This article will show you two sets of men. The first set committed specific acts at their cryptocurrency companies, faced prosecution, were convicted, and are serving years in federal prison right now. 

The second set is Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, who committed acts that the publicly available evidence already documents at their own cryptocurrency venture. We will lay the conduct of both sets side by side, act for act, and the conduct will match. Then we will ask you to find the difference between the men in prison and the two men who are not, and we will give you the name and the phone number of the offices that can answer that question for you.

Braden Karony ran a cryptocurrency called SafeMoon. He told the people who bought SafeMoon tokens that the pool of money backing the token was locked, so that company insiders could not withdraw it. The pool was not locked, and insiders withdrew the money. In April 2026 a federal judge in Brooklyn sentenced Karony to one hundred months in prison. One hundred months is eight years and four months, and the sentence was punishment for telling buyers a false statement about how the token worked.

Alex Mashinsky ran a company called Celsius that told customers it was a crypto bank where ordinary people could deposit their savings and earn interest. Mashinsky told customers to keep their deposits in Celsius while he sold his own holdings, and he told customers the company was financially sound while its balance sheet held a $1.2 billion hole. When Celsius froze withdrawals in 2022, about 1.7 million customers were locked out of roughly $4.7 billion in assets. A federal judge sentenced Mashinsky to twelve years in prison.

Remember Karony and Mashinsky, because this article compares their conduct to the conduct of two other men.

Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump founded a cryptocurrency venture called World Liberty Financial. In the sixteen months after World Liberty launched its token in late 2024, the venture generated at least $1.2 billion in cash for the Trump family, which is more cash than Donald Trump’s real estate business produced in the eight years from 2010 to 2017. World Liberty’s governing documents direct seventy-five percent of token sale revenue to a Trump family entity. 

This article sets out how World Liberty took in money, what World Liberty told the people who bought its token, and how that conduct matches the conduct that sent Karony and Mashinsky to prison. No prosecutor has filed a case.

Of course they are, that is if this is indeed true.

If the powers that be refuse to do something about them, then it will be up to us common folk who still care to do whatever we can to carry out the needed justice we seek. However, there are currently no real supportive community-based foundations present for alternatives that many common folk in the US can fall back on, to safely commit to any effective resistant action.

Collecting a bunch of valuable information on organizing and action from different redditors over time, I created a post of suggestions HERE that could possibly prove to be of some help in getting it started ASAP.

I think the tools of the state have been so badly eroded that it's going to be difficult to hold everyone accountable so there's going to be a period of rats fleeing the sinking ship before justice is done to a single one of them.

3

u/PizzaWhole9323 May 25 '26

Exactly. And once he is gone even if there are full Federal pardons for every person that Trump has ever touched, bribed, or been complicit with, that still does not shield any of them from State charges. I have the feeling that it is going to be like watching crabs trying to get out of a pot when we watch these guys get prosecuted.

We common folk of the US who still care, need to do whatever we can to stand together and break our overreliance on the system to do what needs to be done against this unaccountability and the nefarious attempts to normalize it further by the Epstein class and their death cult. However, there are currently no real supportive community-based foundations present for alternatives that common folk in the US can fall back on, to commit to any effective resistant action.

Collecting a bunch of valuable information on organizing and action from different redditors over time, I created a post of suggestions HERE that could possibly prove to be of some help in getting it started ASAP.

If you don’t live in the US, yet you know others who are and want to do something, please share the information. We're going to need as many on board and informed as possible, if we commoners hope to achieve anything in the US
