Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

When Trump fans snapped up $550 million worth of WLFI, the token tied to the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial crypto project, they thought they were getting the deal of the century. Tokens bought for between $0.015 and $0.05 between October 2024 and January 2025 soared to an all-time high of $0.33 when they started trading last September, turning modest purchases into small fortunes overnight — at least on paper.

But there was just one catch.

World Liberty Financial’s creators, which include US President Donald Trump and his sons Eric, Donald Jr., and Barron, granted themselves the sole power to decide who can sell and when.

World's most obvious con man continues to con fans

Amazon should pay $40 million on a documentary about all the scams Trump has participated in.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

They could make an entire series. Multiple seasons even.

Holy shit though, this is crazy conning at a huge level, lol.

Fucker has been so enriched while being in office it's really disgusting. I believe the reason he wants people to pay student loans isn't some fairness bullshit. He thinks he can scrape the top off them at the least.

I love stupid MAGA people

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 63 points 2 months ago

who can sell and when

Holy shit, that’s freaking icing on the cake. You get what you deserve

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This was the most obvious rug pull I’ve ever seen. 

They only want out because they thought he would tell them when to pull, which doesn’t makes sense because then who’s getting ripped off?

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 13 points 2 months ago

THE LIBS… somehow.

[–] spaghettiwestern@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You can fool all the people some of the time, and ~~some of the people~~ MAGA all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

These idiots would enthusiastically vote for the child rapist a fourth time.

This is so fucking funny, honestly

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No mention of grounds for impeachment under the domestic emoluments clause?

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Not as long as the traitor filth republicans continue to destroy the country by allowing the demented rapist to wreck literally everything.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

And the Democrats, who roll over and give Republicans whatever they want.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

Don't be silly, that only applies to Democrats

One of the few bright spots in this whole mess is seeing this meme evolve into weirder and weirder images every day. I hate everything about the current political climate, but at least I know I'll see a new version of this every time I open the comments on here. And that makes me smile.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Biblically accurate fell for it

[–] quoll@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 months ago

"But... The imimigrants are the cause of all muh prohblems.

Thank you presidentrump for a being the racist we couldn't openly be.

Long live merikkka"

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I would simply sell them to a Greater Fool. Problem solved.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's just regular crypto trading.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wish I was a greater fool in 2010.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Imagine having 1000 bitcoins tucked safely away in your MtGox account

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

It would be nice to maybe have a chance of seeing some of that money again, but the knowledge of what I'd fucked up would have a heavy mental burden of its own.

Obviously if it was me I surely would've pulled my coins out when the email addresses got leaked, because I'm such an unusually foresighted person.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

They can't sell them!

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They literally cannot lol

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Damn, can't believe this Worthless Loser Fucking Idiotcoin isn't working out for them

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

Imagine that, the literarily illiterate are also financially illiterate.

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I forgot about that...

Any good news about his NFTs aswell?

[–] db2@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

That's like the wet dream of wall street "market makers" aka criminals.

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago

So this is just OneCoin all over again. Let's hope the Russian mafia "disappear" Trump as well.
