      Remember the last time he rug pulled a million people? It was during COVID and the rug was their lives. While other countries saw a fraction of the death relative to populations.

    It’s not a pump-n-dump this time. In my opinion, it’s a laundered bribe. The 800k victims were an unintended benefit.

    Oh no. The thing everyone said would happen has happened.

    Btw, only idiots put money in that currency thinking it was an investment. The true purpose of that currency was to disguise bribes.

    2 billion dollars / 800,000 people gives an average of 2,500 dollars per person. I’m going to venture a guess based on vibes that this was a more or less normal distribution and the median loss is close to the average loss. That’s not YUGE per person, but it would still chap my ass real good.

    I’m positive that the vast majority of these “people” are bots run by foreign governments. He launched this meme in 3 days before his inauguration, what else are we supposed to think. That $2 billion is mostly bribes with a f ew trumpets thrown in.
