Sun的激动情绪可以理解。多年来，由于可能毁掉他事业的联邦调查，他一直未踏足美国。现在，在购买了价值超过9000万美元的两种Trump家族加密货币后，他作为总统的客人和商业伙伴回来了。 Onestop was JeffBezos’rocket company.Sun,who’dwon atriptospace fouryears earlierwitha$28 million bid,could finally makepreparationstoblast off.Another wasaBitcoinconference inLas Vegas,where heposedforphotos with one ofthe president’ssonsand aUS senator from Tennessee whowassteering key crypto legislation.InWashingtonhe dropped inon one ofTrump’scryptoadvisers athisoffice near theWhiteHouseand presented him with areplica ofapieceofconceptual art:aduct-taped banana.Theoriginal,by theartist Maurizio Cattelan,hadcostSun$6.2 million atSotheby’s. 其中一站是杰夫·贝佐斯的火箭公司。四年前以2800万美元中标赢得太空之旅的孙，终于可以开始为发射做准备。另一站是拉斯维加斯的一场比特币大会，他在那里与总统的一个儿子以及来自田纳西州、正在推动关键加密货币立法的一位美国参议员合影。在华盛顿，他到白宫附近的一位特朗普加密顾问办公室拜访，并送给他一件概念艺术的复制品：一根用胶带粘着的香蕉。原作是艺术家Maurizio Cattelan的作品，孙曾在苏富比以620万美元购得。 Thehighlight cameatadinnerattheTrump National Golf Club inVirginiahosted by the president himself.Trump had auctioned offaccesstowhoever bought themost ofhismemecoin.Sun took theNo.1spot,with about$15 million worth.On the street outside,dozensofprotesters waved signs intherain.“Ihope you choke onyoursteak,”one yelled.Sun walked in,wearing abow tie,under anumbrellaheld by an assistant.Histhree cameramen followed,recordingthemoment forsocial media.Sun’s prize was aTrumpgoldwatch and achance todeliver aspeech afterthepresident. 高潮发生在弗吉尼亚的特朗普国家高尔夫俱乐部举行的一次晚宴上，由总统本人主持。特朗普将与他最热门的膜币购买者会面的机会拍卖出去。Sun获得了第一名，出价约1500万美元。外面的街道上，几十名抗议者在雨中挥舞标语牌。“我希望你被牛排噎死，”有人喊道。Sun打着伞，在一名助理的保护下，系着领结走了进去。他的三名摄像师紧随其后，为社交媒体记录下这一刻。Sun的奖品是一块特朗普金表，以及在总统之后发表演讲的机会。 Sunspoke haltingly for afew minutes about Trump’s embrace ofhisindustryasmore than 200 other memecoin investors informalwearlookedon.“Basically,like,100 days ago they goaftercrypto people,like,everywhere,”Sun said,and laughed awkwardly.“WhenIcometotheUnited States,everybody’s going tocome here.” 孙某结结巴巴地讲了几分钟，谈到特朗普对他所从事行业的接纳，此时200多名身着正装的其他山寨币投资者在一旁观望。“基本上，像，大约100天前他们到处打压加密从业者，”孙某说着，尴尬地笑了笑。“当我来到美国，大家都会来这里。” CriticsofSun’s relationship with Trump,including DemocraticSenatorElizabeth Warren and MSNBC host Chris Hayes,havefocusedon how corrupt they say itlooks.White HousespokespersonAnna Kellyresponds that Trump“only acts inthebestinterestsofthe American public”and has no conflicts ofinterest.ButSunisawalkingbillboard advertising how thepresident seesnothingwrong with hisfamily businesses accepting money fromthosewho want something from him. 批评者包括民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦和MSNBC主持人克里斯·海耶斯等人，指出孙与特朗普的关系看起来多么腐败。白宫发言人安娜·凯利回应称，特朗普“只为美国公众的最佳利益行事”，并且没有利益冲 突。但孙就是一个随行的广告牌，展示总统认为他的家族企业接受那些想从他那里获得好处的人掏钱没有任何不妥。 Sunwas facing afraud lawsuit from theUS Securities and ExchangeCommission.A few months afterhe started investing inTrump’scryptocurrencies,the case was put on hold pending theoutcome ofsettlementtalks.(The SEC declined tocomment forthis story.)Althoughboth sides deny any impropriety,never before has anindividualseeking aUS president’s goodwill channeled somuchmoneytothepresident’s family.As aforeign citizen—he holdsapassportfrom St.Kitts and Nevis—Sun isbarred from donating toUSpoliticalcampaigns.Nonetheless,he has generated more money fortheTrumps through crypto than they make in ayear from Mar-a-Lago.And he’s pledged tobuy an additional$100 million ofTrumpmemecoins. 孙正面临美国证券交易委员会的一起欺诈诉讼。在他开始投资特朗普加密货币几个月后，该案被搁置，等待和解谈判的结果。（SEC对本报道拒绝置评。）尽管双方都否认有任何不当行为，但从未有过一个寻求美国总统好感的个人向总统家族输送如此多资金的情况。作为一名外国公民——他持有圣基茨和尼维斯护照——孙被禁止向美国政治活动捐款。尽管如此，他通过加密货币为特朗普家族创造的收入，比他们一年从Mar-a-Lago获得的还要多。他还承诺将额外购买1亿美元的特朗普迷因币。 ButSun has amore ambitious agenda.The blockchain network hefounded,Tron,has become aglobal payments network that letsanyonetransfer US dollars across borders cheaply,quickly andanonymously,using dollar-backed cryptocurrencies calledstablecoins.Tron isalready moving$600 billion amonth,morethanfourtimes what PayPal Holdings Inc.does.And
