Lamar Odom Booed At Trump Crypto Investor Dinner Virginia

Former NBA star Lamar Odom was booed and heckled by protestors as he arrived at a private black-tie dinner hosted by Donald Trump at Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, which was reserved for the top investors in Trump's $TRUMP cryptocurrency. Odom, who is also a memecoin investor and promoter of his own $ODOM token, faced criticism for attending the event amid allegations that Trump's crypto dealings represent conflicts of interest and unethical profiteering while in office. The $TRUMP coin has generated significant revenue for Trump-affiliated businesses but has lost much of its value since launch, enriching a small group of top investors. Protestors outside the event chanted and held signs condemning the crypto gala, which included about 220 top buyers of the coin. Democrats and ethics experts have called for investigations into potential violations of bribery and emoluments laws, while the White House defended the event as a personal engagement by Trump, not connected to the government. Despite the protests, Odom expressed support for Trump and the "meme philosophy" behind the cryptocurrency on social media.
