Martin Shkreli, also known as “Pharma Bro,” has made a claim that Donald Trump’s son, Barron Trump, was the one who launched the TrumpCoin (DJT) token with his father’s approval and holds the private keys to its smart contract address. Shkreli, who spent over six years in prison for securities fraud, says that Barron Trump approached him to launch the Solana-based token in April, which is now worth $146 million according to Birdseye data. However, Barron Trump and his representatives have not issued a public statement on the matter. Shkreli claims that he only assisted his “friend” Trump with advice about the token launch but didn’t have an active hand in deploying the token itself. Instead, he alleged that Trump was the true creator of DJT, adding that cryptocurrency influencer “Ansem” was also involved. Shkreli also suggested that 10 people were involved in the token launch and that Trump was in contact with crypto exchange Kraken to discuss getting DJT potentially listed. Shkreli tried to back up his case by bringing “Mongolian Prince” into the X Spaces, a teenager with less than 500 X followers who also allegedly worked with Shkreli. However, Adam Cochran, a partner at venture capital firm Cinneamhain Ventures, accused Shkreli of “trying to throw Barron under the bus” in an attempt to clear his own name. As the discussion around the involvement of Barron Trump took center stage on social media, Roger Stone, one of Trump’s close aids, denied any involvement of the former President or his son with the DJT memcoin.
