Shut the frick up and pay the Ticketmaster fees. If Trump had them quash the lawsuit then there's a good reason for it. He knows more than you.

Not many people are defending this settlement in the thread, are they.

Give La's AG credit. She didn't fold. Unfortunately, the idiot Lynn Fitch in Mississippi caved two days after Trump did.

Follow the money....especially Jr. and Erik.....there was a play somewhere here.



In March 2023, under the Biden administration, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed suit against Sun for selling unregistered securities related to the sale and promotion of Tron (TRX) and BitTorrent (BTT) tokens. The SEC alleged that Sun and his companies had engaged in fraudulent activities such as wash trading in the secondary market for TRX in order to raise its price.[37][38][39] In addition, eight celebrities, including Akon, Ne-Yo, Austin Mahone, Soulja Boy, Lindsay Lohan, Jake Paul and Lil Yachty, were charged with promoting these cryptocurrencies without disclosing that they were sponsored. All of the defendants except Soulja Boy and Austin Mahone settled their cases, making payments in excess of $400,000 without admitting liability.[40][41][37]

The SEC dropped its lawsuit against Sun in February 2025, following Donald Trump's inauguration as president. News media sources noted that Sun had purchased $75 million worth of tokens from the Trump-associated World Liberty Financial prior to the SEC dropping the case.[42][43][44] According to the Wall Street Journal, the decision "surprised" a number of SEC officials, who were "highly confident in winning the case". Prior to dropping the case, Justin Sun reportedly avoided travel to the United States to avoid being arrested.[7]

As per usual lately, Trump is a neutered cuckold who is beholden to the swamp.
Or, stated differently, he traded some personal gain for waiving the suit.

I don't even really understand the issue. Artists like Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo seem to have mostly solved for this by having tickets trade for what they are worth the FIRST TIME, instead of artificially cheap.

I’m go with no. Trump can break any campaign promise and even do a 180 on it and he would defend it and call those that do liberals.

That isn’t what happened. You should read the entire OP instead of your standard knee jerk OMB.

You want to keep this train going?

Look into this administration's dealings with Walmart and PepsiCo and their price fixing that drives prices up everywhere but WalMart and removes real competition. There was a chance to effect real, noticeable change for consumers, but Trump and the boys nixed that opportunity as soon as they got in office.
