Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
The Trump family (Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.) partnered with a little-known company called Alt5 Sigma (now AI Financial Corp.) to provide easier access to a Trump-backed cryptocurrency. The deal generated approximately $500 million for the Trump family. However, less than 10 months later, the company's share price has fallen over 90%, and it has warned investors it may not be able to stay in business much longer. A rebranding effort has failed to revive investor interest.
