In the shadowed corridors of American power, where truth is often mislaid like a lost coin, Texas Rep. Brandon Gill emergesāapparently trying to rewrite the rules of transparencyāor at least delay themāconcerning his dealings in the mysterious realm of Bitcoin. A man perhaps convinced that the laws of honesty are mere suggestions, filed late disclosures of up to $500,000 in Bitcoin purchases, with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Because nothing screams integrity like a little clandestine trading, right? š¤
Gill, a first-term lawmaker known for his eccentric proposal to stamp Donald Trumpās visage on the $100 bill, reports only two Bitcoin tradesāeach valued between $100,001 and $250,000āmade on January 29 and February 27. Clearly, timing is everything, unless you are trying to master the art of last-minute revelations, like a magician pulling rabbits out of a hatāexcept the rabbits are dollars, and the hat is a law that ostensibly keeps us honest. š§āāļø
Both trades sickeningly missed the 45-day deadline set by the STOCK Act, a law designed perhaps to prevent the sort of insider tricks that would make even a seasoned gambler blush. His late January purchase coincided suspiciously close to Trumpās executive order extolling digital assets, and the February trade was made just before Trump’s announcement of a “strategic Bitcoin reserve.” Coincidence? Or a masterful game of political chessāplayed with Bitcoin? š§
Bitcoinās value hovered around $102,000 and $85,000 at those moments, just enough to make a rookie investor weep tears of envy. Today, Bitcoin dances above $105,000, whispering promises of wealthāand perhaps promising even more trouble for those who dare whisper secrets in the shadows. šø
Gill reveals more Bitcoinābecause one slip isnāt enough for the grand performance
In a twist fit for a tragicomedy, Gill disclosed two additional Bitcoin purchases from Mayāone for up to $250,000 and another for up to $100,000āboth filed punctually, as if trying to earn a semblance of credibility after his earlier tardiness. Beyond crypto, he also reports holds in ETFs and money market funds, as if to assure us he’s not entirely lost in the wilderness of greed. š¦
The penalty for such late filings? A mere $200āa slap on the wrist for a man paddling into treacherous waters where even the sharks laugh at the smallness of the fine. Investment firm Quiver Quantitative called it a ājoke,ā a comment echoing the silent laughter of those who know the game is riggedāand that the law is merely a suggestion. š
CryptoMoon, the disinterested entity of journalistic obligation, failed to reach Gillās office for comment. Perhaps they too are hiding secrets behind closed doors, away from the prying eyes of the public, or simply amused at the irony of it all.
Gill, a member of the formidable Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sits amid the labyrinth of bureaucracyāan actor in the grand play of power, where transparency is but a ghostly whisper. A staunch crypto supporter, he asserts that cryptocurrency is an essential part of the monetary cosmosāthough we wonder if he truly believes it or merely parrots the party line. And he sponsors legislation to shine brighter light onto nonprofit contributorsābecause, surely, the truth must shine, even if behind a few curtains of duplicity. š
Deep ties to the elite: Gillās grand dance with Trumpās circle
It is perhaps no surprise that Gillās ties to Trumpās inner sanctum run deepāheās the son-in-law of Dinesh DāSouza, a man pardoned in 2018 after a conviction rooted in campaign finance. Donors from DāSouza Media flood Gillās coffers as if to remind usātruth and money go hand in hand in this grand circus. Meanwhile, Trump himself faces scrutiny over his own crypto endeavorsāraising questions about conflicts, profits, and perhaps personal gains right out of the ancient playbook of deception. š
Our hero, Gill, joins a parade of lawmakersāRaskin, Evans, Dunnāeach late to reveal their secrets, as if the clock is a mere suggestion. Meanwhile, a bipartisan effort rises to ban these clandestine trades, an effort perhaps born of frustrationāan attempt to put brakes on the wild, unregulated ride of political greed.
