This article became popular in the English circle. WLFI project participants revealed how the Trump team made money through WLFI. At present, WLFI official website has deleted team member information
The following are the key points organized in logical order according to the original text:
one ️⃣ The WLFI team consists of 12 members, with 4 surnamed Trump and 3 surnamed Witkoff (Steven Witkoff is a Middle East envoy, his son Zach is in charge of encryption business, and Alex is also a co-founder). Barron Trump (19 years old) and the author are both Web3 ambassadors. The author refers to this as' organizational efficiency '
two ️⃣ The issuance of Meme coins resulted in significant losses for investors, with 600000 wallets purchasing WLFI Meme coins and a total loss of $3.87 billion for investors; The family collected $350 million through transaction fees. The product was launched 3 days before Trump's inauguration ceremony, with 80% of the supply allocated to CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC related to the family
three ️⃣ Family direct profit mechanism -75 cents of every $1 in income flows directly to the family entity DT Marks DEFI LLC (zero capital investment, zero liability). This clause is written on page 14 of the official Gold Paper. The author personally designed the allocation ratio, attribution period, launch timing, and "distance from the president"
four ️⃣ Justin Sun's Related Transactions - Justin Sun invested $75 million, but later the SEC dropped its fraud charges against him and he became a WLFI advisor
five ️⃣ Amnesty and Platform Cooperation
CZ (former CEO of Binance) was granted a pardon by Trump after pleading guilty to money laundering, and the SEC withdrew the lawsuit. In the same week that the WLFI stablecoin was launched, its trading house settled $2 billion worth of transactions on the stablecoin.
The three founders of BitMEX (Arthur Hayes et al.) have been granted amnesty, and the company's $100 million fine has been fully waived. The author keeps repeating 'these events are irrelevant'
six ️⃣ Foreign funds and diplomatic interests - Sheikh Tahnoun of Abu Dhabi paid $500 million to acquire an undisclosed 49% stake, and then the US government approved semiconductor exports to his company despite national security opposition. On May 22, at a dinner party, 220 people paid $148 million to have dinner with the president, with more than half being foreigners. Justin Sun spent $18.5 million to sit at the table
seven ️⃣ Executive Order and Asset Appreciation: Trump signs Executive Order 14233 to establish a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve," requiring the government to hold Bitcoin while the family holds billions of dollars in Bitcoin, resulting in a direct appreciation of assets. Trump Media has placed $2 billion in Bitcoin on its balance sheet, and Forbes estimates that the family's cryptocurrency holdings have exceeded the combined value of Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower
eight ️⃣ The author summarizes the cycle of funding loop and continuous profit model: Meme coin → funds entering the family → family → platform → stablecoin → trading → pardon required → cooperation → funds returning to the platform → presidential decree signing → asset appreciation → family. Similar to Trump's previous Trump Casinos model ($82 million in management fees over 13 years, investors lost $1.1 billion), but WLFI has already collected $350 million in just 15 months, significantly improving efficiency
The article extensively cites publicly available facts (Gold Paper, court records, on chain data) and uses a cold and humorous tone to piece together a "legitimate but highly conflicting" picture, repeatedly using the phrase "These events are unrelated" to strongly satirize
