It would be embarrassing for him, if he had the ability to feel shame. It's astounding that a former POTUS would act this way. But given his pedigree and the brand he's built, it's entirely consistent.
I'm still horrified that we elected this person as president.

A great many of these companies appear to have been the means through which MTG raised many millions in small $ donations of $200 or less too. Maybe we should rethink these States incorporation laws?
Great piece. still misses one key point - in addition to grifting his rubes, the NFT's make a perfect money-laundering operation in themselves because they accept crypto-currency payments and only require an email address as identification, ie they don't require identification and anyone on the planet, from say China, Russia, or Saudi can buy the NFTs without it ever being traced back to the source of the funds.
I absolutely cannot believe the toxicity of this meglomaniacal narcissist. As Scott Monty says, I am horrified he was ever in our WH, let alone have access to (and feel he could steal) top secret documents and the nuclear codes. This wretched individual doesn't deserve to be a dog catcher.
Money laundering scheme. Payments from Saudis and Putin and others can flow at anytime through the secondary market fee. Just trade a pile of cards back and forth between shell owners to send money to Trump.
Anytime people are paying way more than its really worth for something, its a red flag for Money laundering.
NFT is shady, but the real issue is the source of $$ buying the NFT's. Gimme a break, 250+ wallets bought more than 45 NFT's each? Saudi and Russian money flowing in. MAGA's may be gullible, but they are piss poor too. Payment for those nuclear secrets ... https://dune.com/domo/trump-digital-trading-cards
I thought he has some kind of CPA type person overseeing his stuff now from the NYC lawsuit? Of course none of this is surprising at all. He's as dirty as the come, nothing every is legal or above board. thanks for the info...
National Registered Agents, Inc. (the registered agent for CIC) registered and incorporated a variety of entities ... including an Arizona computer security firm 🤔
Could that particular firm be the infamous Cyber Ninjas??
This grift and all the other schemes are so convoluted that I am having difficulty following it, but I suppose that's exactly the point. Hard to trace, hard to prosecute.

Thanks so much for great research but also acting so quickly.

Excellent research. Well done--I wish that some of his gullible supporters would read this.
On another note, is it just me or does he look (in these NFT photos) just like Vigo the Carpathian, from Ghostbusters II?
Shell companies need to be outlawed.

I want to be shocked. I truly want to be shocked.
But nothing with the trumps shocks me any longer. And that’s not good.

Brilliantly researched, presented and incredibly quickly. Thank you, Kurt!
Great work!
