In a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Pam Bondi dated Tuesday, Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed requested an investigation by December 1 into World Liberty Financial's compliance with anti-money laundering rules, sanctions, and governance. The demand stems from a September report by Accountable.US alleging the project sold $WLFI governance tokens to wallets linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group, a Russian sanctions-evasion stablecoin, Iran's NoBitex exchange, and the sanctioned mixer Tornado Cash. DT Marks DEFI LLC, controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holds 22.5 billion tokens and receives 75% of sales revenue, while the project lists Trump family members in prominent roles; World Liberty Financial maintains it has robust compliance measures with no evidence of wrongdoing.

Ponto-Chave

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed have fired off a letter urging a federal probe into World Liberty Financial, the Trump family's crypto project, over alleged sales to North Korean hackers and sanctioned entities.

A Wall Street Journal investigation uncovered how sanctioned Iranian businessman Babak Zanjani's network processed $850 million in crypto transactions on Binance from 2023 to late 2025, with about half estimated to fund the IRGC and proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. Blockchain data and Binance reports traced $260 million directly to IRGC entities in 2024-2025, including $107 million from Iran's central bank, despite repeated compliance red flags. Binance denies the claims, stating transactions predated key U.S. sanctions and that it investigated proactively, amid its history of $4.3 billion in fines and founder Changpeng Zhao's brief prison stint before a 2025 pardon.

Iran quietly funneled hundreds of millions through Binance to arm its militias, even as U.S. tensions simmered and internal alerts flashed red.
