Trump-Linked Crypto Partners Abandoned Past Clients for MAGA-Backed Venture
Former operators of the defunct Dough Finance, Herro and Folkman, left hundreds of investors with millions in losses after a July 2024 hack drained funds—including $1 million from Miami trader Jonathan Lopez. The duo resurfaced with World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture now funneling capital to Trump-affiliated interests.
Dough’s collapse stemmed from exploitable code flaws, exposing high-risk strategies like "looping" that Herro personally promoted. "We get reward(s) for the risks we take," he told Lopez before the breach. The incident underscores recurring vulnerabilities in influencer-driven crypto schemes.
