The crypto project associated with Trump, WLFI, has come under controversy due to its partnership with AB DAO in Southeast Asia, which is linked to individuals sanctioned by the US and UK. Although WLFI claims to have conducted due diligence and has no connection, investigations show that they are unaware of AB DAO's promotion of related projects.

Deep Tide TechFlow message. On April 8, according to CoinDesk, the Trump-linked crypto project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has once again fallen into controversy over its collaboration with the Southeast Asian blockchain project AB DAO. An investigation by 《The Times》 shows that AB DAO’s flagship project had previously involved multiple people who were later sanctioned by the U.S. and the U.K.; these people have ties to Cambodia’s Prince Group (Prince Group)—and U.S. authorities have characterized the organization as a major transnational criminal network.

WLFI said it had conducted due diligence on its partners and that it has “no connection whatsoever” to sanctioned individuals, but the investigation found that it was completely unaware that it had previously promoted an AB DAO vacation resort project associated with Prince Group.
