TechFlow News, April 8: According to a CoinDesk report, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a cryptocurrency project linked to Donald Trump, has once again drawn controversy due to its partnership with AB DAO, a Southeast Asian blockchain project. An investigation by The Times revealed that AB DAO’s flagship project had previously involved multiple individuals later sanctioned by the United States and the United Kingdom—individuals connected to the Prince Group of Cambodia, which U.S. authorities have designated as a major transnational criminal network.
WLFI stated it conducted due diligence on its partner and claimed “no association whatsoever” with sanctioned individuals. However, the investigation found WLFI was unaware that AB DAO had previously promoted resort projects linked to the Prince Group.
