Weapon of Mass Corruption: Crypto’s Political Playbook (ft. Molly White)

Weapon of Mass Corruption: Crypto’s Political Playbook (ft. Molly White)

Donald Trump once called crypto a "scam." Now he's a crypto billionaire—and the crypto bro in chief. What's going on here?

Tech researcher Molly White (creator of Citation Needed/Tech Influence Watch) joins Gil Duran on the Nerd Reich podcast to expose how cryptocurrency and AI industries are weaponizing unprecedented amounts of money to buy the U.S. government.

From billions flowing to the Trump family to $444+ million poured into 2026 midterm super PACs like Fairshake, this episode breaks down the big fake money hustle behind Silicon Valley's hostile takeover of American democracy.
