DeepSummary
The episode discusses allegations that Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, is involved in a cryptocurrency scheme called the DJT coin, which was promoted and then dumped, potentially amounting to a 'pump and dump' scam. Martin Shkreli, the infamous 'Pharma Bro' who served time in prison for fraud, has claimed to have evidence linking Barron Trump to the creation and promotion of this cryptocurrency.
The host, Ben Meiselas, expresses skepticism about the claims, noting that Melania Trump, Barron's mother, has not issued any denials, which is unusual when it comes to her son. Meiselas speculates about various scenarios, including Shkreli lying, being duped by someone impersonating Barron, or Barron actually being involved and causing chaos within the Trump family.
The episode also includes a clip of Shkreli claiming to have worked with Barron on the DJT coin and mentioning details about their alleged collaboration. However, Meiselas emphasizes the need for caution and clarifies that the allegations remain unproven, as Shkreli's credibility is questionable due to his criminal history.

Top Episodes Quotes
- “Over the course of the project, we basically debated, how do you do this? What is the best way to do it? We spoke with Ansem. You guys may know Ansem. We spoke with him about five or six times. I don't think he's gonna deny that. We initially thought that having 70% of the supply in Trump's hands was going to make sense. I'm not going to get anything because I'm not adding value. My last name is not Trump. This is Trump's value.“ by Martin Shkreli
- “Shakeli elaborated during a live ex space event earlier in the week, on Wednesday, saying that he had originally been approached by a friend of Barron's and that Trump's son was on the 40 to 50 person team behind the coin. The so called farmer bro said he had formed a friendship with Baron and even advised him and where to go to college.“ by Ben Meiselas
- “Shakeli is lying about it all and will be in serious trouble. Remember, he's a felon. So him being involved, saying he's involved in this and then being involved in a pump and dump as a felon can make him in a lot of trouble. A lot of criminal trouble potentially. If this was all a lie.“ by Ben Meiselas
