Anti-Crypto Senator Bob Menendez Convicted of Accepting Bribes 😆 😆 😆 

U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (Dem), known for his vocal criticism of crypto, has been found guilty of accepting bribes in exchange for leveraging his political influence.

On Tuesday, a jury convicted Menendez of all charges including 16 counts tied to a scheme where he accepted bribes, including gold bars and a Mercedes-Benz, in exchange for helping foreign governments.

Menendez, formerly the head of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, now faces the prospect of decades in prison.

Crypto Community Highlights the “Irony”
Following the conviction, crypto veterans took to X to mention the irony, highlighting the contrast between Menendez’s stance on crypto and his own criminal activities.

The case drew attention due to the Senator’s previous statements labeling Bitcoin as an “ideal choice for criminals.”
