220个人每人付了100万美元与唐纳德·特朗普共进晚餐

近几个月来有很多机会让富人购买唐纳德·特朗普的机会

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

总统通过涉及他的模因硬币$特朗普的比赛将他的付费计划带到了新的高度。

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.

就在两周前，总统向他的加密货币粉丝提出了一项诱人的建议：他的加密货币的前220名所有者将能够在华盛顿特区外的高尔夫球场上享用黑色领带的晚餐，然后第二天进行白宫的私人游览。在获奖者中，将邀请前25名与特朗普举行私人招待会。

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.

民主党人和政府道德监管机构立即警告说，抽奖是一个明显的计划，允许外国利益以前所未有的方式购买与总统的机会。 （例如，最近的PAC筹款人受法律限制在美国捐助者身上。）周一比赛结束时，是时候看看谁（可能）（可能）骗总统。

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.

正如看门狗警告的那样，外国资本主导了比赛，该比赛在排行榜上展示了谁拥有特朗普硬币最多的$ $ trump硬币，并且在计算获胜者的两个因素上，这两个因素。彭博社的一项分析表明，前25个钱包中有19个表明，它们几乎肯定是由美国以外的人拥有的。

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.”

仅凭名字，就很难确定谁是“哇”或“天空”之类的顶级帐户。其他人则不难消除，例如特朗普硬币的第一持有人，一个名为“太阳”的帐户。

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.

该帐户使用的加密钱包的多次分析返回到一家名为Tron的公司的基于香港的加密企业家，该公司一直是特朗普的主要支持者，在总统的另一个加密货币风险投资中投资了7500万美元。

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.

虽然Sun的代表拒绝对他的特朗普购买$ 1,860万美元发表评论。在特朗普宣布晚餐之后，大约有450万美元出现了。

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.

他在特朗普的加密货币世界上的投资似乎已经取得了回报，证券和交易委员会因涉嫌出售未注册的证券而暂停了针对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，它一直是抽奖活动中少数几个公开追求的帐户之一。该钱包由新加坡的一家名为Memecore的加密货币公司所有，该公司一直在X上撰写“目标是在$ trump Legardboard上＃1”。该公司是一个加密网络，将自己描述为支持模因硬币和整个在线文化，也一直在寻求贡献，要求人们将其$ Trump硬币捐赠给竞赛中，以换取奖金。

“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?”

该公司首席业务官Cherry Hsu在一份声明中说：“我们一直在观看特朗普模因硬币项目，并引起了人们的兴趣。”她补充说，Memecore在听说晚餐后决定进行约1800万美元的“象征性购买”。她拒绝指出谁将参加该公司，但他们希望问他：“您是模因还是一个模因？”

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）是波士顿一支摇滚乐队的前网球教练和吉他手，十年前回到了他的祖国澳大利亚国家，找到了几家加密货币风险，在此过程中积累了数百万美元。尽管他承认自己在一月份购买了大量$特朗普硬币，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.

他对《纽约时报》说：“能够见到总统会很棒。”如果他与特朗普或以加密货币为中心的儿子埃里克（Eric）有一些时间，他希望讨论他的政策如何进一步支持该行业。他说：“这是我不会期望的事情，即使我有机会做到这一点。”

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（该家族企业启动了特朗普的其他加密货币USD1）宣布，一位名叫Ogle的匿名专家将成为帮助网络安全的顾问。

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创立了一些加密货币公司，但主要是通过从破裂进入加密交易所的黑客中恢复了数百万美元的声誉。他在X上的一份声明中写道，晚餐引起了批评，因为它参与了加密货币社区：

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.

人们曾经是并且将继续留下时间和精力来弄清楚加密货币的运作方式并因此而做得很好。人们对特朗普上任时会感到不高兴。人们会并且将继续害怕改变和新的思维方式，并将批评和攻击那些相信并试图推动新范式的人。

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.

似乎与Ogle相关的帐户有大约325万美元的特朗普硬币，足以让他在总统的私人接待处赢得一席之地。
