Still cashing in... Maybe someone will put the kibosh on this. (The Constitution also contains a domestic emoluments clause (Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 7), which prohibits the president from receiving any Emolument from the federal government or the states beyond a Compensation for his Services as chief executive.)https://politicalwire.com/2021/04/05/trump-abandons-his-brand-for-a-number/
Trump Abandons His Brand for a Number
April 5, 2021 at 7:35 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Donald Trump spent a lifetime putting his name on steaks to skyscrapers to stimulus checks, but now, the former president appears to be replacing the gold-plated surname with a number: 45, NBC News reports,
Last week, the 45th president launched his new official website, 45Office.com, a URL unlike those of his predecessors, who used their names for their web addresses.
Trumps shift from his name to his digits has been across his political properties.

Be a real shame if that somehow wound up on TFG's own Web site, wouldn't it ?

(3,131 posts)8. 8 digit number?
The United States Marshals Service assigns a distinct register number to each federal prisoner. This eight-digit number is used by the Federal Bureau of Prisons for accountability and tracking purposes.
These inmate register numbers are important for those with loved ones in federal custody because they must be used when sending money or mail to their incarcerated loved ones.
These eight-digit codes follow this format: XXXXX-0XX.
While the first five numbers in the register number are unique to each individual inmate, the last three numbers indicate the district where the offender was arrested and/or processed into the federal correctional system.

8 digits but one is zero. I wonder how full a district has gotten and also when a number gets reused. After release or after death? Id guess release.
