    4. The launch of the Trump family's new crypto project, World Liberty Financial, has immediately sparked a wave of criticism and suspicion. Central to the controversy are the individuals involved in the project and their past.

    The Problem Begins

    Donald Trump's elder sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., are 'ambassadors' of World Liberty Financial. However, the project has already faced accusations. According to CoinDesk, the company was formerly known as 'The Defiant Ones' and is linked to figures involved in a $1.8 million loss through Dough Finance.

    Past Connections

    The founders of World Liberty Financial, Zachary Folkman and Chase Herro, were previously involved in creating Dough Finance, which lost $1.8 million in a flash-loan attack. Recent posts by Trump on social media have drawn additional attention to the project.

    I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air. Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity…Donald J. Trump

    Expert Opinions

    Many experts, like crypto venture capitalist and Trump supporter Nic Carter, express doubts about the project. He believes that the creation of World Liberty Financial is a mistake that could damage Trump's reputation and lead to legal troubles.

    This is a huge mistake. It looks like Trump’s inner circle is just cashing in on his recent embrace of crypto in a kind of naive way, and frankly it looks like they’re burning a lot of the goodwill that’s been built with the industry so far.Nic Carter

    The World Liberty Financial project raises a lot of controversies and accusations, which could seriously affect Donald Trump's reputation and that of his entourage. The situation's further development should be closely monitored.
