The German state of Saxonia still has over 50k #Bitcoin (given current fictional valuation almost 3 billion EUR) which were seized from an illegal video streaming platform (the course of Bitcoin was a lot lower back then).

Republicans keep winning elections because they, unlike Democrats, are willing to hold their noses and vote for their own. You think evangelicals like that Trump fucked a porn star while his wife was home caring for their newborn and then covertly paid her to keep quiet? Of course not. You think Blacks for Trump or Women for Trump like that he's a racist and a rapist. Wrong again.
And yet, all these people are going to show up to the polls and vote for Orange Felon, and they're going to encourage everyone they know to do the same. And as a result, Trump stands a very good chance of winning.
Democrats, on the other hand . . . well, too many of them are willing to let the whole house burn down rather than vote for someone because he doesn't tick every box.

"The other teams come from suburban districts, some offering aeronautical engineering programs. Others have parents who are engineers or have time and resources to take them on weekend drone excursions.
The Brockton kids speak multiple languages and have impressive GPAs, but they don’t have those built-in advantages. Quite the opposite. Two live in foster homes." https://www.wgbh.org/news/education-news/2024-06-24/brockton-high-students-fight-for-their-futures-at-americas-most-violent-high-school #droneracing
