It's also true that there will be so much of this kind of thing - fraud on a completely new scale - that our underfunded media and our shattered attention spans might find it hard to cope. People are already used to the next administration's corruption and it's not Jan 20 yet
Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story
The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million
Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

Our democracy depends on a well-informed public. Local journalism is a critical tool to defend democratic values, build trust, and empower communities. The question is not whether to support local journalism, but how swiftly we can act to do so. democracyfund.org/idea/why-fun... #localnews
Why Funders Must Support Local News Before, During and After the Election
To safeguard our democracy, funders cannot wait until the next election cycle to fund and support local news.
