ME News message: On May 30 (UTC+8), a U.S. federal judge asked President Trump and his family’s lawyers to provide detailed explanations regarding a settlement agreement involving the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Under the agreement, a fund of approximately $1.8 billion was established to compensate individuals who claim they were affected by “the weaponization of the judicial system.” The judge said the agreement faces serious fraud allegations and required Trump’s team to explain why the arrangement is a reasonable way to resolve the lawsuit and whether there are any legal issues. The fund was set up by the U.S. Department of Justice within the settlement framework, sparking widespread controversy in legal and political circles. In addition, information shows that Trump reached a special settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice to end a $10 billion lawsuit. Under the agreement, the IRS will permanently prohibit any pursuit or audit of Trump and his family’s prior tax filings. The court has not yet issued a final ruling on the legality of the agreement and has asked the Trump side to provide further explanations. (Source: MLion)

A total of 1.8 billion in funds changes hands with the IRS without any audit—this is so Web3; even on-chain, nobody dares to do it this openly.

The court hasn’t ruled on the legality yet, but the agreement is already in effect—time arbitrage is played right and figured out.

After the Trump family’s tax filing, everything becomes a black box—more private than privacy coins.
