Okay, so Trump pardons this crypto dude, Changpeng Zhao—or "CZ," whatever—who pleaded guilty to, you know, enabling money laundering. Serious stuff. Then, he goes on 60 Minutes and says, "I don't know who he is." 'I don't know who he is,' says Trump after pardoning crypto tycoon Give me a break.
Trump claims he was told CZ was a victim of a "witch hunt" by Biden. A witch hunt? Seriously? That's the best they could come up with? This ain't Salem, folks. This is about a guy who admitted to letting criminals wash their dirty money through his crypto exchange, Binance.
And Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, calls the prosecution a "war on cryptocurrency." Oh, please. It's a war on illegal activity, disguised as a war on crypto. See how that works?
The pardon supposedly lifts restrictions on CZ running financial ventures, but does it really change anything? Does it magically erase his past? I doubt it. Regulators aren't going to suddenly forget he pleaded guilty.
Here's where it gets interesting, or, you know, even more shady. CZ's companies have partnered with firms linked to Trump. Dominari Holdings, based in Trump Tower, has Trump's sons on the board of advisors. Convenient, isn't it?
And let's not forget the stablecoin launched by World Liberty Financial that was supposed to be used for a $2 billion investment in Binance. The Trump administration also halted a fraud case against Justin Sun after his investments in World Liberty Financial. Are we connecting the dots here? It's practically a connect-the-dots book at this point.

So, Trump pardons CZ, then claims ignorance. But his people have been knee-deep in crypto deals with CZ's associates. It's like saying, "I don't know that guy," while you're both wearing the same "Partners in Crime" t-shirt.
I mean, are we really supposed to believe Trump just woke up one day and decided to pardon a random crypto guy because...reasons? It stinks to high heaven.
Offcourse, maybe I'm just being cynical. Maybe Trump really doesn't know CZ. Maybe he just signs whatever documents are put in front of him without reading them. Yeah, that's totally believable.
Trump also mentioned that the US needs to be a leader in crypto, or China will gain an advantage. Ah, yes, the old "China is coming to get us" argument. It's a classic. Use fear to justify questionable decisions. Works every time, right?
But let's be real. This isn't about national security. It's about money. It's always about money. Trump sees an opportunity to get involved in the crypto game, and he's taking it. The pardon is just a piece of the puzzle.
Seriously, what else are we supposed to think? The guy says he doesn't know CZ, but the connections are there, staring us right in the face. This whole thing is just…ugh. It's exhausting trying to keep up with the level of bullsh*t.
