名譽掃地的「製藥兄弟」馬丁·施克雷利(Martin Shkreli) 聲稱，他和唐納德·川普(Donald Trump) 18 歲的兒子巴倫·川普(Barron Trump) 是一種神秘的川普品牌加密貨幣的幕後黑手，該加密貨幣的價值本週一直在飆升。

什克雷利於2017 年提高救生藥物的價格後被判犯有證券欺詐罪，他表示，巴倫·川普的一位熟人最初與他聯繫，希望製造這款代幣，該代幣的品牌為DJT TrumpCoin。

Shkreli, who was convicted of securities fraud in 2017 after he hiked the price of a life-saving drug, said he was approached by an acquaintance of Barron about making the coin, which has been branded DJT TrumpCoin.

有關可能與第 45 任總統有聯繫的傳言導致 DJT TrumpCoin 的價值在周二 24 小時內飆升 385%，交易量達到 3.63 億美元。

「大約三個月前，我開始與另外兩個人（其中一個是川普家族成員）合作創建川普幣，」他在 X（以前稱為 Twitter）上的直播中聲稱。

“I was surprised. It was the president’s son, [which] seems like a good idea,” he said during the X Spaces event. “He wants to make money.”

“我很驚訝。這是總統的兒子，[這]似乎是個好主意，」他在 X Spaces 活動中說道。 “他想賺錢。”
