Trump's crypto business partner #JustinSun, a man so crooked even other crypto bros refuse to deal with him, is tweeting some absolutely wild stuff right now about his latest "algorithmic stablecoin" ponzi with a 20% "risk free" interest rate modeled after the Terra/Luna ponzi that collapsed in spectacular fashion in 2022.

(He's also a #Tether business partner of #HowardLutnick, the man soon to be American Commerce Secretary. He controls the #Tron blockchain where all the super shady terrorist financing and organized crime #moneylaundering happens).

Trump cabinet member #HowardLutnick's¹ $135 billion crypto-bank-for-criminals #Tether has two options:

1. submit to an audit like any normal financial firm

2. lose the entire EU customer base, representing a pct of global GDP comparable to the US or China

the fact that they chose #2 tells you everything you need to know about tether.

notice also that #Kraken and #CryptoCom are delisting #Paypal's #stablecoin #PYUSD... wonder what that's about.

¹ It was widely reported that Lutnick's firm #CantorFitzgerald, which manages Tether's assets, had taken a 5% stake in the co. but during his confirmation hearing he said there was only a "convertible bond", which is what the kids call "sus".
