Cryptocurrency Scam Targets Trump Family
The Trump family found themselves in a rather embarrassing situation recently after two of their social media accounts were reportedly hacked by crypto scammers.
The Scam
On Tuesday, September 3rd, a post seemingly made by Lara Trump announced she was working on a new financial project called “World Liberty Financial”. The post claimed the project aimed to give Americans “full control of their finances with no single point of failure” by taking power away from centralized banks. A similar message was shared by Tiffany Trump, endorsing the project and praising her father and brother for their work in “decentralizing the financial world.”
The Truth
However, Eric Trump quickly jumped in to tell the public not to engage with the posts. He claimed that both Lara and Tiffany’s Twitter profiles had been compromised. An official account for World Liberty Financial also confirmed the hack, warning people not to click on any links or purchase any tokens shared from the compromised profiles.
The Aftermath
Following Eric’s frantic update, Trump critics flooded social media to mock the family, highlighting their past history of financial controversies. One user joked, “When your family’s grift game is so strong, people can’t tell if you’ve been hacked or just launched a new scam.”
The incident has sparked a wave of online commentary, with many questioning the Trump family’s involvement in the cryptocurrency space and whether the “hack” was a genuine incident or a clever attempt to generate buzz around the project.
The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of cryptocurrency scams and the importance of verifying information before investing in any project. Always be wary of any unsolicited offers or promises of high returns, and ensure you understand the risks involved before making any financial decisions.
