"Oligarch Justin Sun is the founder of a separate nebulous multi-billion dollar crypto project, TRON. He initially invested $45m (33m) in World Liberty and alleged that occasionally his World Liberty Financial tokens have been valued at more than $1bn.

Since Sep 2025, the price of a single WLFI token has plunged from 31 cents to just under 8 cents.

Sun whined that his backing was driven by the Trumpf Crime Family's (TFC) association with the project and his long-standing support for cryptocurrencies."

Trump is a convicted financial fraudster. It's pretty simple concept. Do business with criminals, get robbed.

Joseph Conrad once mused that "evil recognizes evil" and we read that In the Heart of Darkness (1902).

In NYC, the superrich Trumpf Crime Family (TCF)-- bumper-to-bumper with arch-goniff Bernie Madoff alongside Jeffrey Epstein in Manhattan -- never lost a shekel to that notorious mega Ponzi genius.

Sidenote: I was acquainted with the SDNY AUSA on that case, as well as a gumshoe involved in recovering lost assets for a bewildered Madoff client.

I am no financial genius but even I would know to check on Trump's history in grifting in the financial world, his astoundingly perverted cheeriness at bankrupting companies as he takes too much of their assets into his financial stream. One does wonder if there really will be a trial...discovery would be a nightmare for those who set up the adventure that cost him so much.
