Every man in the White House is benefiting himself first.

Look at Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick. In his previous job as CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, he became deeply involved with stablecoin cryptocurrency Tether. Supposedly Cantor Fitzgerald holds close to a hundred billion dollars of funds for Tether, but this has never been verified by an audit — the only confirmation is from Lutnick himself.

In his White House job, he has worked hard to make it easier for companies like Tether to operate in the US with no oversight. And why wouldn’t he? As the sole guarantor of Tether’s credibility, he’s probably making billions from them.
