President Donald Trump addressed top investors in his family’s cryptocurrency operation on Thursday night from a podium emblazoned with the presidential seal in apparent violation of federal law. The prominent appearance of the seal as Trump pitched his $TRUMP meme coin at an exclusive dinner at one of his golf courses made it appear that the federal government was somehow linked to the private business.

Sun, known for his showy publicity stunts, has spent more than $20 million on the $TRUMP meme coin, making him one of its largest holders.
