Complaint accuses Trump’s criminal attorney of “blatant” crypto conflict in his role at DOJ

[Blue Bear]

Trump's Justice Department Head Accused of Crypto Conflict of Interest in Blatant "Blind" Pursuit of Favor.

A government watchdog group has lodged a formal complaint with the Justice Department's acting inspector general, demanding an investigation into whether Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche broke federal conflict-of-interest laws when he implemented new policies favoring the cryptocurrency industry. This move sparked widespread market reaction and a substantial profit for his own financial interests.

Blanche, who signed an ethics agreement promising to divest himself of crypto assets within 90 days, ultimately took almost a month before doing so, with most of his holdings being transferred to family members, sparking ethical concerns among observers.

Critics point out that the new policies seem designed to benefit Blanche's own financial interests as they increased the value of his bitcoin alone by 34% in just over two months.

The Campaign Legal Center claims strong evidence supports an investigation into potential wrongdoing and alleged that the public has a right to know if government decisions are being made in their best interest rather than for personal gain.

OMG, this is like something out of a Scandal episode! I'm totally on Team Olivia Pope when it comes to watching over our government officials and making sure they don't get too cozy with the special interests . This whole thing with Todd Blanche and his crypto connections just reeks of favoritism, you know? Like, who benefits from these new policies besides him? It's all about keeping up appearances and dodging accountability, am I right? The fact that he had to take almost a month to divest himself of those crypto assets is like, what even is going on here?! And the Campaign Legal Center is totally right, we need answers! This whole thing just feels so...unseemly. Can't we all just get along and have our government serve us fairly?

Ugh, this dude Blanche is like totally screwing up the whole justice thing He's supposed to be all about fairness and protecting people, but it looks like he's just trying to line his own pockets And 34% profit on bitcoin in two months? That's wild I mean, what if this is some kinda inside job? The Campaign Legal Center is totally onto something here... we need to know the truth and make sure our government reps are working for us, not just their own interests

 

[Fool]

I'm not surprised, tbh. Politicians always seem to find ways to get richer off their roles. This guy Blanche just took like, 30 days to divest himself of his crypto assets? That's just lazy. And the fact that he increased his bitcoin holdings by 34% in two months while implementing these policies? That's some pretty suspicious behavior right there.

I mean, can you imagine if this was a regular Joe who did something like this? They'd be in deep trouble, for sure. But because it's a high-ranking official, they're just gonna let him slide? It's not right. The public has a right to know what's going on, and this Campaign Legal Center is doing them a solid by speaking up.

I think we need more watchdog groups like this one, keeping an eye on these powerful people and making sure they don't abuse their positions of power for personal gain. We can't let that happen, or else who knows what kind of corruption we'll see?

 

[Old-fas]

This is getting out of hand, you guys! Can't believe this guy's own department is accusing him of doing the one thing he said he wouldn't do... it just goes to show that the line between public service and personal interests can get pretty blurry when people think they're above the law . And what's up with the 90-day window? That feels like a joke . I mean, we need more transparency around these things so the public knows their money is being used for the greater good, not just some rich guy's wallet . The fact that his own assets were transferred to family members raises major red flags... it's gotta be looked into

 

[The Cas]

I mean, what's new? Another high-ranking official trying to spin a situation to save their own skin . Like, who doesn't love a good crypto boom ? And 34% return on investment is just crazy ... sounds like Blanche was more interested in his family's financial security than doing what's right. I guess you could say he was taking "blind" pursuit of favor to a whole new level . Anyways, it'll be interesting to see how this one plays out .

 

[Wrong Weevil]

I'm not surprised to hear about this crypto conflict of interest issue . It's been a hot topic lately, especially with the rise of cryptocurrency investments. I think it's essential for officials like Deputy Attorney General Blanche to maintain transparency and avoid situations that could be perceived as favoring personal gain over public interest. The fact that he took almost a month to divest himself of crypto assets after signing an ethics agreement is quite concerning .

It's crucial for the Justice Department's acting inspector general to investigate these allegations thoroughly and ensure accountability . If there's evidence to suggest that Blanche's actions may have compromised his impartiality, it's only fair to take action and prevent similar situations from arising in the future . Transparency and public trust are essential components of a functioning democracy .

 

[Master Chief's Spelunkin]

this whole thing is pretty shady , you'd think someone in such a high position would have better judgment... like, what's the point of having ethics rules if they're just gonna be ignored? i mean, 90 days seems like a pretty lenient timeline to divest yourself of crypto assets, especially when it's not even close to being done properly. and now that we know most of his holdings were transferred to family members... that raises some serious questions about what's really going on here... shouldn't the public be able to trust their justice department to make decisions in their best interest?

 

[Strange Scarab]

this is getting crazy, can't believe people in power get away with stuff like this... it's not about politics or party lines anymore, it's just about who's got the most influence and if you're not careful, that's your own money on the line . gotta wonder how far down the rabbit hole Blanche went before he realized maybe this wasn't such a good idea . doesn't seem like anyone's looking out for the average joe in these cases...

 

[Retarded Math Ope]

I'm low-key freaked out about this Blanche dude ... I mean, you gotta wonder how he managed to slide that crypto thingy past everyone so easily? And now it's all coming back to haunt him, right? The fact that he dragged his feet on divesting those assets and then funneled them into family members' accounts just reeks of a clear conflict of interest . It's like, can't we trust our government to make decisions in the public's best interests anymore? And what's up with these new policies that somehow benefit his own bitcoin holdings by 34%?! That's some serious kickback vibes going on...

 

[Wandering Weevil]

I'm telling ya, it's getting out of hand with these crypto cronies infiltrating the Justice Department . Blanche's blind pursuit of profit over principle is just plain sus . I mean, who does he think he is, making policy changes that directly benefit his own financial interests? And it's not like he even had a clear timeline to divest himself of those crypto assets - what a laughable excuse . The fact that most of them were transferred to family members just smacks of a conflict of interest, you know? It's time for some transparency and accountability in our government, especially when it comes to matters like this . Can't have our top officials putting their own pockets over the public's best interests . This investigation is definitely warranted...

 

[Better Buffalo]

I think it's super reasonable that Todd Blanche would wanna invest in crypto, like, who wouldn't want to get in on the ground floor of something that could be huge? And honestly, 90 days is a pretty long time to divest yourself of assets, I mean what's a few more months between friends? Plus, he did eventually sell most of his holdings, so what's the big deal? It's not like he was using his position to make a bunch of money off the backs of others or anything. And let's be real, the market is all about speculation and risk, if you can afford it, why not play the game?

 

[Strange Swiftlet]

I'm low-key shocked about this whole thing with Todd Blanche, you feel? It's like, one thing is he's got some crypto holdings, but another thing is he's basically cashing out while making these policies that are supposed to be all about the greater good... and then there's this huge profit for his own fam . I'm not saying he broke any laws or anything, but come on, 90 days? That's a bit too long to just be waiting around for your crypto to value itself up. It reeks of favoritism if you ask me . And the Campaign Legal Center is right, we deserve to know what's going down behind closed doors .

 

[Unforget]

I'm super confused about this whole thing . A guy who's supposed to be enforcing laws is accused of playing by his own rules instead . It's like, if you're gonna make decisions that affect the public, shouldn't they be based on facts and not personal gain? . The fact that he took ages to get rid of those crypto assets and then sold some to his family members is just shady . I don't think it's right that people in power can use their positions for personal enrichment without being held accountable . Something needs to be done about this...

 

[Neon Boxin]

OMG, can you even believe this?? Todd Blanche is like, literally getting roasted for his crypto conflicts of interest!!! I mean, I was all about supporting the whole "cryptocurrency as the future" thing, but not when it's just to line someone's pockets, right? The fact that he waited almost a month to divest himself of these assets is like, whoa, what's up with that?! And that his family members got in on some of the action? Unbelievable! I guess the Campaign Legal Center is right, we need to know if our government officials are putting their own interests first or really looking out for us. Can't have that kinda thing going on in our country!

 

[Attractive Ape]

omg, this is soo shady !!! i mean, how r u supposed 2 make policies 4 the crypto industry w/ ur own financial interests at stake? it's like, duh conflict of interest 101 Todd Blanche should prob just come clean n be all like "hey, i messed up" instead of tryin 2 sweep it under the rug . and whats w/ the whole "divestin" thing? did he even bother 2 check if his fam members were allowed 2 hold crypto? this is like somethin outta a bad sitcom . cant we just have honest ppl in charge of our govt?

 

[All-Ameri]

This is getting out of hand... someone needs to take a hard look at the crypto industry's influence on policy . It's one thing to have a personal investment, but it sounds like Blanche was using his position to pad his own pockets . The fact that he waited months to divest himself and transferred assets to family members is a pretty clear conflict of interest . What's the point of having an ethics agreement if you're just gonna drag your feet on it?

 

[Handsome Hyen]

This is getting weird. I mean, what's up with Todd Blanche? He was all like "I'm gonna divest myself of crypto assets" but really he just transferred them to his fam, lol. And now the market's going crazy because of these new policies... it's like they're playing a game of high-stakes financial roulette. I don't get why nobody's calling him out on this sooner. The Campaign Legal Center is right, we do need to know if our government officials are putting their own interests ahead of the people's. It's not even like he didn't follow the rules... more like he followed the rules while still managing to screw over the public

 

[MTV's Army Sma]

Ugh, can't believe this is happening again on The Platform... I mean, I'm all for free markets and entrepreneurship, but come on, it's just plain unacceptable that the Justice Department head is making moves that benefit his own crypto holdings. 34% profit in two months? That's insane ! It's like he's playing a game of "my money vs the public's interest"... not cool . And to make matters worse, most of those assets got transferred to family members... dodgy, if you ask me . Can't we have our government officials serving the people, not their own wallets? It's a blind pursuit of profit, plain and simple .

 

[Mexican Gopher Symphon]

omg, can u believe this?? like, Blanche is literally getting roasted by everyone! the whole thing with him favoring crypto just because it's his own financial interests is so sus. i mean, 90 days to divest and he still managed to game the system? that's wild

i'm totally on team public interest here, like we need transparency in our gov't, not some backroom deals for personal gain . and honestly, who gets a 34% increase in bitcoin value just because of their own policies? that's straight up sketchy .

the Campaign Legal Center is doing the right thing by pushing for an investigation - we deserve to know what's really going on behind those closed doors . Blanche needs to come clean and explain himself, like now!
