Trump’s Crypto Dinner Guests Admit They’re Trying to Buy Him Off
“It’s kind of a fund-raiser” for Mr. Trump, Korean crypto executive Sangrok Oh and another dinner attendee, told the Times. “And he’ll always be good to his sponsors.”
The dinner was held at Trump’s private golf club in northern Virginia on Thursday evening for the top 220 holders of the president’s memcoin cryptocurrency—after an auction that brought in $147,586,796.41. Protesters lined the entrance to the building, chanting “shame, shame, shame!” and other holding up signs while attendees arrived.
The event was promoted as the “most EXCLUSIVE INVITATION in the world,” according to an email. While the top 220 buyers got into the gala, the top 25 buyers received much more personal, “ultra-exclusive private VIP reception” and “Special VIP Tour” with Trump, allowing them unfettered access to the president.
