    Takes a minute for the bribe to wend through the crypto network, no?

      Depends if they were using Lightning network or having to buy Solana OrangeCoin?

    Maybe he didn't have enough crypto left to buy sufficient Trump Coin?

Same judge who recently ordered the unsealing of the Epstein grand jury records.

Being banned from transacting cryptocurrency seems overly harsh. Like how Samy Kamkar was banned from using the internet. You can't really live a normal life without internet access anymore.

    You can live a normal life without trading cryptocurrencies, that much is certain.

    It seems like it could become overly harsh.

    Probably not in his lifetime.
