民主党国会议员敦促美国众议院委员会调查唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统对加密货币的介入是否违反了道德义务

特朗普的家人和亲密同伙最近启动了几个加密项目，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.

民主党国会议员杰拉德·康诺利（Gerard Connolly）已写信给美国众议院监督和政府改革委员会，敦促其调查唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统涉及各种加密计划是否违反了《总统道德改革法案》中的义务。

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.

特朗普的家人和亲密同伙最近启动了几个加密项目，包括Defi Platform World Liberty Financial（WLF）和Memecoins $ Trump和Melania。康诺利（Connolly）在他的信中声称，特朗普本人可能已经从这些项目中从经济上获利，从而引发了有关利益冲突的严重问题，并可能损害了国家安全。

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.”

康诺利（Connolly）敦促委员会要求特朗普对任何道德规范的违规负责，并表示没有委员会的行动，“特朗普总统不太可能维护《总统道德改革法案》的一项规定，尽管该法案是共和党总统道德的黄金标准。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.

作为这一主张的证据，康诺利指出，特朗普甚至还没有达到总统透明度的最低标准 - 释放了他的纳税申报表。

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

康诺利（Connolly）声称，随着他的加密计划的启动，特朗普（Trump）从“家庭行业”兜售了政治影响力。

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.

他特别担心WLF，指出其最大的投资者是中国国家和Tron创始人贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun），他以前曾被证券交易委员会（SEC）（SEC）指控欺诈和市场操纵。直到Sun的投资Connolly声称WLF是“破产”，几乎没有令牌销售。

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，现在，由于Sun购买了3000万美元（4750万美元）的WLF代币，该项目已经达到了自定义的收入门槛，这意味着任何后来的收入都可以直接向特朗普汇入。

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还指出，WLF不会返回收益率，并且似乎是设计良好的投资工具，这表明它“似乎是为了使个人直接向特朗普总统汇款而设计。”

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).

康诺利说，特朗普的成员也有类似的功能，他强调说，与特朗普相关的实体拥有80％的特朗普和类似百分比的$ melania。在撰写本文时，根据Coingecko的说法，这些特朗普的模因的总稀释市值为375亿美元（593亿美元）。

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.

康诺利（Connolly）指出，道德专家提出的担忧是，这些模因（例如WLF）可以作为向特朗普（Trump）筹集现金的有效方法 - 本质上允许任何有足够金钱的人以非常非透明的方式与美国总统购买影响力。

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:

对特朗普的加密计划的道德含义的担忧，这不仅是史迪奇老国会议员（也可能不知道如何打开计算机）。 Vitalik Buterin在今天早些时候发布了以太坊的创始人，播出了类似的担忧：

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进一步解释说，Crypto还为寻求贿赂政客的人们提供了合理的掩护，他们可以简单地说他们正在赌博：

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.”

由于这些腐败有风险，以太坊创始人敦促所有政客不要自己发起加密项目，并说：“这对民主来说都是冒险的……我建议政治家不要走这条路。”

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:

特朗普的前白宫传播总监Anthony“ The Mooch” Scarramucci也曾宣布过类似的担忧，并在$ TRUMP上发布后不久发布了X / Twitter上的发布：
