    tldr; A crypto trader incurred a $15.68 million loss after selling nearly 14 million Melania (MELANIA) tokens, the official memecoin of Melania Trump, which they had purchased for $30 million. Another trader lost $3.73 million on MELANIA trades. The token is down 93.5% from its all-time high. Similarly, a whale trading the TRUMP memecoin, linked to Donald Trump, faced a $24.4 million loss. Both tokens have seen significant value drops, and legislation is being proposed to prevent lawmakers from profiting off meme assets.

  2. Surprised there was enough liquidity for them to dump all these tokens in one shot

    How can someone with so much money be so ignorant of meme coin dynamics?

  4. that hypothesis where the current administration is using these tokens as places for people to pay them through crypto anonymously and just showing the receipt receipts independent of what the value of it goes to

  5. Awesome, somehow they’ll still mental gymnast this into being someone other than the Grifter in Command’s fault. His supporters never learn.

    Not feeling like opening the link, how many percentage did they lose?

  6. Uh, follow the money.
    Hmmm, who’s pockets got filled? – POTUS
    Hard not to see this ‘rugpull’ as a means of paying for favors (hello Russia)

  7. Are we pretending like these purchases from wealthy people were nothing more than illegal off the books financial contributions to the Trumps? The ease at which anyone in the world can dump a bunch of money into the meme coin owner’s pocket, untraceable is astonishing.

  8. I am shocked /s ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|surprise)

  9. No whale is that dumb. It’s bribe money. They provided exit liquidity for trump and co

  10. I’ll never understand why someone with that much money is pissing it on memecoins.

    I know this is a pro-crypto sub, but if I had $15m in my bank, I’d throw it into dividend paying stocks and live off a 3% yield (around $450k a year), I wouldn’t even dream of touching memecoins.

    Guess some people are just too greedy for their own good.

    Ah, the system is working just as it was designed to. Some anonymous person has given $15M to the Trumps, and it was all anonymous and legal.

  12. It is bribes to the Trump campaign plain and simple. Anyone with half a brain knew what their meme coins were about from the start.
