Trump’s Crypto Deal: Shady Money Moves? 🤑

by

DWF Labs, out of Dubai, announced today they’re throwin’ $25 million at World Liberty Financial, that’s got the Trump name all over it. And they’re fixin’ to open up shop in New York City, hopin’ to rub elbows with the fellas in suits and ties – regulators, financial institutions, the whole shebang.

Now, this here partnership might grease the wheels for crypto in the U.S., but some folks are lookin’ sideways at DWF. Seems they got a past that ain’t exactly squeaky clean, raisin’ questions about whether there’s some backroom deals goin’ on. 🤨

Understandin’ DWF Labs’ Investment in WLFI

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), one of the Trump family’s big gambles in the crypto world, been makin’ noise since the President took office back in January.

Heard whispers that this DeFi project was talkin’ to Binance ’bout launchin’ a new stablecoin, and then, bam, they announce USD1. Now, they’re shakin’ hands with DWF Labs out of Dubai, a Web3 outfit with deep pockets.

“The U.S. is the biggest darn market for digital doodads. Us plantin’ our flag here shows we believe America’s gonna be the place for crypto adoption by the big boys. Plus, that USD1 stablecoin and other DeFi contraptions fit right in with our aim to make money easier,” said Managing Partner Andrei Grachev, soundin’ like he’s readin’ straight from a script. 🙄

DWF’s statement spills the beans on their new friendship with WLFI. Two things to keep in mind: they already bought $25 million worth of WLFI tokens, and they’re set to build a fancy office in New York City.

On the bright side, this could stir things up in the U.S. crypto market. DWF Labs has got its fingers in over 700 crypto pies.

So, havin’ a base in New York might just give ’em the wiggle room to play the game and throw money at the local crypto scene. Could mean more chances for these young Web3 projects and startups to get a piece of the action.

DWF Labs just dropped $25M on World Liberty Financial!@worldlibertyfi is a DeFi platform with ties to Trump and this marks DWF’s first major move into the U.S., with a new NYC office on the way.

If you don’t know @DWFLabs. They’ve backed 700+ projects (including 20% of the CMC…

Concerns of Financial Misconduct

DWF Labs might be the belle of the ball, but they got skeletons in the closet. Last year, folks were yellin’ ’bout wash tradin’ and messin’ with the market, and there’s talk Binance shut down its own look-see ’cause of the money involved. 🤨

And one of their partners got the boot back in October for allegedly druggin’ some poor soul applyin’ for a job. So, yeah, their name ain’t exactly gold-plated right now.

Point is, folks in the crypto world got a right to be nervous ’bout this deal between DWF and World Liberty Financial. A report from March says most of the money WLFI makes goes straight into the Trump family’s pockets. 💰

The WLFI owners can’t even trade their own tokens, and what these tokens are supposed to do is anybody’s guess. Truth be told, there ain’t a good reason for anyone to invest in this thing. 🤷‍♂️

The worry is that outfits like DWF are usin’ WLFI as a sneaky way to play politics. Not long after the election, Justin Sun, the Tron guy, threw $30 million at World Liberty. Seems the Trump family scooped up most of that cash, and the SEC slapped Tron with a fraud case back in February.

If DWF Labs is tossin’ around similar money, could it be a get-out-of-jail-free card? The Department of Justice already clipped the wings of its Crypto Enforcement Team, and the top dog in New York is hintin’ at backin’ off crypto cases.

As this deal rolls on, best keep an eye out for any funny business. 👀
