How the Trump family took over a crypto firm as it raised hundreds of millions

World Liberty Financial raised over $550 million for its crypto venture, with a significant portion sold after Donald Trump's election win, according to Reuters calculations.
The Trump family claims 75% of revenues from token sales and 60% from operations, entitling them to about $400 million.
World Liberty's structure has drawn criticism for favoring insiders and limiting public investors' financial participation, creating potential conflicts of interest due to Trump's presidency.
Critics, including some government ethics experts, have raised concerns about the financial ties between a sitting U.S. President and the crypto venture, indicating risks related to deregulation.
