Inside Trump Crypto Project Linked to $2M DeFi Hack and Former Pick-Up Artist

Trump's inner circle has been privately shopping a white paper for World Liberty Financial, a crypto borrowing and lending project, and CoinDesk reports that its early code appears to be lifted from Dough Finance, a DeFi app drained of $2 million in July. Four people listed as World Liberty Financial team members previously worked on Dough Finance, according to a person familiar with the matter, and the article notes that Zachary Folkman, listed as head of operations, once registered Date Hotter Girls LLC, a pick-up advice company. Folkman, Chase Herro, World Liberty Financial and the Trump campaign did not respond to requests for comment.
