Are you sure this is finalized? Looking at the linked pdf it says "Executive Order 14294 further directs that the regulatory text of all notices of proposed
rulemaking and final rules with criminal consequences published in the Federal Register after
May 9, 202 should explicitly state a mens rea requirement for each element of a criminal
regulatory offense, accompanied by citations to the relevant provisions of the authorizing
statute."
Year 202? That was about 1900 years ago?
Also, several sections after are "* * *" under section 1010.380.
Are you sure you're not reading too much into a draft?
1. What, if anything, can be done to stop Treasury from ending the data collection and deleting the extant record? Who has standing?
2. Truth Social should be treated as an official communication channel for President as President. Trump routinely issues personnel changes and policy directives there before any other 'official' communication. Or even with no other communication. (Firing people for example.) That would seem to mean that it is illegal to constrain access in any way.
djt ( I refuse to capitalize his name and initials, as he is a very little human) is the ultimate grifter, never seen before in American politics, especially as president. Even Harding was known as a relatively decent man, surrounded by very corrupt friends and hanger-ons. Here we have a crime boss and his family conspiring to defraud America, with a corrupt SCOTUS greasing their path. It is a terrible situation in that he acts without any knowledge or consideration of the norms, laws, and the Constitution, as he wishes so often and so "transparently" that no one knows where to start when trying to stop his evil intentions. Depending on who is chosen in this next election and in 2028, we may never right this aspirational ship.
I am telling myself to calm down. The moves Trump's regime is making can really only mean one thing...they are panicking. They are burning the evidence before the opposition takes control. All Democratic and democracy-loving interests should be demanding preservation of all communications, documents, videos, texts and recordings of conversations related to crimes the regime has or is conspiring to or is contemplating committing. The only way to repair the damage the regime has done is prison. Look to Brazil. Look to South Korea. Look to Hungary. Imprison the grifters and then let's get on with making a more just, fair and equitable society. Let's get on with making a more perfect union.
Trump's companies have laundered billions of dollars over the years. When the banks started enforcing "know your customer" and anti-money laundering laws, the gangsters started looking for another vehicle that was lightly regulated. And the answer was high-end real estate. And Trump, off bankruptcies and de-banking, was there waiting. Remember Eric Trump's boast that the Trump Organization didn't need banks because they were getting so much investment from Russians? Let's hope a court enjoins this move quickly and requires an archived copy of the database to be placed under seal in a Federal court depository.
Yes. We need to strengthen the AMLs, not weaken them. The public (and the pundits) needs to be talking more about the banking lawsuits. What does Capital One know and what did they see that made them close Trumps accounts?
And there were hundreds of accounts, most of them held by shell companies, I'd wager. Trump is quite adept at routing money to LLCs, which quickly ship the money off to new destinations and dissolve almost immediately. Years ago, I traced one large payment from his 2017 Inaugural Committee to a freshly created LLC in California, which paid the money out and dissolved. The LLC was somewhat implausibly set up by a 94 year old entertainment lawyer from Beverly Hills (who, undoubtedly, would remember nothing if called to testify). Hmm . . . .
Pardon my naivety, but if it is a law to track this data, how can he just destroy the system and the data? This mob boss runs this country solely to benefit his crime family. Period.
"[The president] shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed..." This is a constitutional job requirement. The convicted criminal violated this requirement within minutes of taking the oath of office. [Remember the day 1 pardons for the most violent January 6 thugs?] He violates this job requirement daily. I couldn't even say that, not even close, about Richard Nixon. Send his GOP reps and Senators packing this fall.
This is 100% on brand for Trump. From his condo building days, he doesn't want buyers willing to invest in his projects, especially foreign buyers who wish to remain anonymous and avoid taxes, to have to disclose their identities.
But he's already eliminated many more strictures than the shell company database:
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
Not sure what is worse, the fact that the administration knows that his propaganda apparatus will ensure that base will never hear about this, or that he is simply out of F’s to give. If ever there was a corruption YOLO moment, we’re experiencing it.
The convicted white collar financial fraudsters Trump pardons have restitution they owe victims wiped away as part of their clemency, many millions of dollars owed to thousands of people. Trump isn’t just an elite swamp-dweller, he’s much more than that. He actively covers for the wealthiest financial criminals and drug traffickers, at the expense of ordinary citizens. He is demonstrably on their side and against the little guy, whether by siding with convicted criminals who pray on ordinary citizens or cutting Medicaid so wealthy corporate donors get tax breaks. Anything that helps wealthy crooks or corporations he is going to sign on to. Meanwhile bribe-funneling crypto he set up for that sole purpose is referred to as a “venture” in the crypto “industry”. The People are not being represented, not even close.

What did people expect? They put a felon in the Oval Office.
It's to hide his own family's corrupt dealings.
Spell corrupt backwards, and squint, and you'll see Trump.

Some patriotic government employee needs to download the data before they can delete it.
State bureaus of investigation, hope you are paying attention and putting your computer nerds on this job before the data disappears.
Trump, the corrupt and criminal, is aiding and abetting other criminals.
Thanks Republicans and Conservatives Movement.
So it seems that, per our Felonious Oath-Breaker, Scott Bessent, the U.S. Treasury Department, and Project 2025, Corruption [Will] Die in Darkness.
Imagine my surprise. And shock.
