  • WSJ Links Trump-Backed Crypto Firm to Billion-Dollar Scam Network
    May 3, 2026, 10:39 AM EDT. A Wall Street Journal probe revealed World Liberty Financial (WLF), a crypto venture with ties to former President Trump, collaborated with AB, a virtual currency firm linked to a large-scale "pig butchering" scam stealing billions. The partnership enabled WLF's USD1 stablecoin on AB's network just weeks after AB's executives faced U.S. Treasury sanctions for alleged involvement in the Prince Group's transnational fraud. Chase Herro and Zachary Folkman, key figures in WLF's strategy, are under Department of Justice scrutiny for connections to earlier crypto schemes tied to this fraud infrastructure. The Treasury's October 14 sanctions targeted over 140 actors connected to the Prince Group, believed to operate at least 10 scam compounds in Cambodia. This investigation raises concerns about regulatory oversight and the reputational risks of presidentially branded crypto projects.
