It's tough to find people who bought in to Trump projects who are willing to speak — especially on the record — so kudos to the Reuters team on this.
While it's true that the deep-pocketed "investors" in Trump's crypto schemes are often looking for benefits besides a return on their investment, this article does an excellent job highlighting that most people who bought in are not millionaires looking for pardons and regulatory relief.
Striking graphic in this latest Reuters piece, which finds that while President Trump and his family have profited by at least $2.3 billion since he retook the presidency, their more than a million investors have suffered $2.3 billion in net losses.
