grift around him in this area,” he added. In 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to failing to maintain an effective anti-money laundering program and was eventually sentenced to four months in prison. Binance paid $4.3 billion to settle various charges related to the Department of Justice. “Cryptocurrency targeted by the Biden administration for war.” The move immediately drew criticism from those who highlighted Binance’s recent relationship with World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture launched by Trump and his sons last year. In May, Emirati investment firm MGX invested $2 billion in Binance using the crypto firm’s new stablecoin. Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) introduced a resolution on Friday condemning Zhao’s pardon, calling on Congress to “use its power to stop such corruption.” “President Trump’s pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao is the latest example of using the pardon power as a way to reward wealthy donors and allies, as well as enrich himself.” “This latest abuse of power undermines public confidence and makes a mockery of equal justice under the law.” Some of Trump’s other pardons have faced scrutiny, including his recent decision last week to commute the sentence of former Rep. George Santos (R-NY). Santos was serving a seven-year prison sentence for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
