Remember the story about that guy who paid millions for a banana taped to a canvas at some art auction? That guy, who the SEC has charged with fraud in a crypto scheme, is linked to ... Donald Trump.
He just bought some crypto tokens that are linked to a company owned by Trump that guarantee Trump gets 18 million. The tokens were worthless and Trumps part of the deal was worth zero until the guy bought the tokens. He can't do anything with them per the contract unless the SEC changes their stance, so the sole purpose of him buying the tokens was to give Donald Trump 18 million
