Public commenter urges immediate enforceable ethics standard, cites $1.4 billion in crypto profits
A public commenter (Speaker 2) urged Congress to adopt an immediately effective, enforceable ethics standard to address alleged crypto-related profits tied to the Trump family. "You cannot ignore the $1,400,000,000 number," the commenter said, arguing accountability should not rest solely with the president's attorney general or an ethics officer.

The commenter criticized a legislative text referenced to Sen. Blumenthal, saying that draft "would still have up to a year before this goes into effect" and warning that the delay would permit further profiteering. They also said any enforceable standard should explicitly "cover his adult children too, given their prominence, and profiting off their own crypto ventures." The remarks were framed as a call for stronger, faster statutory tools rather than administrative discretion; the transcript does not include detail on a specific bill number or legislative language.
