I would say that it is well deserved. They tried to indirectly bribe a president for pushing their own interests. The money is probably better funding Nigerian families than going to Trump's team.

They were also directly responsible for the bored ape NFT pump and dump in 2021.

I was asking about the word "irony" and someone directed me to this post. Am I in the right place?

250k must be chump change compared to what they gained then

"Nigerian families" is a very rose-tinted view of a scam operator.
