  • WSJ Links Trump Crypto Venture to Billion-Dollar Pig Butchering Scam Network
    May 3, 2026, 4:25 AM EDT. A Wall Street Journal investigation reveals Trump-associated World Liberty Financial (WLF) partnered with virtual currency firm AB, whose leadership faces U.S. Treasury sanctions for ties to a transnational pig butchering scam. Pig butchering is a long-con fraud involving offshore compounds that stole billions from investors. WLF enabled its stablecoin on AB's network shortly after the October 14 sanctions against over 140 individuals and entities linked to Prince Group's scam operations in Cambodia. Chase Herro and Zachary Folkman, WLF's key figures, face DOJ probes for potential overlaps with the fraudulent infrastructure through prior ventures. While no charges are filed against them yet, blockchain forensics and hiring links to scam actors raise concerns. WLF only learned of AB's sanctioned connections months after their partnership.
