Huh. From what I’ve searched, WLFI comes with its own warning on coingecko, a site that supposedly tracks various cryptocurrencies.
Emphasis mine.
If it wasn't such a pithy amount that they sold I would accuse them if it, but this would be a great avenue to accept donations from foreign or nefarious actors.
I could also see that, given the total absence of liability on Trump’s part, even those foreign and nefarious actors might steer clear of it, if they realize that they, too, might be getting scammed, with no recourse at all to recover their investment.
Something like is very likely designed primarily to con easily conned conservatives out of their money, though the vehicle for foreign and bad actors also exists.
