Investors in a Melania Trump-themed cryptocurrency that was promoted by the first lady are suing its makers for fraud.
The first lady’s name and the specific meme coin she plugged are part of a revised version of the lawsuit — first filed in April and already amended once — that the plaintiffs sought permission to file this week.
The allegedly burned investors are not accusing Melania Trump of unlawful activity, and she is not named as a defendant. They claim instead that she was used as “window dressing” in the ploy to bilk buyers.
But in accusing her husband of corruption earlier this year over his family’s building its crypto empire while the president steers policy around the industry, congressional Democrats called out the first lady’s promotion of the cryptocurrency named after her, a meme coin dubbed $MELANIA that soon flopped.
As WIRED reports, the plaintiffs asked the judge this week for permission to file an updated version of their ongoing lawsuit accusing Benjamin Chow and Hayden Davis, two men who cofounded crypto-based companies, of leading a pump-and-dump scheme that fraudulently misrepresented the value of numerous cryptocurrencies — including $MELANIA and $LIBRA, a cryptocurrency promoted by Trump-supporting Argentina President Javier Milei.
On Tuesday, the plaintiffs sought the court’s permission to file yet another amended complaint, based on alleged information provided by an anonymous whistleblower. With Chow acting as the “commander,” the pair launched, pumped, and dumped at least 15 crypto coins, the proposed second amended complaint alleges, including $MELANIA. The scheme allegedly inflicted millions of dollars in losses on unwitting investors. Trump, who is not a named defendant in the lawsuit, was used as “window dressing for a crime engineered by Meteora and Kelsier,” the proposed document alleged. The filing further states that the plaintiffs do not allege that Trump or Milei “operated the scheme.”
The White House, Chow and Davis didn’t respond to MSNBC’s requests for comment Friday.
Trump hasn’t said much in response to either the corruption allegations from Democrats or grumbling from some in the crypto realm that he and his family are giving the industry a bad name. Asked about his coin shortly after its announcement, the president said: “I don’t know much about it other than I launched it. I heard it was very successful.”
The first lady endorsed $MELANIA with a post on X at its launch around her husband’s inauguration in January, helping prices jump as high as $12.95 per coin. Earlier this month, she reposted the company’s “Into the Future” slogan featuring an image of herself.
Regardless of the nature of her involvement with $MELANIA — which was available for under a dime a coin as of Friday — the ethics of her hyping a meme coin from her perch as first lady clearly run afoul of norms.
At minimum, it feels safe to assume that if former first ladies Jill Biden or Michelle Obama were in any way tied to allegations of crypto-grifting, the story would be blasted across conservative media endlessly.
And yet, when it comes to Melania Trump, there seems to be an obvious double standard.

WALLINGFORD, Conn. — It’s been a banner week for the CT Lottery, which awarded a combined $1.25 million to four different prize winners in recent days.
Lottery officials announced the winnings in a press release on Friday, detailing the unique circumstances around each victory.

The most notable prize was awarded to a Simsbury man, who claimed a $1 million Powerball prize. The winner discovered he matched the white balls the night before his 60th birthday.
“It was hard to keep a straight face when I scanned the ticket at the store,” he told CT Lottery officials. “It was pure luck.”

The man purchased the winning ticket via quick pick on the day of the Aug. 30 drawing in hopes of winning what was at the time a $1.1 billion jackpot. The ticket was purchased at the Pride on Hopmeadow Street in Simsbury.
When he claimed his money this week, the man said he has no immediate plans on how he’ll spend it. However, he noted that he is a regular lottery player and will continue to participate.
“Winning is a myth to those who don’t play,” he said.

The CT Lottery reported on Friday that a Waterbury man won a $50,000 prize playing Powerball, when his quick pick delivered. The man told lottery officials he typically buys his tickets at one of two specific locations.
“I think about winning while getting the ticket,” he said, as his vision became reality.
After taking some time to enjoy his victory, the man plans to save some of the money and consider renovating his home.
He bought the ticket at Super Wines & Liquors on West Main Street in Cheshire. Moving forward, the winner said he will keep playing the lottery with more confidence.

According to CT Lottery officials, an Oakdale man who has been playing the lottery for more than four decades won a $100,000 top prize through his favorite game. He was reportedly stunned and shocked by his victory.

After learning he won, the man ran into his roommate’s room to share the news. Now, he’ll look to spend the winnings to buy a “sorely needed” car. Of course, he will continue playing the lottery in the future.
The man purchased the ticket at Preston General Store on Route 165 in Preston. For selling the winning ticket, the business will receive a $1,000 bonus.
The CT Lottery did not announce if any of the other locations that sold winning tickets will be getting a bonus. 

A New Jersey woman was visiting her mother in Connecticut recently when she scored a $100,000 Cash5 win. The woman told lottery officials that her mother asked her to buy the ticket for fun, and she chose the quick pick option.
The woman bought the ticket at the 7/11 on New Britain Avenue in Newington for the Oct. 22 drawing. With the winnings, the New Jersey resident will buy her mother a ticket to Poland to visit family, as she hasn’t been back to see relatives in 20 years.
