The crypto conmen got conned by the grifter in chief. Poetic justice at work 🙂

I find it funny that conmen think there’s some kind of solidarity pact between them.
Used to be “honor among thieves” or something like that but these guys are so much lower than thieves
it blows my mind that so many wealthy people are so incredibly fucking stupid
In my experience, extreme wealth is a sign of one or more of: inherited wealth, lack of morality, lack of empathy, lack of humility, lack of self-reflection, or luck. In most cases these people are simply so broken that they’ll justify exploiting other people to get what they want in ways that people with morals simply refuse to.
Intelligence isn’t a major factor.
Also they’re willing to spend millions of dollars on a dinner like this because what’s the downside? Losing that money won’t affect their lifestyle in any way. Worst-case scenario, they get a story out of it. Best-case scenario, they get face time with the most powerful person on the planet and maybe a sympathetic ear if they get in trouble with the law (since all of them are privately breaking the law in some way).
Despite what rich people want you to believe you don’t actually have to be that smart to be rich. You just have to be lucky and ruthless. Being lucky enough to be born into the right family for example has a disproportionately bigger impact to becoming wealthy than your personal achievements. What you lack in luck or smarts you make up by being ruthless and steal and exploit. Your employees, your community, your government and so on.
People are acting like this man got conned or like they’re stupid. This was a bribe for a get out of jail free card. If you’re rich and make your money in black market ways this is the best possible decision you can make. Your name is on a list in front of the president even if you didn’t meet him. That means a pardon in the future.
Well, it is kid of stupid to complain publicly the way that this guy is doing. He’s wasting the little good-will from Trump that he did buy.
good-will from Trump
LOL
As in Trump saying “Good — will you be paying me again?”
“Influencer” is the load bearing word in the title.
When exactly did society decide to give the dumbest people on earth, all the money?
The only difference between a Wal-Mart steak and a Trump Steak™ is the 200% markup.
Iirc Trump steaks are frozen. Walmart steaks are quite good and never frozen.
Only 200%? I’d expect at least 10×.
Have you seen beef prices in the US? The markup is only 150%
JFC, $360k? Most 25 year olds would pay off their loans or try to buy a house with that.
Nicholas Pinto, a 25-year-old social media influencer, accumulated more than $360,000 in President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency to attend an “unforgettable Gala DINNER” with the commander-in-chief. The food, though, was forgettable. “Trash,” Pinto texted Fortune during the banquet. “Walmart steak, man.”
Someone said it perfectly already: " If you bow to Trump he will kick you in the teeth"

An influencer is not “the elite”.
