The Trump family's crypto project just partnered with a sanctioned scam ring.
Per the Wall Street Journal.
This is not a fringe allegation. This is the WSJ.
Here's what's actually at stake.
World Liberty Financial the Trump family's flagship DeFi project partnered with a crypto project whose operators are allegedly tied to a scam ring sanctioned by the United States government.
Sanctioned. By the same government the Trump family currently runs.
The same government whose Treasury executed Economic Fury against Iran.
The same government whose OFAC coordinated with Tether to freeze $344 million in Iranian assets.
The same government that sanctioned the very type of actors World Liberty Financial apparently partnered with.
The irony is not subtle.
Here's where this gets legally complicated.
Knowingly doing business with sanctioned entities is itself a sanctions violation.
Not allegedly. Not possibly. Legally.
The question is whether World Liberty Financial knew, should have known, or chose not to know.
In sanctions law, those distinctions matter enormously.
And the WSJ reporting means OFAC is now aware. Lawyers are now aware. Congressional oversight committees are now aware.
Recall: Justin Sun sued World Liberty Financial over frozen tokens just weeks ago.
Eric Trump called that lawsuit "more ridiculous than a duct-taped banana."
The legal exposure is accumulating faster than the dismissals.
Trump declared a presidential obligation to ensure the crypto industry does well.
The industry will be fine.
But the question of whether World Liberty Financial can survive its own legal exposure
Just got significantly more complicated.
