Is David Sacks Playing Crypto Santa a Bit Too Long? The 130-Day Dilemma Exposed!

Senator Elizabeth Warren, accompanied by a merry band of Democratic parliamentarians, has volleyed an epistle to David Sacks, the White House’s self-styled “crypto czar,” wondering whether he might have camped out a tad longer than protocol permits in his temporary advisor role. 🕵️‍♂️💼

According to the inscrutable scrolls of the Office of Government Ethics, Special Government Employees (SGEs for those who adore acronyms) have a strict 130-day curfew. Now, David, being the modest chap he is, hasn’t exactly been posting his attendance log on Instagram, but these vigilant congresspeople suspect he’s been punching the government time clock well past his bedtime-ever since the Trump administration rolled out the red carpet. ⏰🐢

David’s Double Life: Gotham’s Crypto Hero or Government’s Unofficial Valve?

Today, a contingent of eight intrepid congresspeople unitedly penned a letter to Mr. Sacks, inquiring just how many days he’s flitted about the halls of power as our “Crypto and AI Czar.” Could he have been sticking around longer than a wedding guest who forgot it was a weekday? 🎩🤖

Our man David is currently on loan to the White House as an SGE, a sort of governmental temp gig that lets him juggle some public duties without fully abandoning his Silicon Valley lair.

The Democrats are especially twitchy about the ethics angle-a reasonable concern, seeing as David’s moonlighting as a general partner at Craft Ventures, a venture capital shindig with its fingers in many crypto pies. 🥧💰

“When your ethics waiver was granted, the White House quite sensibly insisted that SGEs would serve the public only ‘temporarily’-a delicate dance indeed. For you, Mr. Sacks, obeying this rule is all the more vital given the rather grand scale of your conflicts of interest,” the note scolded.

Our intrepid letter writers also implied that David’s private paycheck from Craft Ventures is only kosher because his government role is, theoretically, brief. Should he have overstepped the 130-day boundary, pocketing private loot whilst in public service might just amount to ethical skullduggery. 🎩💸

130 Days? Or Has David Been Sightseeing Past That Mark?

Authored by none other than Elizabeth Warren and fellow stalwarts such as Chris Van Hollen, Richard Blumenthal, Jeffrey Merkley, Melanie Stansbury, Betty McCollum, Rashida Tlaib, and Bernie Sanders (because what’s a party without a rally), the letter requests a candid timesheet from David detailing his SGE tenure.

They note that, while this “attendance record” remains locked in private vaults, their (obviously flawless) calculations peg today as David’s 167th day as a White House special advisor. That’s roughly the length of a small tortoise’s vacation. 🐢📅

“Appointed in December 2024 and starting work on or about January 20, 2025, your 130th consecutive day falls on May 29, 2025. Counting just business days, it’s July 25, 2025,” the letter pointedly observed.

In closing, the epistle tugged at the vital point that David’s ability to keep his moonlighting deals while out at government parties depends firmly on his temporary tag. Overstay your welcome, dear David, and the rules snap into full effect-possibly leaving your ethical hat in quite a pickle. 🧢🥒
