Mrs. Trump has been embroiled in a Pump and Dump fraud lawsuit due to endorsing the Meme coin MELANIA.
Odaily News A meme coin named MELANIA has attracted attention for claiming to be “official” and receiving publicity from Melania Trump, the First Lady of the United States. The coin was launched in January this year, around the time of President Donald Trump's inauguration. In April, multiple crypto traders filed a class-action lawsuit, accusing several meme coin projects, including M3M3, LIBRA, ENRON, and TRUST, of perpetrating a “Pump and Dump” fraud by manipulating token issuance for personal gain, resulting in losses for investors. On Tuesday, the plaintiffs updated the lawsuit documents to also include MELANIA as a suspected project. The lawsuit does not accuse Melania herself of participating in the fraud but claims that she inadvertently endorsed the project, serving as a “figurehead.” The plaintiffs emphasized that if the First Lady's team were aware of any illegal activities related to the project, they would immediately retract any authorization.
