儘管聲稱相反，但唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的加密貨幣硬幣的投資者還是訪問了白宮

（華盛頓） - 儘管白宮一再聲稱唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）週四晚上的晚會為他的加密貨幣硬幣的頂級持有人與他的公職無關

President Donald Trump met with several of the top investors in his cryptocurrency meme coin at the White House on Friday afternoon for a special VIP event, the attendees told ABC News.

與會人員告訴ABC新聞，唐納德·特朗普總統在周五下午在白宮的加密貨幣模因硬幣會見了幾位頂級投資者，參加了一次特殊的VIP活動。

The presence of the crypto investors at the White House appeared to contradict claims by administration officials that Trump’s Thursday night gala for the meme coin investors had nothing to do with his official duties.

白宮加密貨幣投資者的在場似乎與政府官員的主張相矛盾，即特朗普在周四晚上舉行的模因硬幣投資者的晚會與他的公職無關。

Earlier this year, Trump announced he would be hosting a dinner at his golf club in Washington D.C., with the top 25 investors in his namesake meme coin — an endeavor undertaken with his youngest son, Eric Trump.

今年早些時候，特朗普宣布他將在華盛頓特區的高爾夫俱樂部舉辦晚宴，他的同名模因硬幣中排名前25位的投資者 - 這是與他的最小兒子埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）進行的努力。

To gain admission to the gala, investors had to pour millions of dollars into the $TRUMP coin, the vast majority of which went to Trump family businesses, according to an analysis by Litquidators, a blockchain analytics firm.

根據區塊鏈分析公司Litquidators的一項分析，投資者必須將數百萬美元投入到特朗普家族企業中。

The Trump campaign has insisted that the president was attending the dinner in a personal capacity, and that since it did not take place at the White House, it was separate from his official duties.

特朗普競選活動堅持認為，總統正在以個人身份參加晚宴，並且由於沒有在白宮舉行，因此與他的正式職責是分開的。

“The president is attending in his personal time,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday. “It is not a White House dinner. It’s not taking place here at the White House.”

白宮新聞秘書卡羅琳·萊維特（Karoline Leavitt）週四表示：“總統正參加他的個人時間。” “這不是白宮晚餐。它不是在白宮舉行的。”

But on Friday, Sangrok Oh, a Korean crypto investor, said he and other top investors had been invited to tour the White House on Friday afternoon, though it was not clear to him whether Trump himself would meet them.

但是在星期五，韓國加密貨幣投資者Sangrok Oh說，他和其他頂級投資者被邀請在周五下午參觀白宮，儘管尚不清楚特朗普本人是否會遇到他們。

“So, we’re going to visit and tour the White House [and] at the same time talk about crypto industries and the future of crypto,” Oh said.

哦說：“因此，我們將參觀白宮，同時談論加密工業和加密貨幣的未來。”

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond on Friday to a request for comment from ABC News.

特朗普競選活動未在周五立即回應ABC新聞的評論請求。

Cherry Hsu, an executive at MemeCore, a Singapore-based blockchain startup, said the firm’s founder, known publicly as “Ice,” had also been invited to the White House on Friday afternoon. MemeCore, according to the contest leaderboard, finished second in the competition with $TRUMP coin holdings in excess of $1 million.

位於新加坡的區塊鏈創業公司Memecore的高管Cherry Hsu說，該公司的創始人（公開稱為“ Ice”）也於週五下午被邀請到白宮。據比賽排行榜稱，Memecore在比賽中以超過100萬美元的價格獲得了第二名。

And late Friday, Justin Sun, a Chinese crupto mogul and the top investor in Trump’s meme coin, posted a highly produced video of his White House tour, writing on X, “Was an honor to be invited to tour the @WhiteHouse. Such a privilege to see it in person.”

週五晚些時候，中國爆發大亨賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun）和特朗普的模因硬幣中的頂級投資者發布了他的白宮巡迴演唱會的高度生產的視頻，並在X上寫道：“很榮幸能被邀請參觀@whitehouse。

In addition to his multimillion-dollar investment in the $TRUMP coin, Sun has also invested $75 million in World Liberty Financial, another Trump-backed crypto venture. One month after that investment, SEC lawyers under the Trump administration moved to halt an alleged fraud case against Sun.

除了他對特朗普硬幣的數百萬美元投資外，Sun還向World Liberty Financial投資了7500萬美元，這是另一個由特朗普支持的加密貨幣投資。投資後一個月，特朗普政府領導下的SEC律師移居涉嫌針對Sun的欺詐案。

The Trump meme coin’s website at one point earlier this month advertised a “Special VIP White House tour” for the top 25 meme coin holders as part of the contest — but as of last week, the site said only that a “Special VIP tour” would be arranged, without mentioning the White House. The site also included a disclaimer saying the tour was being arranged by the Fight Fight Fight LLC, and that the president himself would be appearing as a guest.

本月早些時候，特朗普模因硬幣的網站在比賽中為25個模因硬幣持有人做了“特殊的VIP白宮之旅”，作為比賽的一部分 - 但截至上週，該網站僅表示將安排“特殊的VIP巡迴演出”，而無需提及白宮。該網站還包括一個免責聲明，稱這次巡迴演出是由Fight Fight Fight LLC安排的，總統本人將作為客人出現。
