220個人每人付了100萬美元與唐納德·特朗普共進晚餐

近幾個月來有很多機會讓富人購買唐納德·特朗普的機會

The president has taken his pay-to-dine schemes to new heights with a contest involving his meme coin, $TRUMP.

總統通過涉及他的模因硬幣$特朗普的比賽將他的付費計劃帶到了新的高度。

Just over two weeks ago, the president made an enticing proposal to his crypto fans: The top 220 owners of his cryptocurrency would be able to enjoy a black-tie-optional dinner at his golf course outside Washington, D.C., followed by a private tour of the White House the next day. Of the winners, the top 25 would be invited to a private reception with Trump.

就在兩週前，總統向他的加密貨幣粉絲提出了一項誘人的建議：他的加密貨幣的前220名所有者將能夠在華盛頓特區外的高爾夫球場上享用黑色領帶的晚餐，然後第二天進行白宮的私人遊覽。在獲獎者中，將邀請前25名與特朗普舉行私人招待會。

Democrats and government ethics watchdogs immediately warned that the sweepstakes was an obvious scheme to allow foreign interests to buy access to the president like never before. (Recent PAC fundraisers, for example, were limited by law to American donors.) With the contest wrapping up on Monday, it’s time to see who (probably) ponied up to meet the president.

民主黨人和政府道德監管機構立即警告說，抽獎是一個明顯的計劃，允許外國利益以前所未有的方式購買與總統的機會。 （例如，最近的PAC籌款人受法律限制在美國捐助者身上。）週一比賽結束時，是時候看看誰（可能）（可能）騙總統。

As the watchdogs warned, foreign capital dominated the contest, which was displayed on a leaderboard showing who owned the most $TRUMP coin and for how long, the two factors used to calculate the winners. An analysis by Bloomberg showed that 19 of the top 25 wallets showed that they were almost certainly owned by people operating outside the United States.

正如看門狗警告的那樣，外國資本主導了比賽，該比賽在排行榜上展示了誰擁有特朗普硬幣最多的$ $ trump硬幣，並且在計算獲勝者的兩個因素上，這兩個因素。彭博社的一項分析表明，前25個錢包中有19個表明，它們幾乎肯定是由美國以外的人擁有的。

It can be difficult based on names alone to determine who is behind top accounts like “Woo” or “SKY.” Others are less difficult to parse out, like the number-one holder of Trump’s coin, an account named “Sun.”

僅憑名字，就很難確定誰是“哇”或“天空”之類的頂級帳戶。其他人則不難消除，例如特朗普硬幣的第一持有人，一個名為“太陽”的帳戶。

Multiple analyses of the crypto wallet used by this account return to a Hong Kong–based crypto entrepreneur behind a company called Tron who has been a major supporter of Trump, investing $75 million in one of the president’s other crypto ventures.

該帳戶使用的加密錢包的多次分析返回到一家名為Tron的公司的基於香港的加密企業家，該公司一直是特朗普的主要支持者，在總統的另一個加密貨幣風險投資中投資了7500萬美元。

While a representative for Sun declined to comment on his $TRUMP purchases, he owns about $18.6 million at its current market price. Around $4.5 million of that sum came after Trump’s dinner announcement.

雖然Sun的代表拒絕對他的特朗普購買$ 1,860萬美元發表評論。在特朗普宣布晚餐之後，大約有450萬美元出現了。

Already, his investment in Trump’s crypto world appears to have paid off, with the Securities and Exchange Commission pausing a case against Sun for allegedly selling unregistered securities.

他在特朗普的加密貨幣世界上的投資似乎已經取得了回報，證券和交易委員會因涉嫌出售未註冊的證券而暫停了針對Sun的案件。

In second place is MeCo, which has been one of the few accounts in the sweepstakes who have been public in their pursuit. The wallet is owned by a crypto firm in Singapore called MemeCore, which has been writing on X that it is “aiming for #1 on the $TRUMP leaderboard.” The company, a crypto network that describes itself as supporting meme coins and online culture at large, has also been soliciting contributions, asking people to donate their $TRUMP coins to their race in exchange for a bonus.

第二位是Meco，它一直是抽獎活動中少數幾個公開追求的帳戶之一。該錢包由新加坡的一家名為Memecore的加密貨幣公司所有，該公司一直在X上撰寫“目標是在$ trump Legardboard上＃1”。該公司是一個加密網絡，將自己描述為支持模因硬幣和整個在線文化，也一直在尋求貢獻，要求人們將其$ Trump硬幣捐贈給競賽中，以換取獎金。

“We’ve been watching the Trump meme coin project for quite some time and following its journey with great interest,” Cherry Hsu, the company’s chief business officer, says in a statement. She adds that MemeCore decided to make a “symbolic purchase” of around $18 million after hearing about the dinner. She declined to state who would be attending for the company, but that they would hope to ask him: “Are you a meme, or the result of one?”

該公司首席業務官Cherry Hsu在一份聲明中說：“我們一直在觀看特朗普模因硬幣項目，並引起了人們的興趣。”她補充說，Memecore在聽說晚餐後決定進行約1800萬美元的“象徵性購買”。她拒絕指出誰將參加該公司，但他們希望問他：“您是模因還是一個模因？”

A former tennis coach and guitarist in a rock band in Boston, Warwick returned to his native country of Australia over a decade ago to found several crypto ventures, amassing millions in the process. While he has acknowledged that he purchased a substantial amount of $TRUMP coin in January, it is unclear if he is in the top 25.

沃里克（Warwick）是波士頓一支搖滾樂隊的前網球教練和吉他手，十年前回到了他的祖國澳大利亞國家，找到了幾家加密貨幣風險，在此過程中積累了數百萬美元。儘管他承認自己在一月份購買了大量$特朗普硬幣，但尚不清楚他是否在前25名。

“It would be great to be able to meet the president,” he told the New York Times. If he gets a few moments with Trump or his crypto-focused son Eric, he hopes to discuss how his policies could further support the industry. “That’s something that I wouldn’t have expected I would have the opportunity to be even in the position to do,” he said.

他對《紐約時報》說：“能夠見到總統會很棒。”如果他與特朗普或以加密貨幣為中心的兒子埃里克（Eric）有一些時間，他希望討論他的政策如何進一步支持該行業。他說：“這是我不會期望的事情，即使我有機會做到這一點。”

Last September, World Liberty Financial — the family-owned firm that launched Trump’s other cryptocurrency USD1 — announced that an anonymous expert named Ogle would come on as an advisor to help with cybersecurity.

去年9月，世界自由金融公司（該家族企業啟動了特朗普的其他加密貨幣USD1）宣布，一位名叫Ogle的匿名專家將成為幫助網絡安全的顧問。

Ogle has founded a few crypto firms, but has made his reputation mostly by recovering millions from hackers who have broken into crypto exchanges. In a statement on X, he wrote that the dinner is attracting criticism because of its involvement with the crypto community:

Ogle創立了一些加密貨幣公司，但主要是通過從破裂進入加密交易所的黑客中恢復了數百萬美元的聲譽。他在X上的一份聲明中寫道，晚餐引起了批評，因為它參與了加密貨幣社區：

People are and will remain jelly of those who have put the time and effort into figuring out how crypto works and have done well because of it. People are and will remain upset that Trump is in office. People are and will remain afraid of change and new ways of thinking, and will criticize and attack those who believe in and try to push new paradigms.

人們曾經是並且將繼續留下時間和精力來弄清楚加密貨幣的運作方式並因此而做得很好。人們對特朗普上任時會感到不高興。人們會並且將繼續害怕改變和新的思維方式，並將批評和攻擊那些相信並試圖推動新範式的人。

The account that appears to be associated with Ogle has about $3.25 million worth of $TRUMP coin, enough to earn him a spot in the private reception with the president.

似乎與Ogle相關的帳戶有大約325萬美元的特朗普硬幣，足以讓他在總統的私人接待處贏得一席之地。
