（华盛顿） - 尽管白宫一再声称唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）周四晚上的晚会为他的加密货币硬币的顶级持有人与他的公职无关

韩国加密投资者和企业家Sangrok Oh周五告诉美国广播公司新闻，他和其他顶级投资者受邀参观白宫

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.

白宫说，唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统在周四晚上为他的加密货币硬币的顶级持有人举行了与他的正式职责无关。

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

但是，其中一些投资者周五下午访问了白宫，他们描述的是特殊的VIP活动。

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.

韩国加密投资者兼企业家桑格罗克（Sangrok Oh）周五对美国广播公司（ABC News）表示，他和其他顶级投资者被邀请在周五下午参观白宫，尽管尚不清楚特朗普本人是否会见他们。

“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.

哦说：“因此，我们将参观白宫，同时谈论加密工业和加密货币的未来。”

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.

周四晚上在特朗普的华盛顿地区高尔夫俱乐部举行的黑色领带赛事参加了大约200名加密货币交易员，其中包括许多来自海外的贸易商，他们通过一场邀请特朗普的模因硬币的顶级投资者获得了承认，至少有一些资金直接流入了特朗普家族的库存中。

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.

批评家将晚会炸毁为“付费”活动，其中将数百万美元投入特朗普的加密货币的投资者可以与总统特殊接触。

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.

最高特朗普硬币投资者参观白宫的消息似乎与白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特（Karoline Leavitt）周四的主张相矛盾，即总统正在以个人身份参加加密货币晚会，而且由于晚餐没有在白宫举行，这与他的正式职责是不同的。

“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.”

莱维特周四说：“总统在他的个人时间参加了[晚餐]。” “这不是白宫晚餐。它不是在白宫举行的。”

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

白宫未在周五立即回应ABC新闻的评论请求。

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.

位于新加坡的区块链创业公司Memecore的高管Cherry Hsu说，该公司的创始人（公开称为“ Ice”）也于周五下午被邀请到白宫。据比赛排行榜称，Memecore在比赛中以超过100万美元的价格获得了第二名。

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.”

周五晚些时候，中国爆发大亨贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun）和特朗普的模因硬币中的顶级投资者发布了他的白宫巡回演唱会的高度生产的视频，并在X上写道：“很荣幸能被邀请参观@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.

除了他对特朗普硬币的数百万美元投资外，Sun还向World Liberty Financial投资了7500万美元，这是另一个由特朗普支持的加密货币投资。投资后一个月，特朗普政府领导下的SEC律师移居涉嫌针对Sun的欺诈案。

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.

本月早些时候，特朗普模因硬币的网站在比赛中为25个模因硬币持有人做了“特殊的VIP白宫之旅”，作为比赛的一部分 - 但截至上周，该网站仅表示将安排“特殊的VIP巡回演出”，而无需提及白宫。

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.”

该网站还包括一个免责声明，称这次旅行是由Fight Fight Fight LLC安排的，总统本人将作为“客人”出现。
