YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTrump's World Liberty Financial was sold as financial freedom — decentralized, outside the reach of gatekeepers, built for the people. His three sons co-founded it. Trump listed himself as co-founder emeritus. On his 2025 financial disclosure, he reported $57 million in personal income from it.
His biggest investor put in $75 million. His account was frozen. His holdings collapsed by more than $80 million. World Liberty Financial's response: "See you in court."
This week, World Liberty proposed unlocking 62 billion tokens. 72% go to insiders — the Trump family, executives, advisers. Public investors don't fully unlock until after Trump's term ends. If they reject the new schedule, their tokens stay locked indefinitely.
Justin Sun's verdict: "One of the most absurd governance scams I have ever seen."
The WLFI token is down 74% since August. The public is locked out. The Trump family is cashing in.
This is what financial freedom looks like with a Trump logo on it.
