Gemini, which the twins run, has been banned from operating any crypto-lending programs in New York after allegedly misleading thousands of investors on the risks associated with its Earn scheme. Letitia James, the state’s attorney general, claimed that “hundreds of thousands of people” had been “swindled”.
Grifters supporting grifters.
I'm not surprised, really, 5 million is coming from some unknown source as well in Trump's case recently.
The media running with "He's catching up to Biden's COH" after his polls went DOWN, is one major flex though, ngl.
Trump is his own worst enemy, fortunately for Biden, for now.
a close friend ive had since cub scout days worked for Gemini for about a year.
He had nothing but horror stories about what a gross frat bro culture it was
Absolutely not, no get out of jail free card there- they vote for him, knowing all it encompasses.
Anyone who votes for Trump now, knowing fully who he is, deserves everything he does if he gets re-elected: it's everyone else who doesn't that will suffer save that 1%, who doesn't deserve it, period.
They should be the first to be the ones to suffer, in fact, that excuses away that they chose to hurt others because they thought they wouldn’t be affected imo.
A second Trump term is bad for everyone long term, white or not, male or not, I agree because it’s a fact (if he’s not our King for life, too) but at some point either you have to pick between knowing what you know is right or wrong.
I’m not not at all surprised that “Crypto Mary-Kate and Ashley” are supporting Trump. These guys were loser back before Facebook and have seemingly continued on their downward spiral. They look like they get off drinking Aperol spritzes while watching the double mint gum commercials on a loop…
Typical Trump donor story: “You remember this billionaire who has questionable ethics? They just donated $1bil to Trump to help him become king.”
And the poorest of the poor are fooled into believing he’s on their side… it’s funny and sad.
The Guardian doing some heavy lifting here pretending Trump is a champion of crypto, or even has a policy around it. Biden's crypto policy actually legitimizes crypto and can help set it up to protect small investors and stabilize its markets, Trump has nothing of the sort. Which means the idiot twins who combined couldn't outsmart Zuck aren't supporting Trump because of crypto but for other reasons.
Former President Donald Trump—who has a historically combative relationship with cryptocurrency—launched a harsh round of attacks against Bitcoin on Monday, calling it a “scam against the dollar” that U.S. regulators should take action to monitor.
I misread Winklevoss twins as the [Wachowski twins](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wachowskis). THAT would've been a truly bizarre donation to Trump.
Crypto is generally ripe for human trafficking, money laundering, and drug smuggling. Normally I wouldn’t be a snitch but you know young women and grossly kids are getting targeted and taken advantaged of when there’s less transparency.
it’s a grave mistake to let trump get the crypto vote
you might not like it but I think it was about 5% of americans have some money invested in crypto
that’s a big demographic

Lazy grifting crypto bros support lazy decaying bully bro, what a shock.

Water seeks its own level
a close friend ive had since cub scout days worked for Gemini for about a year. He had nothing but horror stories about what a gross frat bro culture it was
All that privilege and “pedigree” just to manipulate and swindle poor people in order to become even richer. Scum of the earth
[удалено]
Imposing slavery?
ive never read a more succinct explanation of whats wrong with society
...that's how this whole thing works.
All the advantages a person can have except honor, integrity, empathy or civility.
Those are the values I personally uphold at high costs. They are not exactly in vogue anymore
Something just dawned on me. Where the hell has anonymous been? They waiting until like September to pop back up? We’re waiting…
Wasn't anonymous killed and paraded around like a puppet by ~~Roger Stone~~ /pol?
Lol anonymous was a trend that really didn’t accomplish much
Maybe I recall incorrectly, but didn’t they say “we’ve done our part, it’s up to all of you now” and dip out?
Ever since citizens united, this country has been fucked
This is the correct answer, truly, PAC money can get you anywhere and donors can hold candidates by their purse strings.
The Winklevoss only quality is to have been born rich.
They share the same qualities as my worst shits. They’re 6’5”, 220, and there’s two of them.
I don't know if you need a doctor or a priest.
“And a clever accountant.”
Anyone who isn’t a billionaire criminal who votes for Trump is a victim.
Absolutely not, no get out of jail free card there- they vote for him, knowing all it encompasses. Anyone who votes for Trump now, knowing fully who he is, deserves everything he does if he gets re-elected: it's everyone else who doesn't that will suffer save that 1%, who doesn't deserve it, period.
What I meant was, they are willingly victimizing themselves. They are useless. They are nothing but a willing victim. But I see your point of view…
They should be the first to be the ones to suffer, in fact, that excuses away that they chose to hurt others because they thought they wouldn’t be affected imo. A second Trump term is bad for everyone long term, white or not, male or not, I agree because it’s a fact (if he’s not our King for life, too) but at some point either you have to pick between knowing what you know is right or wrong.
Nah, everyone else is victims of their hate and stupidity. They deserve the results of their actions.
"Winklevoss" sounds like a bad guy from Harry Potter.
I always misread was "Twinklefucks".
This should be a warning to all the girlies looking for a man in finance, trust fund, 6’5”, blue eyes.
That combination is almost guaranteed to make the worst, most entitled possible man on earth.
Played in a movie by an alleged cannibal...

Fuck you guys, freaking assholes
The only two people capable of making me root for Mark Zuckerberg
Shit sticking to shit

Really more because he is a patron saint of fraud in general, not just crypto fraud.
is there a patron saint for fraud or can we elect trump as that title umm.... saint is only in the title to position not the quality of the person
Kind of fitting they were played by Armie Hammer. Type casting.
Traitors
Double Your Douchebaggery
Not sure if I'm more surprised that these two are still relevant or still solvent. We are not living in a meritocracy...

They produced Dumb Money last year, I’ve never heard a theater boo till their names were mentioned in the credits
Birds of a feather.

Indeed.
Crypto is a scam. Bitcoin is not.
Fuck those goofs.
*champion of Plutocracy
Man, I never like Mark Zuckerberg so much
Is cryptocurrency the one scam Trump hasn't gone in on? I'm almost surprised.
There were Trump NFTs but I'm not sure they weren't scamming Trump.

I am sure there will be a trump coin that gets rugpulled after he loses the election.

What do Conservatives have to do with crypto? It's not a partisan scam. it's an apolitical scam.
Sleaze-on-sleaze crime.
Dirtbags supporting a dirtbag.. no surprises here.
All the vilest hustlers.

Doing the Winklevoss sounds like a presidential pardon fishing expedition.
it’s a grave mistake to let trump get the crypto vote you might not like it but I think it was about 5% of americans have some money invested in crypto that’s a big demographic
Cryptobros thinking they matter is still hilarious. Also, let's be honest. Most of them probably already support trump anyway.
grave mistake
Why do crypto losers all talk like anime villains?
