Former Prez Trump and his sons have been hyping a crypto project dubbed “World Liberty Financial.” Official details are light, but it’s reportedly a decentralized finance project that gives 70% of its tokens to insiders.

And now the project may already be backfiring: crypto-industry insiders are calling WLF a cash grab and warning it could burn any goodwill Trump’s built with the #Crypto  constituency.
