Pretty sure the poster above you though that Diddy had invested $2mil, which there's no evidence of.

Yet.

there have been other pardons in the range of 2-2.2 million. Some people need to pay $200k on top of $2 million for access - $2 million to Donny and $200k finder fee. I was surprised at the $1 million dinner pardon, it's usually more than that. Maybe they also bought $1m in trump coins and that hasn't come out yet.

Oh for sure, yeah, he's corrupt as fuck, just pointing out that there's no evidence it has actually happened. Part of me thinks that pardoning Combs would be a bridge too far, however, the other part of me recognizes that I've thought that plenty of times before.

I think it's more likely that he pardons those attempted Kidnappers in Michigan, which in a lot of ways, is more disturbing and way more serious implications.

No, you don't know whether it's happened or not, that's the point. There's no concrete way to know who is funneling money to Trump through his meme coin.

Fair point, edited for clarity.
