The New York Times: World Liberty Financial receives a $100 million investment from a businessman suspected of money laundering

According to ChianCatcher, the New York Times reported that the cryptocurrency project World Liberty Financial (WLFI), associated with the Trump family, received a $100 million purchase of WLFI governance tokens from businessman Guren "Bobby" Zhou through Aqua 1.

It is reported that Zhou was arrested in the UK in 2021 on suspicion of money laundering and is still related to an active investigation, but has not yet been charged. UK court records accuse him of participating in money laundering activities that began in 2019 along with five others. Two of his long-term employees were charged last September, one of whom has pleaded guilty. In this transaction, up to $75 million flowed to companies controlled by Trump and his son.
