SaintsInDome2006 439 Posted Friday at 06:33 PM Quote Justin Sun, a Chinese-born crypto mogul who, until recently, was facing civil fraud charges in the United States, was not only among those in attendance — but was lauded as the top holder of Trump’s meme coin. His last name sat atop a poster displayed at the dinner naming the “Top 220 $TRUMP dinner winners,” showing he had made the biggest investment, according to videos of the event viewed by CNN. According to a video Sun posted to Instagram, his investment amounted to 1,319,904.266 in “time weighted $TRUMP holdings,” which are currently valued at about $18 million. Sun also posted a video declaring he was awarded a “Trump Golden Tourbillion” watch. MSN CNN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Honcho 5,178 Posted Friday at 06:35 PM Quote AI Overview Learn more It's difficult to provide an exact number of libraries worth $400 million because there's no single, definitive list that tracks library valuations. However, it's reasonable to assume that a very small number of libraries would have such a high value, likely limited to the most prestigious academic or specialized research libraries, or libraries with extensive collections of rare and valuable items, or those with significant endowment and real estate value. Here's why it's difficult to get an accurate count and some factors that would contribute to a high library value: Well, he will have one of the most valuable libraries in the country.

Sure. I keep trying to reply. Best Comer could find Hunter’s cousin Sara paid $40K to Joe while Joe was a private citizen, & it was about a convoluted contract out of China, not Ukraine.

Mike Honcho 5,178 Posted 6 hours ago 42 minutes ago, SaintsInDome2006 said: Trump pardons man who defrauded a nursing home of millions. - His mother attended a million $$$ per plate fundraising event recently. Quote It came just in the nick of time for Mr. Walczak, sparing him from having to pay nearly $4.4 million in restitution and from reporting to prison for an 18-month sentence that had been handed down just 12 days earlier. A judge had justified the incarceration by declaring that there “is not a get-out-of-jail-free card” for the rich. The pardon, however, indicated otherwise. The case of Ms. Fago and Mr. Walczak is the latest example of the president’s willingness to use his clemency powers to reward allies who advance his political causes, and to punish his enemies. Mr. Walczak, 55, joined his mother’s nursing home business after dropping out of college, eventually becoming chief executive. After she sold the company in 2007, they invested $18 million in a new nursing home venture based in South Florida, where they lived a luxurious lifestyle. By 2011, prosecutors said, Mr. Walczak had stopped paying employment taxes. Between 2016 and 2019, they said, he withheld more than $10 million from the paychecks of the nurses, doctors and others who worked at his facilities under the pretext of using it for their Social Security, Medicare and federal income taxes. Instead, he used some of the money to buy a $2 million yacht and to pay for travel and purchases at high-end retailers, including Bergdorf Goodman and Cartier, prosecutors said. He was charged in February 2023 with 13 counts of tax crimes. I'm sure these are just more wins for the I voted for this crowd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
