Bloomberg's Zeke Faux went on @TheBulwark to sum up the most corrupt aspects of the Trump crypto regime for newbies. Nothing new for the 'heads but if you're still trying to figure this out it's worth watching. Maybe send it to a friend who doesn't understand this stuff.

Major bullet points:

* #JustinSun (Trump's new business partner and the most corrupt chinese guy in crypto)
* #Tether (which is partly owned by Commerce Secretary #HowardLutnick)

new article from #ZekeFaux in Bloomberg about the chairman of the #Trump transition team #HowardLutnick taking an ownership stake in "#Tether, the stablecoin used by drug traffickers, terrorists and scammers to move money around the world" and more specifically about $300 million in terrorist connected transactions:

> It turns out that particular crypto wallet was controlled by Sa’id al-Jamal, a financier of the #Houthi fighters attacking merchant ships in the Red Sea, according to the US Treasury Department... Still, he was able to use those crypto wallets to send and receive more than $300 million of Tether.
