Trump appears to be imposing capital controls on immigrants. And manipulating mortgage markets. And unilaterally restricting purchases of single-family homes. And opening offshore bank accounts to hold the proceeds from stolen assets.
Trump Is Making China Great Again
America’s friends and trading partners are running into the arms of our adversaries. What a mess.

Dutton wants to bring back Pezzullo … the guy who helped hand $532M to Paladin (a company registered to a beach shack) & over $1.5B to Canstruct (no trading history) for offshore detention.
Add bribery, visa scams, sex trafficking links, & it’s a rerun of the Dutton disaster.

Exactly right & a big part of the problem is the creation of offshore worlds--including Epstein's island--where a small group of people can grow richer & more powerful by violating the laws, trading secrets (from insider trading opportunities to extortion) & using all that $ to sabotage democracy.

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)
