Except no it's absolutely not. They use systems such as ACH and the Federal Reserve Wire Network. For international transfers, they use systems like the SWIFT network.
Why add a crypto middleman to transactions like those?
He hates being at the White House, with all the rules and procedures that have to be followed there. He'd much prefer to engage in open corruption without all that red tape.
A spine isn't necessary for that, just greed and self-interest. Leaks will happen whenever the slimy weasels Trump surrounds himself with think they'll benefit from them or are too incompetent to prevent them.
The problem is that a fascist regime will always be in a state of damage control, and that control will become more and more violent to the population.
I'm not sure how to put this, but... Fascists are always really, really, really bad at everything. Like sure, they can sometimes make the trains run on time out of sheer terror on the part of the rail staff, but actual, legitimate competence? That's anathema to these people, especially the bloated sack of festering anuses at the top. Leaks - deeply, incomprehensibly stupid leaks like this one - will continue.

Nah. It's not almost like that. Nope. It's exactly that.
This is weaponized incompetence and stupidity.
