Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn failed to properly disclose up to $950,000 in cryptocurrency trades

Rep. Madison Cawthorn already faces an ethics complaint over past crypto trades.
Cawthorn appears to have again violated the STOCK Act's disclosure provisions.
Congress is actively debating whether to limit or ban lawmakers from making certain financial trades.

Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina appears to have again violated a federal conflict-of-interest law by failing to properly report purchases and sales of six types of cryptocurrencies, according to a new congressional financial disclosure.

The reported value of Cawthorn's newly disclosed crypto trades is between $290,000 and $950,000, according to his disclosure, which he filed with the US House of Representatives on Wednesday morning.

Cawthorn reported his trades took place between January and March. By federal law, he had no more than 45 days to publicly disclose them in a certified document submitted to Congress.

Imaginary money. Well I would also like to know the answer to that question. He definitely didn’t get it working at Chick-fil-A

from the accident that left him paralyzed. Did he use that, or was he gifted the stuff for pushing crypto to the masses?
