Anthony Scaramucci, the former White House Communications Director, stated on Thursday that the alleged fraudulent practices under President Donald Trump, including his cryptocurrency ventures, will one day be held accountable.
‘There Will Be A Reckoning’
In an X post, Scaramucci accused the Trump administration of enabling activities such as insider trading, questionable cryptocurrency schemes, international bribes, donor contracts, and paid pardons.
“Trump’s grift will be caught. It always gets caught,” Scaramucci said. “There will be a reckoning for all of it.”
The money manager stated that all violations and weaknesses in the system are well-documented, and should the U.S. get a “reform-based president” after 2028, they know exactly what to do.
“Trump has been so brazen about all of it that he’s inadvertently shown us exactly what needs to be fixed,” he added.
Scaramucci’s criticism of Trump is nothing new. Last month, he called for Trump’s removal, citing his mental health. He argued that institutional failures and political silence are enabling Trump’s dangerous behavior.
The “Grift” In Question
Several prominent voices, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Economist Peter Schiff, have demanded an investigation into insider trading within the Trump camp, citing suspicious trades linked to his Iran and tariff announcements.
Warren also cast aspersions on Trump’s approval of Paramount Global Inc.’s $8 billion merger with Skydance last year, suggesting it may have involved a “big fat bribe.“
Major corporate donations to Trump’s ambitious ballroom project have also raised ethical questions, with a Coinbase executive acknowledging that the donation was made to maintain "good relations" with White House.
Intense scrutiny surrounds the Trump family’s cryptocurrency ventures as well, which have reportedly netted them $2.3 billion since Trump took office again.
Warren has labeled these activities as “corruption” and a “massive” conflict of interest. Scaramucci stated that the ventures, especially the Official Trump (CRYPTO: TRUMP) memecoin, have undermined efforts to pass essential cryptocurrency legislation.
The White House didn’t immediately return Benzinga’s request for comment.
