As the questioning of witnesses continued this morning at former President Donald Trump trial in New York where he is accused of “numerous acts of fraud and misrepresentation” to inflate Trump’s net worth while lowering his tax burden, Judge Arthur Engoron issued an order outlining the next steps to dissolve Trump’s companies.

Last week, Engoron found that Trump and his adult sons used fraudulent documents to conduct business and ordered the cancellation of his business certificates. Trump appealed that ruling yesterday.

In today’s order, Engoron asks the defendants to provide a list of “entities controlled or beneficially owned by Donald J. Trump” and the other co-defendants to the Hon. Barbara S. Jones, the independent monitor overseeing Trump’s business activities. Trump is also required to notify Jones of any news business applications or changes to preexisting entities.

    Crypto bro, here. You can avoid the IRS.

    Trump, maybe not but someone he hired could technically funnel cash through privacy coins like Monero to hide it elsewhere.

    Trump is also very likely to own this eth address.

    It’s fairly possible that Trump is hiding decent amounts of cash on blockchains. Almost guaranteed, actually.

      That wouldn’t surprise me since WSB and The_Donald used an identical playbook to grift an identical demographic and it also wouldn’t surprise me if the same group of sleazy people seeded both of them.
