It is wrong for people in power to take advantage of their position to enrich themselves.

It is wrong for people in power to accept deals that enrich them in exchange for changing policy, enforcement, or in exchange for a pardon.

It is wrong for people in power to specifically modify regulations, policy, and enforcement to protect the activities that enrich them.

Justin Sun's investments in World Liberty Financial came shortly before the SEC suspended his case.

Binance wants a Trump partnership and a pardon for CZ, report

Reportedly, Changpeng Zhao and Binance sought a deal with the Trump family that would involve them working with Binance US and Zhao receiving a pardon. 

Zhao denies this, of course, though he also notes he would be happy to receive a pardon, if one is forthcoming.

World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency project where a Trump-affiliated firm receives 75% of the revenue, has reportedly shopped around a deal where it will invest in projects that invest in its token. This, of course, has also been denied.

Meanwhile, this same firm has been acquiring assets like Wrapped Bitcoin, which could benefit from Trump's other policies, including his Bitcoin Reserve.

Elsewhere, the TRUMP memecoin has made the president many millions of dollars, and has provided a convenient tool for anyone who wants to enrich the president.

At the same time, Trump has reportedly been seeking donations to the Trump Presidential Library from business leaders, of up to $5 million, for them to meet with him at his Mar-a-Lago home. 

Also, Trump gutted the Southern District of New York (some of the best white-collar crime prosecutors in the world) and ended enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. 

Truly blatant.
