I have always been an ardent supporter of President Trump and his crypto friendly policy. As an early supporter who invested heavily in World Liberty Financial, I did so because I believed in the vision that was presented to the public: a decentralized finance platform that

I am a Web3 Ambassador at World Liberty Financial. There are 12 of us on the team page. 4 are named Trump. 3 are named Witkoff. The page calls us “the passionate minds shaping the future of finance.” 600,000 wallets bought our memecoin. They lost $3.87 billion. The family [image]

Does anyone still believe @justinsuntron ? Justin's favorite move is playing the victim while making baseless allegations to cover up his own misconduct. Same playbook, different target. WLFI isn't the first. We have the contracts. We have the evidence. We have the truth. See

Technology should NEVER become a partisan issue. Unfortunately, Crypto and Blockchain technology have become just that. The first politician to make it partisan was @ewarren and her anti-crypto army. Because of things like this, along with insiders making hundred million dollar

Trump's SEC dropped a lawsuit against Justin Sun after Sun made a $75 million “investment” (😉) in World Liberty Financial, the Trump family crypto (scam) company. WLFI absolutely fleeces Sun and many others. Sun complains. WLFI attacks him. Amazing stuff here.

LOL. Justin Sun heel turns on the Trump boyz. Who I guess were heels themselves. What is this - heel turning on the heels - called in WWE? It doesn't seem right to call Justin a face, more like a heel-squared.

I think the World Liberty Finance account calling out Justin Sun (one of their biggest investors) and saying “see you in court” makes me never want to get involved with the World Liberty Finance crypto ecosystem at all what a shit show

Who would have thought the crypto scheme run by the families of Trump and Witkoff and funded and supported by dictators and pardoned criminals would become mired in scandal?

This is hilarious to me, sorry. The men with the most access to predictive alpha in the world are actively getting scammed by the greatest scammer in the world. Enjoy that rug pull, boys — you deserve it.

Bro, you were the first one who started to manipulate and destroy the project from the first day of launch (September 2025). We were so hopeful on launch day, and the price was moving higher from launch price to ~$0.45. What did you do? You started to manipulate the market by

Say what you want about Justin Sun, but he's an OG in our space and I'll always take his side over Trump and his sons. I'm glad that he's calling these dudes out. You can't come into our space, launch three shit projects, $WLFI, $TRUMP, $MELANIA, and get away with it.

You know it's bad when one of the biggest scammers of all time, who bought a way out of an SEC investigation with massive investments in WLFI and TRUMP coin, is denouncing the president's business for being even bigger scammers.

I don't believe this is an official response - your biggest holder - who invested $80M into your project - spent $18M on a dinner - publicly supported your launch countless times - now has his assets frozen - speaks out publicly And your response is “See you in court pal.”

I am calling on World Liberty Financial @worldlibertyfi to publicly disclose who controls the single guardian EOA and the 3/5 multisig that govern the WLFI smart contract. Every investor has the right to know who holds the power to freeze their assets. Here is what on-chain
