— World Liberty Financial launched in September 2024 when Donald Trump announced his sons were entering the crypto market.

— The project's first token offering, $WLFI , raised only about $2.7 million by late October 2024.

— After Trump won the 2024 presidential election, sales exploded.

— By March 2025, World Liberty had sold roughly $550 million worth of $WLFI tokens.

— A Trump-family-linked Delaware entity called DT Marks DEFI LLC was structured to receive 75% of net revenues from the project, while being insulated from operational liability.

— House Democrats later estimated the Trump family had extracted at least $890 million in revenues and held WLFI tokens valued around $3.8 billion, with no documented personal capital invested at inception.

— Donald Trump is listed as "Co-Founder Emeritus," Barron Trump as "DeFi Visionary," and Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. as "Web3 Ambassadors."

— Day-to-day operations are run by Zachary Folkman, Chase Herro, and Zach Witkoff, the son of Steve Witkoff, the Trump administration's Middle East envoy.

— The biggest outside buyer was Tron founder Justin Sun.

— Sun bought $30 million worth of tokens in late 2024 and was named a project advisor.

— He later raised his total exposure to roughly $75 million.

— Shortly after Sun's investment, the SEC paused its long-running fraud case against him in February 2025.

— That case was eventually settled in March 2026 for a $10 million fine with no admission of wrongdoing.

— Critics immediately questioned the timing.

— In May 2025, UAE-controlled investment firm MGX announced it would use WLFI's USD1 stablecoin to settle a $2 billion deal with crypto exchange Binance.

— A November 17, 2025 "60 Minutes" segment connected that Binance-MGX-USD1 arrangement to the eventual presidential pardon of Binance founder Changpeng "CZ" Zhao.

— Trump pardoned CZ on October 23, 2025, after CZ had previously pleaded guilty to enabling money laundering, served four months, and paid $50 million as part of Binance's $4.3 billion settlement.

— Asked why he pardoned CZ, Trump said he didn't really know who he was but that "a lot of people" had recommended it.

— Bloomberg reported that Binance had helped write the foundational code for USD1, the stablecoin later used in the MGX deal, an arrangement that could channel millions in interest income to the Trump family.

— Senator Elizabeth Warren publicly called the entire arrangement "corruption."

— In summer 2025, the UAE-based Aqua 1 Foundation, linked by analysts to entities connected to China's state-owned CNPC, wired $100 million in stablecoins to WLFI under circumstances Reuters described as opaque.

— A September 2025 report from watchdog Accountable.US alleged WLFI sold tokens to wallets connected to a North Korean hacking group, a sanctioned Russian sanctions-evasion tool, an Iranian crypto exchange, and Tornado Cash, a known money-laundering platform.

— According to the report, $10,000 worth of tokens went in January 2025 to traders whose wallets had transacted with addresses sanctioned for ties to the North Korean Lazarus Group.

— Senators Warren and Jack Reed wrote to Treasury and DOJ demanding answers, warning the project could "supercharge illicit finance activity."

— WLFI denied wrongdoing and said it had performed "rigorous AML/KYC checks" and turned away millions in non-compliant funds.

— Behind the scenes, the relationship with Sun was deteriorating fast.

— According to Sun's later lawsuit, between April and July 2025, WLFI executives pressured him to mint 200 million USD1 tokens on his Tron blockchain.

— That would have effectively handed WLFI $200 million to invest in low-risk assets like Treasury bonds.

— When Sun declined, the relationship turned hostile.

— In August 2025, WLFI quietly modified its smart contract to add a "blacklisting" function letting it freeze tokens in any wallet, without a governance vote and without disclosing it to investors.

— Sun's lawsuit later described this as a function "buried in the code" that the company could "wield at will."

— In September 2025, after Sun moved roughly $9 million in tokens to external wallets, what he called routine test deposits, WLFI froze 540 million unlocked WLFI tokens and 2.4 billion locked tokens belonging to him.

— At the time of the freeze, the holdings were worth over $107 million; by April 2026, that had collapsed to an estimated $43 to $60 million.

— Sun alleges co-founder Chase Herro then escalated, demanding Sun publicly announce he was destroying his own tokens.

— If Sun refused, Herro reportedly said he would push token-holders to vote on burning them, a vote WLFI insiders could likely win since they controlled a large share of circulating tokens.

— Herro also allegedly raised vague "issues" with Sun's KYC paperwork and threatened to report him to U.S. criminal authorities if he didn't comply.

— The lawsuit argues this dual-purpose freeze let WLFI both extort Sun for the $200 million stablecoin mint and prop up the WLFI market price by preventing one of its largest holders from selling.

— Sun's complaint argues that WLFI's ability to issue, freeze, and reassign tokens could legally qualify it as a money transmitter under FinCEN rules, triggering registration and anti-money-laundering obligations it has not met.

— Separately, on-chain analysts flagged a "circular borrowing" pattern in which WLFI's treasury used its own low-liquidity governance tokens as collateral to borrow stablecoins from affiliated platform Dolomite, with limited disclosure.

— That arrangement at one point allegedly triggered a liquidity crisis.

— On November 24, 2025, House Democrats published a staff report describing WLFI as the centerpiece of "presidential self-dealing on an unprecedented scale."

— Representative Jamie Raskin said Trump had "turned the Oval Office into the world's most corrupt crypto startup operation."

— The report named obstruction of justice, foreign influence, and self-dealing as core allegations.

— On January 9, 2026, WLFI applied to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for a national trust bank charter, proposing to launch World Liberty Trust Company with Zach Witkoff as president.

— If approved, the project would move from crypto's periphery into the heart of U.S. federal banking regulation.

— In April 2026, Sun publicly accused WLFI of treating users as a "private ATM" and called the blacklisting feature a pre-embedded "backdoor."

— $WLFI fell 15% to a record low after that accusation.

— On April 21, 2026, Sun filed a federal lawsuit in California against World Liberty Financial alleging fraud, breach of contract, and conversion.

— Reporters quickly nicknamed it the "$1 Billion Banana Feud," partly because Eric Trump's response was a sarcastic post about a banana duct-taped to a wall.

— Sun was careful to say his lawsuit targets "certain individuals on the World Liberty project team," not President Trump or his administration, and that he remains a Trump supporter.

— WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff fired back that the suit was a "desperate attempt to deflect" from Sun's own alleged misconduct, though specifics were not provided.

— Portions of Sun's complaint remain under seal due to confidentiality clauses.

— In a striking coincidence, on April 23, 2026, the same week as the lawsuit, Tether confirmed it had frozen $344 million in USDT across two Tron wallets at the request of OFAC and U.S. law enforcement, in what may be its largest enforcement action ever.

— The wallets were flagged for suspected sanctions evasion and criminal activity; the freeze was not attributed to Sun himself, but it landed on the blockchain he controls.

— WLFI continues to deny any wrongdoing, insists its compliance is "the highest standard in the industry," and frames the blacklisting feature as a routine security tool comparable to USDT or USDC controls.

— The case is now headed for federal court, where U.S. judges will, for the first time, have to seriously evaluate whether a "decentralized" DeFi project that quietly built itself a kill switch is really decentralized at all, and whether a sitting president's family can run a crypto company that profits directly from the policies that president signs.
— That ruling, whenever it comes, may matter more for U.S. crypto regulation than any bill currently in Congress.

Reminder:Most of the wrongdoing described is alleged, contained in lawsuits, congressional reports, or watchdog filings. WLFI denies the core allegations, no criminal charges have been filed against the company or the Trump family over WLFI as of late April 2026, and Sun's civil claims have not been tested in court.

CEO DE CRIPTO POLONÊS FUGIU PARA ISRAEL ENQUANTO CENTENAS DE MILHÕES EM BITCOIN DESAPARECEM DAS CONTAS POLONESAS 🇵🇱🔥

Uma grande exchange de criptomoedas polonesa, Zondacrypto, colapsou, deixando centenas de cidadãos poloneses comuns incapazes de acessar suas economias. Aproximadamente 4.500 Bitcoin — avaliados em centenas de milhões de dólares — estão ou bloqueados ou desaparecidos.

Aqui está o quadro completo, explicado claramente para o mundo todo:

Usuários depositaram seu dinheiro suado para operar com cripto. Os saques foram congelados de repente. O fundador da empresa, Sylwester Suszek, desapareceu em 2022, supostamente levando as chaves privadas críticas com ele. O CEO Przemysław Kral insiste que não houve roubo — apenas uma “corrida bancária” combinada com problemas técnicos causados pelo fundador desaparecido. Ele afirma que os fundos ainda existem, mas não podem ser acessados.

Em 2026, o mundo financeiro está se desenvolvendo rapidamente com a tecnologia digital que transforma a maneira como armazenamos e investimos nossos ativos. Para investidores iniciantes e profissionais, Comprar Bitcoin se tornou uma das opções mais discutidas. Por quê? Porque o Bitcoin não é mais apenas um ativo especulativo, mas já faz parte integral de um portfólio moderno. Em meio à incerteza econômica global, a inflação que continua a corroer o valor das moedas fiduciárias e o desenvolvimento de regulamentações cada vez mais maduras, Comprar Bitcoin em 2026 oferece um forte potencial de diversificação e oportunidades de crescimento a longo prazo.

O Tesouro acaba de declarar os EUA insolventes. A mídia perdeu isso

O governo dos EUA está insolvente. Isso não é hipérbole — é a conclusão tirada diretamente das próprias demonstrações financeiras consolidadas do Departamento do Tesouro para o ano fiscal de 2025, divulgadas na semana passada em quase total silêncio da mídia. Os números: $6,06 trilhões em ativos totais contra $47,78 trilhões em passivos totais em 30 de setembro de 2025.

É importante notar que os $47,78 trilhões em passivos reportados não incluem as obrigações não financiadas de programas de seguro social como a Previdência Social e o Medicare — essas são divulgadas separadamente na Demonstração de Seguro Social (SOSI) fora do balanço patrimonial.
