（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

韓國加密投資者和企業家Sangrok Oh週五告訴美國廣播公司新聞，他和其他頂級投資者受邀參觀白宮

President Donald Trump's Thursday night gala for the top holders of his cryptocurrency meme coin had nothing to do with his official duties, the White House said.

白宮說，唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統在周四晚上為他的加密貨幣硬幣的頂級持有人舉行了與他的正式職責無關。

But several of those investors visited the White House Friday afternoon for what they described as a special VIP event.

但是，其中一些投資者周五下午訪問了白宮，他們描述的是特殊的VIP活動。

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

韓國加密投資者兼企業家桑格羅克（Sangrok Oh）週五對美國廣播公司（ABC News）表示，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見他們。

“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。”

Thursday night’s black tie event, held at Trump’s Washington-area golf club, was attended by around 200 cryptocurrency traders, including many from overseas, who gained admission through a contest that invited the top investors in Trump’s meme coin — with at least some of the funds flowing directly into the Trump family’s coffers.

週四晚上在特朗普的華盛頓地區高爾夫俱樂部舉行的黑色領帶賽事參加了大約200名加密貨幣交易員，其中包括許多來自海外的貿易商，他們通過一場邀請特朗普的模因硬幣的頂級投資者獲得了承認，至少有一些資金直接流入了特朗普家族的庫存中。

Critics have blasted the gala as a “pay for play” event in which investors who poured millions into Trump’s crypto coin got special access to the president.

批評家將晚會炸毀為“付費”活動，其中將數百萬美元投入特朗普的加密貨幣的投資者可以與總統特殊接觸。

News that top $TRUMP coin investors visited the White House appeared to contradict White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s assertion Thursday that the president was attending the crypto gala in a personal capacity, and that since the dinner did not take place at the White House, it was separate from his official duties.

最高特朗普硬幣投資者參觀白宮的消息似乎與白宮新聞秘書卡羅琳·萊維特（Karoline Leavitt）週四的主張相矛盾，即總統正在以個人身份參加加密貨幣晚會，而且由於晚餐沒有在白宮舉行，這與他的正式職責是不同的。

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

萊維特週四說：“總統在他的個人時間參加了[晚餐]。” “這不是白宮晚餐。它不是在白宮舉行的。”

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

白宮未在周五立即回應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.

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。

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.”

該網站還包括一個免責聲明，稱這次旅行是由Fight Fight Fight LLC安排的，總統本人將作為“客人”出現。
