The Crypto Conspiracy
Catch up on all 4-episodes of our exclusive investigating Donald Trump and Elon Musk's scheme to manipulate the price of Crypto to gain total control of the financial system.
When we began investigating the connections between Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and cryptocurrency markets, we discovered what may be the most sophisticated financial corruption scheme in modern history. What started as questions about suspicious Bitcoin price movements has revealed a pattern of market manipulation, manufactured crises, and unprecedented coordination between the world's richest man, the American president, and Vladimir Putin.
Our four-part investigation traces how billions of dollars flowed to a select few at the expense of hundreds of thousands of retail investors. This isn't just about money – it's about power, and control of the entire financial sector.
PART 1: MUSK'S BILLION-DOLLAR BITCOIN PAYDAY
ZEV SHALEV · JANUARY 16, 2025
We expose Elon Musk and Donald Trump's scheme to profit from crypto appointments and policies. The plan is elegantly simple: Trump makes pro-crypto announcements, Bitcoin surges, and insiders cash in.
Six key takeaways:
Musk's companies gained over $600 million when Bitcoin surged to $108,000 (actually we have since discovered his crypto payday was $1.3 Bn.)
Trump's December 5th crypto announcements triggered precisely timed price jumps
Trump launched World Liberty Financial the same day he appointed his Crypto Czar
Putin's fingerprints appear all over the scheme's architecture
Musk sits in a dangerous leverage trap that only rising crypto can solve
David Sacks began promoting Russian narratives after Putin-Musk contacts
PART 2: MANUFACTURED CHAOS
ZEV SHALEV · JANUARY 23, 202
A whistleblower from inside Musk's X platform reveals how the social media giant was transformed into a propaganda machine that amplifies specific narratives to drive Bitcoin prices higher.
"When Elon Musk took over, everything changed. What started as a social media company became something much darker."
We identify a clear pattern across multiple crises: the UnitedHealth CEO assassination, Cybertruck explosion, New Orleans incident, and LA wildfires all drove crypto prices higher through a systematic process:
Event occurs
X amplifies specific narrative
Traditional systems appear chaotic
Crypto presented as "safe haven"
Prices surge
Key players profit
PART 3: CRYPTO AND CHAOS
ZEV SHALEV WITH OLGA LAUTMAN · JANUARY 30, 202
With expert analysis from Olga Lautman, we connect the cryptocurrency scheme to the broader geopolitical realignment happening under the Trump administration.
Russia has repositioned itself in the crypto world – legalizing mining and using cryptocurrency to avoid Western sanctions while every American agency that could investigate market manipulation has been targeted for dismantling.
The Trump and Melania meme coins created a stunning wealth transfer: just 31 wallets gained $680 million while 810,000 investors lost a collective $2 billion.
As Lautman notes: "This isn't just about making money – it's about reshaping the global financial system to benefit authoritarian regimes."
PART 4: THE ULTIMATE PUMP AND DUMP
ZEV SHALEV WITH PETER SCHIFF · FEBRUARY 6, 202
Economist Peter Schiff joins us to expose what he calls "the biggest crypto rug pull of all time" as we uncover three distinct pump-and-dump operations:
DECEMBER 5TH: While Americans were distracted by the UnitedHealth CEO assassination, Trump's pro-crypto announcements sent Bitcoin from $70,000 to $108,000.
INAUGURATION: The Trump and Melania meme coins transferred $675 Million from retail investors to insiders. Trump reportedly earned over $100 million in fees alone.
RESERVE ANNOUNCEMENT: Trump's March 2nd "U.S. crypto strategic reserve" post on Truth Social temporarily sent Bitcoin to $95,000.
The endgame appears to be a US-backed cryptocurrency reserve that would use taxpayer money to purchase billions in cryptocurrency – creating the ultimate exit opportunity for those already holding massive positions.
