# Molly White Molly White is a software engineer turned cryptocurrency critic, technology researcher, and independent journalist — one of the most-cited skeptical voices tracking the crypto industry's failures and the Trump family's crypto self-dealing. ## Work - **Web3 Is Going Just Great** — a website White launched in December 2021 that maintains a running timeline of crypto and Web3 scams, collapses, hacks, and investor losses. It became a canonical reference for the sector's ongoing disasters. - **Citation Needed** — her independent, pay-what-you-want newsletter and podcast offering weekly explainers on the [[Cryptocurrency]] industry and technology more broadly. The publication has roughly 29,000 subscribers despite having no paywall. - She has bylines in the *[[New York Times]]*, *The Guardian*, *Rolling Stone*, and *Bloomberg Businessweek*, guest-lectures at Harvard, MIT, and Stanford, and has advised policymakers and regulators. ## The Trump OGE Filing Analysis White's forensic reading of [[Donald Trump]]'s June 30, 2026 [[Office of Government Ethics]] financial disclosure is one of the most-quoted analyses of that filing. She noted that "[e]ven the jaw-dropping $1.4 billion figure is only a partial view into Trump's opaque crypto empire," and pointed out that the phrase **"value not readily ascertainable" appears more than 100 times** in the filing — a measure of how much of the president's fortune is deliberately unquantifiable on his own sworn disclosure. She also observed that Trump is **"essentially day trading,"** including in companies operating in sectors "where the Trump administration is actively focused on setting policy" — flagging his stakes of between $12.5M and $58M in NVIDIA and between $9.5M and $46.5M in Amazon, "both companies whose fortunes rise and fall based on decisions made in the White House." Her analysis anchors the reporting in HCR's July 1, 2026 letter and the money-delta record at [[Spending Gap - No Personal Role vs. the Billion-Dollar OGE Filing]]. ## See Also - [[Cryptocurrency]] - [[World Liberty Financial]] - [[Trump Crypto Ventures Personal Extraction]] - [[Spending Gap - No Personal Role vs. the Billion-Dollar OGE Filing]] - [[Chris Dixon]] - [[Fairshake PAC]]
