智囊團要求司法部調查特朗普的成員

一個智囊團敦促美國司法部（DOJ）調查唐納德·特朗普總統的官方特朗普（特朗普）Memecoin

A public interest group has urged the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate President Donald Trump’s Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin, arguing that it could violate federal laws prohibiting officials from soliciting gifts.

一個公共利益集團敦促美國司法部（DOJ）調查唐納德·特朗普總統的官方特朗普（特朗普）紀念物，認為它可能違反禁止官員徵求禮物的聯邦法律。

In a letter sent on Feb. 5 to the DOJ and the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE), Public Citizen officials questioned whether Trump’s direct promotion of the token constitutes an illegal solicitation.

在2月5日致司法部和美國政府道德辦公室（OGE）辦公室的一封信中，公民官員質疑特朗普直接促進令牌是否構成非法招標。

“A person sending money for a Trump meme is not purchasing a tangible product. Instead, the person receives only a digital receipt (in a blockchain), which is similar to a donor sending a check and receiving digital confirmation that the check was received,” the letter states.

“一個為特朗普模因寄錢的人不是購買有形產品。取而代之的是，該人僅收到數字收據（在區塊鏈中），該收據類似於捐贈者發送支票並收到收到支票的數字確認的捐贈者。”

The watchdog group noted that Trump’s memecoin does not represent a tangible product or an investment contract but is instead a mechanism for financial contributions that personally benefit him.

監管機構指出，特朗普的紀念物不代表有形的產品或投資合同，而是一種親自受益於他的財務捐款的機制。

Trump first launched the TRUMP memecoin in mid-January, just days before taking office. The token soared in value by 11,000%, now ranking as the 41st-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. However, watchdogs say the project raises ethical and legal concerns.

特朗普在1月中旬，就在上任前幾天首次推出了特朗普的成人。代幣的價值飆升了11,000％，現在按市值排名為41大加密貨幣。但是，看門狗說該項目引起了道德和法律問題。

Public Citizen cited the federal anti-bribery statute, which prohibits officials from soliciting gifts for personal gain. While presidents are allowed to receive gifts, they cannot actively request them. The letter further warns that Trump’s use of the token could set a dangerous precedent, allowing other politicians to monetize their positions in ways that bypass federal oversight.

公民列舉了《聯邦反賄賂法》，該法規禁止官員徵求禮物以獲得個人利益。雖然允許總統收到禮物，但他們不能積極要求他們。這封信進一步警告說，特朗普對代幣的使用可能會樹立危險的先例，使其他政客可以以繞過聯邦監督的方式獲利。

Public Citizen also flagged potential violations of the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, arguing that crypto transactions can be conducted anonymously, which could allow foreign state actors to use the memecoin to financially benefit the U.S. president without disclosure.

公共公民還標記了對憲法的埃默爾條款的潛在違規行為，認為可以匿名進行加密交易，這可以允許外國州行為者利用該紀念物在未經披露的情況下對美國總統進行財務利益。

“A person sending money for a Trump meme is not purchasing a new tangible product. Instead, the person receives only a digital receipt (in a blockchain), which is similar to a donor sending a check and receiving digital confirmation that the check was received,” the letter adds.

“為特朗普模因寄錢的人沒有購買新的有形產品。取而代之的是，該人僅收到數字收據（在區塊鏈中），這類似於捐贈者發送支票並收到收到支票的數字確認。”

Backlash against Trump’s crypto involvement

反對特朗普的加密參與

The backlash against Trump’s crypto involvement extends beyond legal concerns.

針對特朗普加密貨幣的反對范圍超出了法律關注。

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently warned that political coins could serve as vehicles for unlimited political bribery, though he did not reference TRUMP specifically.

以太坊聯合創始人Vitalik Buterin最近警告說，政治硬幣可以作為無限政治賄賂的車輛，儘管他沒有專門提及特朗普。

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban mocked the TRUMP token, suggesting that all proceeds from its sales should be directed to the U.S. Treasury to help reduce the national debt.

億萬富翁的投資者馬克·古巴（Mark Cuban）嘲笑特朗普的代幣，建議將其銷售中的所有收益都引向美國財政部，以幫助減少國家債務。

“If meme coins are the way, maybe I'll issue one. With a twist. Same terms as $TRUMP. 20% float. Same release schedule. One difference. All the revenue from the sale of the coins go to the U.S. Treasury. The wallet address will be published so everyone can track it. If you want to gamble, gamble. But at least use it to make a dent in the U.S. Debt. You in?” Cuban said on X.

“如果模因硬幣是一種方式，也許我會發行一枚。有一個扭曲。與$ trump相同的條款。 20％浮動。相同的發佈時間表。一個區別。出售硬幣的所有收入都將用於美國財政部。錢包地址將發布，以便每個人都可以跟踪它。如果您想賭博，請賭博。但至少用它來削弱美國債務。你進去嗎？”古巴在X上說。
