民主黨國會議員敦促美國眾議院委員會調查唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統對加密貨幣的介入是否違反了道德義務

特朗普的家人和親密同夥最近啟動了幾個加密項目，包括Defi Platform World Financial（WLF）和Memecoins

Democrat congressman, Gerard Connolly, has written to the US House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform urging it to investigate whether President Donald Trump’s involvement with various crypto schemes breaches his obligations under the Presidential Ethics Reform Act.

民主黨國會議員杰拉德·康諾利（Gerard Connolly）已寫信給美國眾議院監督和政府改革委員會，敦促其調查唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統涉及各種加密計劃是否違反了《總統道德改革法案》中的義務。

Trump’s family and close associates have launched several crypto projects recently, including the DeFi platform World Liberty Financial (WLF) and the memecoins $TRUMP and $MELANIA. In his letter Connolly claimed that Trump himself may already be profiting financially from these projects, raising serious questions about conflicts of interest and potentially compromising national security.

特朗普的家人和親密同夥最近啟動了幾個加密項目，包括Defi Platform World Liberty Financial（WLF）和Memecoins $ Trump和Melania。康諾利（Connolly）在他的信中聲稱，特朗普本人可能已經從這些項目中從經濟上獲利，從而引發了有關利益衝突的嚴重問題，並可能損害了國家安全。

Connolly urged the Committee to hold Trump accountable for any ethics breaches, saying without action from the committee, “President Trump is not likely to uphold a single provision of the Presidential Ethics Reform Act, despite the bill being the Republican gold standard for presidential ethics.”

康諾利（Connolly）敦促委員會要求特朗普對任何道德規範的違規負責，並表示沒有委員會的行動，“特朗普總統不太可能維護《總統道德改革法案》的一項規定，儘管該法案是共和黨總統道德的黃金標準。透明

As evidence for this claim, Connolly pointed out that Trump hadn’t even met the established minimum standard for presidential transparency — releasing his tax returns.

作為這一主張的證據，康諾利指出，特朗普甚至還沒有達到總統透明度的最低標準 - 釋放了他的納稅申報表。

Connolly claimed that Trump has taken political influence peddling from a “cottage industry” to a “global enterprise” with the launch of his crypto schemes.

康諾利（Connolly）聲稱，隨著他的加密計劃的啟動，特朗普（Trump）從“家庭行業”兜售了政治影響力。

He was particularly concerned about WLF, pointing out its largest investor is Chinese national and Tron founder Justin Sun, who has previously been charged with fraud and market manipulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Until Sun’s investment Connolly alleges WLF was “a bust”, with few token sales.

他特別擔心WLF，指出其最大的投資者是中國國家和Tron創始人賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun），他以前曾被證券交易委員會（SEC）（SEC）指控欺詐和市場操縱。直到Sun的投資Connolly聲稱WLF是“破產”，幾乎沒有令牌銷售。

Now though, with Sun’s purchase of US$30 million (AU$47.5 million) of WLF token, the project has met its self-determined revenue threshold, meaning any subsequent revenue could be directly funnelled to Trump.

但是，現在，由於Sun購買了3000萬美元（4750萬美元）的WLF代幣，該項目已經達到了自定義的收入門檻，這意味著任何後來的收入都可以直接向特朗普匯入。

Connolly also noted that WLF won’t return a yield and seems to be a poorly designed investment vehicle, suggesting it “appears singularly designed to allow individuals to funnel money directly to President Trump.”

Connolly還指出，WLF不會返回收益率，並且似乎是設計良好的投資工具，這表明它“似乎是為了使個人直接向特朗普總統匯款而設計。”

The Trump memecoins have a similar function, says Connolly, highlighting that Trump-associated entities own 80% of $TRUMP and a similar percentage of $MELANIA. At the time of writing, according to CoinGecko these Trump memecoins have a combined fully diluted market cap of US$37.5 billion (AU$59.3 billion).

康諾利說，特朗普的成員也有類似的功能，他強調說，與特朗普相關的實體擁有80％的特朗普和類似百分比的$ melania。在撰寫本文時，根據Coingecko的說法，這些特朗普的模因的總稀釋市值為375億美元（593億美元）。

Connolly pointed to concerns raised by ethics experts that these memecoins, like WLF, could function as an efficient way to funnel cash to Trump — essentially allowing anyone with enough money to buy influence with the US President in a very non-transparent way.

康諾利（Connolly）指出，道德專家提出的擔憂是，這些模因（例如WLF）可以作為向特朗普（Trump）籌集現金的有效方法- 本質上允許任何有足夠金錢的人以非常非透明的方式與美國總統購買影響力。

It’s not just stodgy old congressmen (who may or may not know how to turn on a computer) with concerns about the ethical implications of Trump’s crypto schemes. Posting on X / Twitter earlier today founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, aired similar concerns saying:

對特朗普的加密計劃的道德含義的擔憂，這不僅是史迪奇老國會議員（也可能不知道如何打開計算機）。 Vitalik Buterin在今天早些時候發布了以太坊的創始人，播出了類似的擔憂：

Buterin further explained that crypto also provides plausible cover for people seeking to bribe politicians, they can simply say they’re gambling on memecoins:

Buterin進一步解釋說，Crypto還為尋求賄賂政客的人們提供了合理的掩護，他們可以簡單地說他們正在賭博：

Because of these corruption risks the Ethereum founder urged all politicians not to launch crypto projects of their own, saying “this is all risky to democracy…I recommend politicians do not go down this path.”

由於這些腐敗有風險，以太坊創始人敦促所有政客不要自己發起加密項目，並說：“這對民主來說都是冒險的……我建議政治家不要走這條路。”

Trump’s former White House Director of Communications, Anthony ‘The Mooch’ Scarramucci, has also aired similar concerns, posting on X / Twitter shortly after the launch of $TRUMP:

特朗普的前白宮傳播總監Anthony“ The Mooch” Scarramucci也曾宣布過類似的擔憂，並在$ TRUMP啟動後不久發布了X / Twitter上的發布：
