Trump Family Rakes In Millions From Crypto Investments Amid Investor Losses
Payday lenders and used car sellers often steer customers into costly contracts they barely understand. This is an example of predatory lending, where low-income borrowers are targeted with high-interest loans.
The problem has worsened since the Trump administration took office in June 2021. Donald Trump expressed skepticism about Bitcoin, calling it a 'scam' during an interview on Fox Business Network.
However, his views have changed dramatically over the past five years. Now, he promises to make America the 'crypto capital of the world.' His family is also heavily invested in crypto, with reports suggesting they've made $520 million from token sales last year.
The Trump-controlled interests made these profits while their buyers lost money. About two-thirds of investors in his meme coins, such as $TRUMP and $MELANIA, have seen significant losses.
