President Donald Trump’s Mimecoin Top 220 owners met at the President’s golf course in Virginia yesterday for an exclusive dinner and a blessed gift.
Participants spent a total of $148 million for a “ultra-exclusive VIP reception with the President.” This was a potential opportunity for Crypto Industry supporters and critics to discuss crypto policy with the president.
The crowd included many foreign crypto executives and influencers, otherwise they would not have access to the US president, raising questions about corruption and foreign influence.
Concerns grew even more when White House spokesman Caroline Leavitt refused to publish the list of attendees.
However, some attendees spoke to the press and took them to social media to talk about dinner. Here are some:
Justin San
Tron founder Justin Sun was the largest playing card token holder in the gala and reportedly enough to win the special watch featured at a special ceremony.
Sun’s presence at the event was particularly controversial. Last year he faced a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over “orchestration of unregistered offers and sales, manipulation transactions and illegal advertising of cryptocurrency securities.”
The SEC called for a reprieve in late February on Trump’s inauguration and the 180-person approach to regulating codes.
Outside of the Crypto Dinner, Sun posted on May 21 that she spent the week in Washington, DC, “a meaningful conversation that will help shape the next chapter of the future of blockchain.”
Kane Warwick
Kain Warwick, founder of Crypto Exchange operator Ifinex, told the New York Times on May 12 that he was at the event after raising enough Trump to beat the top 25 investors on the leaderboard.
Warwick said he wanted to shoot the president, or someone on his team, to meet with the code, especially the distributed finances (defi).
“If you assume that there are 10 people in the Trump team and 10 people there, you have one in 15 people and you’re having a conversation with one of them,” he said.
Vincent Liu
Vincent Liu, Crypto Trading’s Chief Investment Officer, VC and market making company Kronos Research, attended the event, posting photos of the menu and a short speech from Trump.
Liu wrote: “By simply holding a Trump token, individuals have an unprecedented opportunity to meet the President of the United States.”
He previously told the Cointelegraph, “The decision to win the (Trump) token was not political. It was based on identifying early momentum, cultural relevance and potential market catalysts.”

His company said “alpha,” that is, “menus” is the “menu” that is exclusive or difficult information that could move through the market.
Lamar Odom
Two-time National Basketball Association champion Lamar Odom was also present. While many other crypto entrepreneurs in the audience were focused on policy, Odom used news from his attendees to block his own memo coin, Odom.
Odom released his memokine a week before dinner on May 14th. An anti-Dijon-themed memo coin (Odom had a public battle with substance addiction) was published on the Solana blockchain.
The coin itself had a 20% “Trump Dinner Program” staking scheme, allowing Trump owners to wager coins on Odom’s projects. On the surface, he can take part in a dinner event and receive Odom’s airdrop in return. The Odom itself holds 5% of all Odoms.
Sanglock ah
Sangrok Oh, CEO of Hyperiem, a Seoul-based cryptocurrency management company based in Hyperiem, was the 13th largest Trump holder, including tokens over $3 million, according to the Staits Times.
Ah, The New York Times said he expects to arrive in a batch of red “Crypto’s amazing” hats to hand over dinner and speak directly to the president. “It’s kind of a fundraiser (…) and he’s always good for his sponsor.”
OH was critical of the slow progress in regulating cryptos in the countries where his company operates.
Anonymous Participants
In addition to crypto executives and sports stars, the event also pointed out several anonymous or pseudonymous crypto traders and entrepreneurs present.
Among them was “Ice,” the co-founder of Singapore’s crypto company Memecore. Cherry HSU, the company’s chief business development officer, told Sherwood News that Trump’s rise “represents the power of memes that influence culture, awareness and movement.
Trump’s own cybersecurity advisor to the World Liberty Financial Crypto Enterprise and co-founder of Blockchain Ecosystem Adhesive was also involved. Ogle said he’s more than anything else, and that he didn’t personally support Trump. “I hope it’s fun – and I hope they serve McDonald’s.”
Another anonymous attendee was “Cryptoo Bear,” a crypto trader who posts primarily in Japanese and occasionally a news reporter. Cryptoo Bear did not make any political statements about the event. I mainly posted about stolen goods and food. They said they had been promised a photo shoot with the president, but it didn’t pan out.
Dinner “guest” throughout the Picket line
Outside the country club, US senators and former staff members attended the event as part of the protest.
Bloomberg reported that the protesters cried out “Shame!” And the participants, “I hope you suffocate at your dinner!” Critics of the event widely consider it a clear example of corruption within Washington and the Trump administration.
Sen. Jeff Markley, a Democrat from Oregon, joined the protest. “The spirit of the constitution was that no one could sell his influence to anyone,” he said.
“Does he receive a transaction fee each time a transaction is made,” said Ken Papaji, a former Treasury employee.
Dinner comes at a critical time for the US crypto industry. There, the industry is pushing hard for Congress to pass friendly regulations. But Trump’s bonds may complicate the issue as lawmakers introduced anti-corruption bills aimed at codes and politicians.
Senate Democrats are also aiming for a genius law focused on the stable station, introducing numerous amendments that address Trump’s crypto companies.
