Mark Hays, Associate Director of Americans for Financial Reform, joins The Dangerous Ones to expose one of the most underreported corruption stories in America today: Donald Trump’s plunge into crypto. From meme coins to a shady new stablecoin, Trump is building a parallel financial system designed for influence peddling, foreign cash, and zero accountability. Hays walks us through the mechanics of the grift, the bipartisan bills enabling it. Yes, we’re looking at you, GENIUS Act and the very real threat this poses to our democracy and economy.

Forget the hype. Hays dismantles the illusion that crypto is decentralized or democratic and shows how it’s become a perfect vehicle for modern-day bribery and financial instability. We connect the dots between Trump, foreign autocrats, and a regulatory system asleep at the wheel. If you're not alarmed yet, you will be. This episode is your firewall before the next financial meltdown and a call to action before it’s too late.
