Don’t forget Facebook, even before Elon bought X they were happy to get financed by the Trump campaign and got him elected in 2016.

In the chaos, one trader profited ~$150 million from well-timed shorts. With an offshore trading platform, potentially offshore trader, and no regulators apparently interested in crypto enforcement, the possibility that someone was trading on White House inside info will likely go unexamined.
![Insider trading allegations
In the aftermath, analysts noticed a wallet that had deposited millions into the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange before the crash, taking a heavily leveraged short position on bitcoin and ether. When the market plummeted, they profited to the tune of more than $150 million. The remarkable timing led some researchers and institutions to question whether the trader had inside information from the White House about upcoming tariff announcements, and the blockchain analytics company Arkham labeled the wallet “Trump insider whale” on their platform.10
Some researchers suggested that the wallet might belong to Garrett Jin, the former CEO of BitForex, a Hong Kong-based exchange that shut down in early 2024 amid exit-scam allegations [W3IGG]. Without initially addressing whether he controlled the wallet, Jin posted to Twitter that “I have no connection with the Trump family or Donald Trump Jr. — this isn’t insider trading”, but then later deleted the tweet. Other crypto sleuths have questioned whether Jin really controlled the wallet or is merely connected to the person who does.11 Jin later tweeted, “The fund isn’t mine — it’s my clients’.”12](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:exrxvyu6bpoym6mbnctke5tn/bafkreie4ryw56nkzmgyy6xtrfx2wyjh665ij5wkizl3udphs4sp3msbxry@jpeg)

That was a green card holder, not a citizen. And yeah in theory a green card holder is supposed to have their card on their person at all times.
