Trump-Linked Crypto Mafia: Developer’s Wallet Stolen, No Recourse 🚨💰

by

Amid the vast and tumultuous sea of cryptocurrency, where every wave promises fortune and every trough threatens ruin, a storm has broken out around World Liberty Financial (WLFI). Linked to the illustrious Trump family, this crypto project has found itself embroiled in controversy, having frozen the wallets of numerous investors. The tempest rages over questions of justice, trust, and the delicate balance between security and the rights of those who dare to invest in the digital realm.

A Developer’s Plea Against the New Age Mafia

Bruno Skvorc, a developer relations specialist at Polygon, has raised his voice against the tide, accusing WLFI of theft. His tokens, he claims, have been unjustly locked away, and the reason? An email from WLFI’s compliance team deemed his wallet “high risk” due to his blockchain activities. One cannot help but chuckle at the irony of a world where the very technology meant to democratize finance is wielded like a weapon by the elite.

“In short, they stole my money, and because it involves the @POTUS family, there’s nothing I can do. Welcome to the new age mafia. There is no one to appeal to, no one to argue with, no one to sue. It just… is,” Skvorc lamented on X, the digital agora of our times. 🌍🔥

I just got a reply from @worldlibertyfi. TLDR is, they stole my money, and because it’s the @POTUS family, I can’t do anything about it.

This is the new age mafia. There is no one to complain to, no one to argue with, no one to sue. It just… is. @zachxbt THIS is the scam of…

Skvorc and five other investors found themselves locked out of their investments from the very beginning, with not a single token unlocked as promised. The injustice, he argues, lies in WLFI’s acceptance of his funds only to later label him as a “high risk” and block his access. The criteria for this designation were as follows:

  • 40 ETH moved through the crypto mixer Tornado Cash, a practice akin to hiding one’s face behind a mask in a crowded ballroom.
  • Indirect exposure to platforms under sanction, such as Garantex and Netex24, much like being tarred with the same brush for merely standing near a scandal.
  • An interaction with a dashboard later deemed a scam, a mistake as common as mistaking a shadow for a thief in the dead of night.

The Investigator’s Skepticism

ZachXBT, a seasoned investigator of blockchain transactions, cast doubt on the reliability of the compliance tools used by WLFI. He illustrated how these tools often flag addresses incorrectly, leading to innocent investors being caught in a web of suspicion. In one instance, a team preparing for a presale found several addresses flagged as risky, only to discover upon closer inspection that the labels were misplaced. Some addresses were flagged simply because they were “8 hops away” from a risky address, a distance so vast it might as well be another galaxy.

While Zach acknowledged the importance of compliance, he warned that overreliance on flawed tools could erode the trust and credibility of WLFI. He suggested that if Skvorc’s wallet was indeed flagged in error, his tokens might yet be restored, a glimmer of hope in the midst of despair. 🌟

WLFI’s Defense of Its Actions

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) stood firm in its defense, asserting that the blacklisting of hundreds of wallets, including that of Justin Sun, was done to protect users rather than stifle normal trading. The transparency, they claimed, was paramount, and their actions were taken with the best intentions. 🛡️

We’ve heard community concerns about recent wallet blacklists. Transparency first: WLFI only intervenes to protect users, never to silence normal activity.

Among the 272 blacklisted wallets, 215 were linked to phishing attempts, and 50 had been compromised through support channels. Justin Sun, however, clarified that his wallet activity was limited to small test deposits and internal transfers, posing no threat to the market. Despite his status as an early investor and supporter of WLFI, his tokens remained frozen, a testament to the indiscriminate nature of the blacklist. 🤷‍♂️

Sun, ever the advocate for investor rights, emphasized that all tokens should be considered sacred and inviolable, urging WLFI to restore access to his and others’ wallets. The struggle, it seems, continues, a battle between the forces of power and the rights of the individual. 🏆
