Anew crypto project promoted by Donald Trump has been hijacked by scammers, who have lured tens of thousands of people to a group promising fake cryptocurrency giveaways.

The Trump-backed World Liberty Financial platform has attracted more than 230,000 subscribers to its official Telegram channel since launching last month, despite offering no information about the project beyond a promise to challenge the dominance of big banks.


A rival channel operated by cyber criminals has managed to place ads on the official channel in an attempt to profit from the buzz and hype surrounding the venture, drawing in more than 70,000 Telegram users.

The channel associated with the scam, called ‘World Liberty Financial Airdrop’, claims to offer up to $15,000 worth of cryptocurrency for anyone who “connects” their crypto wallet, according to posts seen by The Independent. Such an action would expose any funds within a wallet, but it is not clear how many of the subscribers have fallen victim to the scam.

All of crypto currency is a scam. Just a way to launder drug money and hide assets from IRS.

I have no sympathy for them. The Orange Oaf has lowered standards regarding political races to an all time low. For a guy who is always touting his wealth and smarts, he's huckstering and hustling his flabby ass off, as all those legal bills are piling up!

You have to be a new kind of stupid or just insipidly stubborn not to see how the MAGA "base" is being played for ignorant doormats.
