You probably know Pokemon Cards are nearly impossible to buy at retail prices over the last year. Cue GME, buying insane amounts of products and selling them at a 100-125% markup over MSRP. A $27 booster Bundle gets sold for $60 inside Gamestop. These products and preorders and launches are ALWAYS being heavily bought because they are one of the only locations parent and addicted gamblers can buy sealed products directly from a store.

Whenever I went into Gamestop in Q2 people were always buying sealed packs. One memorable experience involves a 70+ year old man purchasing $300 in sealed pokemon cards and trying to figure out to how buy the Chaos Rising midnight release drop later that night.

As if that wasn't enough the Powerpacks Slot Machine from GameStop also prints money for GME. Gamblers can spend between $25 to $5k to buy a surprise graded pokemon card. The 5k degens give on average about - $1k-$2k to the house and have a small chance at getting a $50k card. But wait these online slots can be bought with a credit card and quickly withdrawn for cash to your checking account.

Perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise to see the top 2 panels of the GameStop website dedicated to Pokemon

With the 30th anniversary set releasing soon and expected to be insanely popular due to the huge amount of possible cards to collect. Superstonk isn't ready for the remainder of Q3.

If you weren't living under a rock in 2025 you probably remember crypto.com unanimously deciding to "unburn" and give themselves 70B in CRO tokens. Well it later came out part of that was to bribe Trump family by giving them Billions in CRO for them to make the "worlds largest CRO treasury company". Yep.... Unfortunately that was really a thing.

Welp... eventually it came out that unburn was partially to facilitate a bribe in which CDC would give Trump fam a sh*tload of CRO and buy Trump Media stock and exchange CRO would be the pioneer token for Truth Social. Well after the announcement Kris took to X to make an incredibly long explanation "of the deal" and did a whole shtick about Trump being the soon-to be largest holder of CRO.

Welp that whole shtick just fell apart today as Trump Family formally announced they were backing out of the deal with CDC...

So that whole 70B CRO unburn that CDC spearheaded to get into bed with the US Presidents family. Well that was all for nothing and CDC can continue to dump on CRO bagholders who will get absolutely nothing in return.

I mean other than crypto.com now dumping CRO to pursue "a marketing relationship" with truth Social by buying ad space...

RIP to the CRO holders.

To Learn about the first crypto.com scam where CDC stole over 99% of CRO tokens you can read this:

The first crypto.com scam was worse than you realize. They STOLE over 99% of all tokens from Monaco holders. No that's not a typo they stole over 99% of CRO tokens.

Obviously this is nothing compared to their unrealized loss currently sitting at $10.6B

John Oliver on Trumps many sketchy Crypto actions.

From TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins to multiple Trump Family Crypto transactions that look like quid pro quo which enriched the Trump family probably at least 1 Billion and appears to have got another party something in return from pardons to government action.
