That’s more like a bribe, and they receive favors in return

We’ll make it happen when it benefits a billionaire.

More like pay for play. A bribe is not something he would announce.

It’s unfortunate that those who create the laws see this and accept it.

10 million in XRP? What does 5 million do for her campaign? Now that it’s worth 2 million, she might keep it as personal money but 10k in XRP really doesn’t hold much weight right now.

@Clove
Love your comment

10 million for them is like 10 bucks to the average earner lol
