Hackers Promote Fraudulent Trump Family Project
World Liberty Financial has had connections with the Trump family and has reportedly received their endorsement, although recent developments suggest a shift in this relationship. Recent incidents involved hackers posting blockchain addresses and asserting that the token was part of a crypto project associated with the Trump family.
Hackers Prevail
Specifically, Lara Trump claims her account was compromised after it disseminated a message claiming that the governance token of the project on the Solana blockchain would support their DeFi lending protocol. These posts were later identified as fraudulent and removed.
Eric Trump subsequently confirmed on X that both profiles had been hacked and advised followers to avoid interacting with the scam addresses. In response, World Liberty Financial released a statement urging people to disregard any links or transactions regarding the compromised accounts.
Another Fraud
This episode marks at least the third instance where a cryptocurrency token, seemingly connected to the Trump family and their crypto project, has surfaced. Previous examples include the contentious DJT token and the Restore the Republic token, which experienced a brief surge in value before collapsing.
For several weeks, the Trump family has been promoting World Liberty Financial, with speculation suggesting that the project will be hosted on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain alongside Aave and their decentralized finance platform. The anticipated Trump family crypto project is expected to feature a credit account system with a token named WLFI.
