The World Liberty Financial (WLFI) governance vote required 18,000 token holders to accept a vesting schedule or have their assets frozen indefinitely, with no appeal option. Four wallets controlled 40% of the vote, and one address alone exceeded the quorum threshold, raising conflict-of-interest concerns. Founders retained 40.7 billion tokens worth $3.2 billion after burning only 4.5 billion, a 1:9 burn-to-retain ratio. The token price has dropped 65% since launch, and upcoming token unlocks may push prices below five cents, wiping out profits for remaining holders. The vote's 99.5% approval rate is seen as coerced, reflecting frustration and legal threats among holders.
