外国钱正在涌入唐纳德·特朗普总统的模因硬币，特朗普$，买家名单包括强大的政府

从中国，沙特阿拉伯，卡塔尔和阿联酋的实体将数十亿美元推向了这个令牌，就像特朗普坐在白宫一样，他的家人经营着硬币的业务。

President Donald Trump’s meme coin, $TRUMP, is being targeted by foreign money in a desperate bid to get closer to the White House, and the list of buyers includes powerful governments and secretive companies.

唐纳德·特朗普总统的模因硬币$ trump的目标是外国资金，以迫切希望与白宫更接近，而买家名单包括强大的政府和秘密公司。

Billions are being poured into this token by entities from China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, just as Trump sits in the White House and his family runs the coin’s business.

正如特朗普坐在白宫，他的家人经营硬币的业务一样，来自中国，沙特阿拉伯，卡塔尔和阿联酋的实体将数十亿美元倒入这个代币。

According to The New York Times, the biggest chunk of money—$2 billion—is being put up by a firm backed by the United Arab Emirates. That same week, a barely functioning Chinese firm announced it had secured $300 million to load up on $TRUMP, even though it hasn’t made a single dollar in revenue from the TikTok store it operates.

据《纽约时报》报道，一家由阿拉伯联合酋长国支持的公司投放了最大的钱（20亿美元）。同一周，一家几乎一家功能齐全的中国公司宣布已获得3亿美元的费用来加载$ trump，即使它没有从其经营的Tiktok商店中获得一美元的收入。

And none of this is happening in the open. Every move is being funnelled through tax havens like the British Virgin Islands, leaving Washington scrambling to understand the scale of influence being purchased through crypto.

这一切都没有公开发生。每一举一动都通过像英属维尔京群岛这样的避税天堂进行，使华盛顿争先恐后地了解通过加密货币购买的影响力规模。

China-linked tech company wants $300 million in Trump coin

与中国有联系的科技公司想要3亿美元的特朗普硬币

The company is called GD Culture Group, and it trades on the Nasdaq even though its filings show it has just eight employees and failed to generate any money last year. On Monday, the firm said it would use $300 million raised by a British Virgin Islands investor to buy Bitcoin and $TRUMP. The plan was later confirmed in a public SEC filing.

该公司被称为GD文化集团，即使其文件显示，它只有八名员工，并且去年未能赚钱。该公司周一表示，将使用英属维尔京群岛投资者筹集的3亿美元购买比特币和特朗普。该计划后来在SEC公共文件中得到了确认。

GD Culture Group is tied to Shanghai Xianzhui, a Chinese subsidiary that admitted in March that its business could be “influenced” by the Chinese government. That detail alone has sent red flags through the ethics community because this would be the first known example of a Chinese-connected company buying into Trump’s personal coin.

GD文化集团与中国子公司上海徐岛有联系，该公司在三月份承认其业务可能会受到中国政府的“影响”。仅此细节就通过道德社区发出了危险信号，因为这将是一家中国连接公司购买特朗普个人硬币的第一个已知例子。

To make matters even stranger, the coin buy announcement came just as Trump is negotiating whether TikTok should be banned in the United States. TikTok, of course, is owned by the Chinese government, and it’s the same app where GD Culture’s failing store operates. That means a struggling Chinese-tied firm is lining up to buy a president’s crypto, while he decides the future of the platform it relies on.

为了使事情变得陌生，硬币买入公告就在特朗普正在谈判是否应该在美国禁止Tiktok。当然，蒂克托克（Tiktok）归中国政府拥有，这是GD文化不满的商店运营的应用程序。这意味着一家苦苦挣扎的中国公司正在排队购买总统的加密货币，而他决定其所依赖的平台的未来。

Former House Ethics Committee chair Charles Dent said the situation was “completely out of bounds,” adding that these governments were “obviously” trying to get close to the president. The company itself didn’t respond to any questions.

前众议院道德委员会主席查尔斯·登特（Charles Dent）表示，这种情况“完全不在范围之内”，并补充说，这些政府“显然”试图与总统接近。该公司本身没有回答任何问题。

After the announcement, shares of GD Culture Group surged 12%, before dropping again. It’s still unclear if the company will follow through on the full purchase or how much money it actually received from the British Virgin Islands investor. The firm was already facing a Nasdaq delisting notice for failing to meet financial standards.

宣布后，GD文化集团的股票飙升了12％，然后再次下降。目前尚不清楚该公司是否会遵循全额购买，或者实际上从英属维尔京群岛投资者那里获得了多少钱。该公司已经面临着纳斯达克的出现通知，因为他们未能达到财务标准。

Senator Christopher Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, spent 20 minutes on the Senate floor on Tuesday discussing how all this money is going into the Trump family’s pockets.

来自康涅狄格州民主党的民主党参议员克里斯托弗·墨菲（Christopher Murphy）周二在参议院楼里度过了20分钟，讨论了所有这笔钱如何进入特朗普家族的口袋。

“I know Trump’s crypto scams can seem hard to understand,” said Murphy. “A foreign government is investing $2 billion in Trump’s coin to get favorable treatment from the Administration. A wild corruption.”

墨菲说：“我知道特朗普的加密骗局似乎很难理解。” “一个外国政府正在向特朗普的硬币投资20亿美元，以从政府那里获得有利的待遇。一种狂野的腐败。”

According to the Senator, the biggest chunk of money in $TRUMP is being invested by an entity linked to the United Arab Emirates. That same week, a Chinese subsidiary of a company listed on the Nasdaq announced it had secured $300 million to buy more of the token.

据参议员称，与阿拉伯联合酋长国有联系的实体投资了特朗普的最大资金。同一周，纳斯达克上市公司的一家中国子公司宣布已获得3亿美元购买更多令牌。

However, the full scope of foreign involvement in $TRUMP is still largely unknown. Most of these investments are being channeled through opaque offshore vehicles in the British Virgin Islands, making it difficult to identify the ultimate beneficiaries.

但是，外国参与$ trump的全部范围仍然在很大程度上未知。这些投资中的大多数都通过英属维尔京群岛不透明的海上车辆进行了传播，这使得很难确定最终的受益者。

Among the other foreign transactions detected so far is a large-scale purchase by a Gulf-based real estate company that has ties to the Qatari government. Additionally, a Mexico-based shipping and logistics company called Fr8Tech, which has been making efforts to expand its footprint in the U.S. market, pledged $20 million to invest in $TRUMP.

迄今为止检测到的其他外国交易中有一家与卡塔尔政府有联系的房地产公司的大规模购买。此外，一家名为FR8Tech的墨西哥运输和物流公司，该公司一直在努力扩大其在美国市场的占地面积，承诺向特朗普投资2000万美元。

Crypto analytics firm Nansen has identified several large buyers of $TRUMP in Mexico, Singapore, and Australia, and the president’s team is actively helping them, according to the Times.

据《泰晤士报》报道，加密分析公司Nansen在墨西哥，新加坡和澳大利亚确定了几家特朗普的大型买家，总统的团队正在积极帮助他们。

Last month, Trump’s camp announced that the top 220 coin buyers would get an invitation to a dinner at his Virginia golf club. That news caused another wave of buying, sending the coin into another round of frenzied trading.

上个月，特朗普的营地宣布，前220个硬币买家将在他的弗吉尼亚高尔夫俱乐部（Virginia Golf Club）邀请晚餐。该消息引起了另一波购买浪潮，将硬币送入另一轮疯狂的交易。

None of this money will be going to a bank account, which would be illegal. Foreign nationals can’t donate to political candidates or inaugural funds, according to federal law. But buying a coin isn’t covered by that law. That’s what makes Trump’s crypto business so powerful—it bypasses campaign finance law completely. It also explains why Trump has been dragging his feet when it comes to crypto regulation

这笔钱都不会去银行帐户，这是非法的。根据联邦法律，外国国民不能向政治候选人或就职基金捐款。但是购买硬币并不涵盖该法律。这就是使特朗普的加密业务如此强大的原因 - 它完全绕过了竞选财务法。这也解释了为什么特朗普在加密法规时一直拖着脚
