In April, Donald Trump promised a cryptocurrency dinner for the top holders of TRUMP meme tokens. The event is scheduled for today, May 22, 2024, with 220 of the top token holders at the Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia.
Although the exact identity of these holders is not yet available, their wallet addresses are revealed. They will undergo a full background check before the event, which begins at 5:30 PM. The Trump gala dinner will start at 7:00 PM and end at 10:00 PM. All these guests will meet with the 47th President of the United States, and the top 25 will visit the White House.
Some call it a win-win situation and a reward for the holder, while others call it a "pay-for-access" scheme. Chainalysis reveals that Trump's team earned $900,000 in commissions two days after the dinner contest announcement. However, Donald Trump has stated that there is no conflict of interest, as his family, and not him, manages all these cryptocurrency projects.
"Trump will host a private dinner tomorrow for the top buyers of his memecoin, which has made him the new cryptocurrency billionaire of the world."
The top 25 coin buyers will receive a “VIP tour of the White House.”
Let’s call it what it is: corruption.
