World Liberty Financial received a $100 million investment in its governance tokens from an entity tied to Guren "Bobby" Zhou, a Chinese businessman under active UK money laundering investigation. The funds, routed through the UAE-based Aqua1 Foundation, included up to $75 million directed to entities controlled by the Trump family and affiliates of co-founder Zach Witkoff. Zhou was arrested in 2021, and the ongoing investigation raises concerns about the origin of the funds and due diligence in WLFI's token sales. This case highlights regulatory scrutiny on Trump-linked crypto projects and calls for stricter oversight in the stablecoin and crypto sector.
