Foreign nationals, let alone foreign governments, are not allowed to give money to political campaigns in the United States. Actually illegal. Bill Clinton got in trouble for it
If you can prove that an NFT scheme was foreign campaign money laundering in court, people can go to jail.
For sure. But of course dude tried a coup on live tv and we are having trouble getting the justice system to hold him to account. So getting proof of the NFT scheme that I outlined as a hypothetical is probably going to be harder.
Partially because the coup is coming from inside the house. Representatives, senators, and SCOTUS seats already planted.
In court:
How does one go about proving that money laundering occurred? Genuinely curious because I know it's illegal. I guess you'd need to catch someone admitting that they did it?
It's not campaign money. It's the "honest fruits of labor" that he "earned" by selling products. Even though every normal person can see that he's a fucking grifter, maga morons can't. So, now he has plausible deniability for any money "earned" in this "honest day's work".
Don’t forget the Trump Hotel during his presidency that took huge “bookings” from foreign nationals during his presidency. The “Law and Order” party naturally jumped all over this as a violation of the Constitution…, oh wait.
