Trump's Crypto Empire Accused of Being Linked to White House Scam
Actor and author Ben McKenzie has renewed his criticism of the cryptocurrency industry, targeting President Donald Trump's growing involvement in digital assets. According to McKenzie, Trump's crypto empire is a Ponzi scheme linked to the White House.
McKenzie made these allegations on July 28, 2026, when he criticized Trump's increasing investment in cryptocurrencies. He emphasized that the industry has been plagued by scams and deceit, with many individuals losing their life savings.
The crypto empire in question refers to a series of investments and ventures led by Trump, which have been accused of being Ponzi schemes. A Ponzi scheme is a type of investment scam where returns are paid to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors, rather than from profit earned.
