    2 billion dollars / 800,000 people gives an average of 2,500 dollars per person. I’m going to venture a guess based on vibes that this was a more or less normal distribution and the median loss is close to the average loss. That’s not YUGE per person, but it would still chap my ass real good.

      I imagine a lot of this is coming off the back of individuals/corporations/nations seeking influence over Trump; especially when you consider that something like 80-90% of initial tokens were owned by Trump and insiders.

      A couple hundred million dollars is a small amount to pay for the leverage it could provide. I honestly think a large number of the biggest bagholders would be linked to the Saudi’s and Musk.
