《華爾街日報》在他不透明的加密貨幣業務上呼喚唐納德·特朗普總統

在觀察到“特朗普喜歡模糊個人業務和公職之間的界限”之後，該期刊稱他“通過與他的模因中的前220名持有人取消他的周四晚會來幫助自己，”

The Wall Street Journal has slammed President Donald Trump over his opaque cryptocurrency enterprise in a new editorial all but accusing him of using his office to enrich his family.

《華爾街日報》已在新的社論中抨擊唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統的不透明加密貨幣企業，但指責他使用辦公室來豐富他的家人。

After observing that “Trump likes to blur lines between personal business and public office,” the Journal submitted that he would “help himself by calling off his Thursday gala with the top 220 holders of his meme-coin,” or at least by disclosing “his crypto contest’s winners so Americans know who may be trying to buy access to the President.”

在觀察到“特朗普喜歡模糊個人業務和公職之間的界限”之後，該期刊稱他將“通過與他的模因中的前220名持有人取消週四的晚會來幫助自己，或者至少通過披露“他的加密貨幣競賽的贏家，所以美國人知道誰可能會嘗試購買總統的機會”。

Trump announced his intention to release a meme coin shortly before moving back into the White House this January. And in April, he announced that the top 220 holders of the coin would be invited to a private dinner with him, while the top 25 would also enjoy an “ultra-exclusive private VIP reception.”

特朗普宣布打算在今年1月回到白宮之前不久釋放模因硬幣。他在四月宣布，將邀請硬幣的前220名持有人與他一起參加私人晚餐，而前25名也將享受“超級專有的私人VIP接待”。

As the influential Journal editorial board noted, the “real identities” of the meme coin holders are not public, though a majority of the top 220 and supermajority of the top 25 are believed to have bought their coins on foreign exchanges.

正如《有影響力的期刊》編輯委員會指出的那樣，模因硬幣持有者的“真實身份”不是公開的，儘管據信前220名前220名和超級貢獻的大多數被認為是在外交交流上購買了硬幣。

“This suggests most of the top buyers are foreigners. Might they be seeking a seat at the President’s table to influence U.S. policy, especially in foreign affairs? Mr. Trump claims he’s not doing anything wrong by holding the dinner. But even if he’s not violating any laws, the contest creates the risk of ethical conflicts,” argued the Journal before concluding:

“這表明大多數頂級買家都是外國人。他們是否可能在總統的桌子上尋求席位來影響我們的政策，尤其是在外交事務中？特朗普先生聲稱他沒有通過舉辦晚餐來做任何錯誤。但是，即使他沒有違反任何法律，比賽也會造成道德衝突的風險。”

If the contest is as above board as the President says, why not reveal the real names of the winners? Some of their identities are bound to come out anyway. The press, Democratic Attorneys General and Members of Congress are going to investigate. Mr. Trump lambasted President Biden over Hunter Biden’s artwork sales to secret buyers and pledged his Administration would be the “most transparent in history.” One way to fulfill that promise is to be transparent about his crypto investors.

如果比賽與總統所說的董事會一樣上述，為什麼不透露獲勝者的真實姓名呢？無論如何，他們的一些身份必然會出現。媒體，民主律師將軍和國會議員將進行調查。特朗普先生對亨特·拜登（Hunter Biden）向秘密買家的藝術品銷售抨擊拜登總統，並保證他的政府將是“歷史上最透明的”。實現這一諾言的一種方法是對他的加密投資者保持透明。

One recent report suggested that Trump’s cryptocurrency holdings alone are worth $2.9 billion.

最近的一份報告表明，僅特朗普的加密貨幣持有價值為29億美元。
