公民呼籲對特朗普晉升的調查

政府監管機構集團公民已向司法部和政府道德辦公室提出了正式申訴，唐納德·特朗普總統推出了梅米硬幣。

Government watchdog group Public Citizen has filed a formal complaint with the Department of Justice and the Office of Government Ethics regarding President Donald Trump’s launch of meme coins.

政府監管機構集團公民已向司法部和政府道德辦公室提出了正式申訴，唐納德·特朗普總統推出了梅米硬幣。

The group is urging an investigation into whether Trump violated federal laws by promoting and soliciting money for his Official Trump meme coin.

該組織正在敦促調查特朗普是​​否通過促進和向其官方特朗普模因硬幣徵收金錢來違反聯邦法律。

The complaint, submitted on Wednesday, cites social media posts from Trump on both X (formerly Twitter) and Truth Social. According to the submission, the US president used these platforms to promote the TRUMP coin and encouraged supporters to send money.

投訴於週三提交的投訴引用了特朗普在X（以前為Twitter）和真相社會上的社交媒體帖子。根據提交，美國總統使用這些平台來宣傳特朗普硬幣，並鼓勵支持者匯款。

Further, Public Citizen alleges these posts were re-shared on January 20 and January 21, shortly after Trump was inaugurated. The group argues that this constitutes a potential violation of federal laws prohibiting the president from soliciting personal gifts.

此外，公民稱這些職位於1月20日和1月21日重新共享，即特朗普開幕後不久。該組織認為，這構成了禁止總統徵求個人禮物的可能違反聯邦法律的行為。

“A president soliciting money from the general public for his personal enrichment would be a reprehensible abuse of the presidency. The Department of Justice and Office of Government Ethics owe it to the American people to thoroughly investigate whether Donald Trump’s solicitation is in violation of the law, and, if it is, take appropriate action to stop it,” an excerpt in the report read, citing Bartlett Naylor, a financial services advocate at Public Citizen.

“總統從公眾的個人充實中向公眾徵收資金將是對總統職位的虐待。司法部和政府倫理辦公室歸功於美國人民，以徹底調查唐納德·特朗普的招標是否違反了法律，如果有適當的行動來製止它。”援引公共公民的金融服務倡導者Bartlett Naylor。

The complaint also calls out Trump’s official website for the meme coin for stating that contributions to the project are purely in exchange for a digital receipt. According to the advocacy group, this suggests that the money received is not tied to any tangible product or service.

投訴還呼籲特朗普的官方網站憑藉《模因硬幣》，以指出對該項目的貢獻純粹是為了換取數字收據。根據倡導組織的說法，這表明收到的錢與任何有形的產品或服務無關。

Public citizens are concerned that the funds collected may directly benefit Trump, potentially breaching federal ethics laws. Additionally, the complaint raises constitutional concerns.

公民擔心收集的資金可能會直接受益於特朗普，並可能違反聯邦道德法。此外，投訴引發了憲法問題。

Notably, the US Constitution forbids any president from accepting money or items of value from foreign sources. Given crypto transactions’ decentralized and anonymous nature, it isn’t easy to ascertain whether foreign state actors are purchasing Trump’s meme coin.

值得注意的是，美國憲法禁止任何總統接受外國資源的金錢或有價值的物品。鑑於加密交易的分散和匿名性質，不容易確定外國參與者是否正在購買特朗普的模因硬幣。

According to the complaint, this creates possible national security and foreign policy risks.

根據投訴，這會產生可能的國家安全和外交政策風險。

The latest complaint follows mounting scrutiny over Trump-affiliated cryptocurrencies. Two weeks ago, Senator Elizabeth Warren called for federal scrutiny of the TRUMP and MELANIA meme coins. As BeInCrypto reported, she warned of potential regulatory and ethical violations.

最新的投訴是在對特朗普相關的加密貨幣進行審查之後。兩週前，參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren）呼籲對特朗普和梅拉尼亞模因硬幣進行聯邦審查。正如Beincrypto報導的那樣，她警告說，潛在的監管和道德違規行為。

Around the same time, Democrats demanded an ethics probe into Trump’s involvement in meme coin-related financial dealings. They cited concerns about his association with World Liberty Financial.

大約在同一時間，民主黨人要求對特朗普參與與模因硬幣相關的財務交易進行調查。他們引用了他與世界自由金融的聯繫的擔憂。

“The expanding scope of President Trump—and by extension The Trump Organization’s—financial entanglements and quid pro quo promises are troubling,” wrote US Representative Gerald Connolly.

美國代表杰拉爾德·康諾利（Gerald Connolly）寫道：“特朗普總統的範圍不斷擴大，並擴大了特朗普組織的範圍和努力承諾令人不安。”

Despite these growing concerns, Trump recently denied knowledge of the meme coin. However, the denial came amid significant market fluctuations in the coin’s value, adding further speculation about his level of involvement.

儘管存在這些越來越多的擔憂，但特朗普最近否認了對模因硬幣的了解。但是，由於硬幣的價值發生了重大的市場波動，這種否認是對他的參與程度的進一步猜測。

Nevertheless, public interest in the TRUMP meme coin has surged. A recent survey found that over 40% of TRUMP meme coin holders are first-time investors, illustrating the coin’s strong appeal among inexperienced traders. At the same time, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), Trump’s DeFi venture, has experienced a dramatic rise in token sales following the launch of the TRUMP meme coin.

然而，公眾對特朗普模因硬幣的興趣激增。最近的一項調查發現，超過40％的特朗普模因硬幣持有人是首次投資者，這說明了硬幣在經驗不足的商人中的強烈吸引力。同時，特朗普的Defi Venture World Liberty Financial（WLFI）在Trump Meme Coin推出後，令牌銷售的急劇上升。

Further analysis of blockchain transactions has also revealed concerning centralization issues. A recent Chainalysis report found that 94% of TRUMP and MELANIA tokens are held by just 40 wallets. This raises questions about potential price manipulation and insider advantages.

對區塊鏈交易的進一步分析也揭示了有關集中化問題的進一步分析。最近的一份鏈分析報告發現，只有40個錢包持有特朗普和梅拉尼亞代幣的94％。這引發了有關潛在價格操縱和內部優勢的疑問。

Beyond ethical and regulatory concerns, Trump’s meme coin launch has also prompted discussions about its legal and tax implications. Cryptocurrency experts warn that such a venture could carry significant tax liabilities for Trump and investors.

除了道德和監管問題之外，特朗普的模因硬幣發射還促使人們討論了其法律和稅收影響。加密貨幣專家警告說，這樣的冒險可以為特朗普和投資者承擔重大稅收負債。

Moreover, if the investigation finds that Trump’s meme coin solicitation violates federal law, the Public Citizen’s complaint suggests immediate actions. These may include terminating the sale, refunding the money, and implementing additional penalties.

此外，如果調查發現特朗普的模因造成的招標違反了聯邦法律，則公民投訴建議立即採取行動。這些可能包括終止銷售，退還資金並實施其他罰款。

The Department of Justice and the Office of Government Ethics have yet to respond to the filing.

司法部和政府道德辦公室尚未回應備案。
