華盛頓 - 總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在與加密貨幣投資者的數百萬美元晚宴上使用了總統印章，儘管白宮說這是私人而不是官方活動

President Donald Trump used the presidential seal at his multi-million-dollar dinner with crypto investors despite the White House saying it was a private rather than official event.

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統在與加密貨幣投資者（Crypto Investors）的數百萬美元晚宴上使用了總統印章，儘管白宮說這是私人而不是官方活動。

Attendees at the Trump National Golf Course Washington D.C. in Sterling, Virginia, paid an estimated $148 million in total to meet Trump, according to crypto intelligence firm Inca Digital.

據加密情報公司Inca Digital稱，在弗吉尼亞州斯特林的特朗普全國高爾夫球場的與會者總共支付了1.48億美元，以與特朗普滿足特朗普。

About 100 protesters across the street from the golf course held signs with messages such as "Stop Crypto Corruption" and "Release the guest list."

高爾夫球場上的大街上約有100名抗議者舉行了標誌，並帶有“停止加密腐敗”和“釋放客人名單”等信息。

Trump's official @GetTrumpMemes social media site promoted the dinner on May 5, saying, the "President of the United States is having Dinner with his top $TRUMP Coin holders. Who does that? Only The Crypto President."

特朗普的官方@gettrumpmemes社交媒體網站於5月5日推廣了晚餐，他說：“美國總統正在與他的頂級特朗普硬幣持有人共進晚餐。誰做到了？只有加密貨幣總統。”

"This is one of the most blatant and appalling instances of selling access to the presidency I've seen," said Donald Sherman, executive director and chief counsel of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

華盛頓的執行董事兼首席顧問唐納德·謝爾曼（Donald Sherman）說：“這是出售我見過的總統職位的最公然，最令人震驚的實例之一。”

"It's not appropriate for the president to be promoting a private cryptocurrency in his official capacity. And it's certainly not appropriate for the White House to be providing any assistance with this event."

“總統以正式的身份促進私人加密貨幣是不合適的。白宮當然不適合為這項活動提供任何幫助。”

The Securities and Exchange Commission sued Sun and his companies - Tron Foundation, BitTorrent Foundation, and Rainberry - in March 2023. But under the Trump administration the SEC asked for the case to be put on hold in February to enable a potential out of court settlement to be reached.

證券交易委員會於2023年3月起訴Sun及其公司 - Tron Foundation，Bittorrent Foundation和Rainberry。

"We're aware of the complaint filed by the SEC," a spokesperson for TRON told Axios at the time. "We're actively working with the SEC to reach a fair resolution as quickly as possible."

特隆發言人當時告訴Axios：“我們知道SEC提出的投訴。” “我們正在與SEC積極合作，盡快達成公平的解決方案。”

Sun said ahead of the dinner that "As the top holder of $TRUMP, I’m excited to connect with everyone, talk crypto, and discuss the future of our industry."

太陽在晚餐前說：“作為特朗普$的頂級持有人，我很高興與所有人建立聯繫，談論加密貨幣並討論我們行業的未來。”

His post after the dinner showed Trump making brief remarks next to a podium with the presidential seal.

晚餐後他的帖子表明，特朗普與總統印章的講台旁邊作了簡短的講話。

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters the dinner was a private rather than public event.

白宮新聞秘書卡羅琳·萊維特（Karoline Leavitt）告訴記者，晚餐是私人的，而不是公共活動。

“The president is attending it in his personal time,” Leavitt said.

萊維特說：“總統在他的個人時間裡參加。”

She dismissed questions about the ethics of holding the dinner for people who invested in his crypto coin.

她駁回了關於投資加密硬幣的人們舉行晚餐的道德問題的問題。

“The president is abiding by all conflict of interest laws that are applicable to the president,” Leavitt said. “The American public believe it is absurd for anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting from the presidency.”

利維特說：“總統遵守適用於總統的所有利益法律法律。” “美國公眾認為，任何人都暗示這位總統正在從總統職位中獲利是荒謬的。”
