King Midas of Corruption

When everything you touch turns to gold, you eventually starve.

But corruption endures — etched forever in gold.

“Midas swelled with pride… until even his food hardened into golden ice.”

However, Considering the feast, starvation does not seem imminent

Binance was the first foreign exchange to pilot WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin.

Now, the rails reopen.
CZ walks free. Binance breathes again. WLFI profits flow.

By market close, WLFI’s ledger recorded roughly $12.6M in new transactional income—the first measurable pardon profit in U.S. financial history.

Yesterday, Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (“CZ”).

Within hours, WLFI’s token rallied 15%. That’s not retail hype — that’s profit realization.
The pardon wasn’t mercy. It was maintenance.

Power laundering itself, in real time.

Watching the East Wing of the White House torn down to build a golden ballroom feels almost scripted. The destruction of democracy — as performance art.

The King Midas of Corruption still wants everything he touches to shine.

🚨 Breaking: Trump Pardons Binance Founder CZ 🚨

Financial Times confirms it: Trump has officially pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) — the man who pled guilty to money-laundering violations in 2023 and paid $4.3 billion in fines.

WLFireside @wlfireside.bsky.social · 1d

@warren.senate.gov this is absurd!

WLFireside @wlfireside.bsky.social · 1d

The “war on crypto” isn’t over.
It’s been won by the side that built the rails.

This is the network closing its loop:
✅ Binance → WLFI
✅ WLFI → Treasury
✅ Treasury → Pardon

The empire just legalized its own getaway car.

WLFI readers will recognize the name.
Binance helped route WLFI’s earliest USD1 stablecoin deals — including the Emirati MGX investment that seeded WLFI’s global liquidity.

This isn’t a crypto story.
It’s a power story.
The empire’s mint now mints itself.

The King’s Treasury Shakes

WLFI didn’t lose its vault — it seized it.
Eric Trump’s name disappears from the board.
His network takes the chair.
And the treasury keeps humming.
Not chaos. Not collapse.
Control.

WLFireside @wlfireside.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, and buried in the fine print?
Alt5’s Canadian arm was convicted in Rwanda for money laundering and “illicit enrichment.”
You can’t make this up.
Same playbook: offshore risk, move the money, deny the jurisdiction.

1

WLFireside @wlfireside.bsky.social · 1d

Translation: WLFI can now fund its own treasury through Alt5’s Nasdaq shell.
The empire just built a feedback loop.
A self-financing ouroboros.
Control disguised as compliance.

WLFireside @wlfireside.bsky.social · 1d

They call it “temporary.”
But the timing screams takeover.
The board promoted CFO Jonathan Hugh — one of WLFI’s most loyal architects — days before massive share expansion:
200M ➜ 2 BILLION authorized.
Plus 119M new shares tied to WLFI itself.

WLFireside @wlfireside.bsky.social · 1d

Alt5 isn’t a “partner.”
It’s the treasury.
Where USD1 stablecoins meet real-world liquidity — the bridge between speculation and dollars.
And now the bridgekeeper’s been replaced.

🚨 ALT5 SHAKEUP 🚨
The vault behind World Liberty Financial just cracked.
Alt5 Sigma — WLFI’s liquidity engine — suspended its CEO without explanation.
No scandal pretext. No reason. Just gone.
What’s really happening behind the marble?

But make no mistake—the reaction from the palace is silence. Hubris. The King does not answer questions from the peasants.

It took less than a year for the empire to grow from an obscure “people’s coin” to a federally acknowledged risk to democracy and finance.

For the first time, the institutions of power have spoken the words World Liberty Financial aloud.

Conclusive review of recent reporting. Which one are you? A citizen, a researcher, or a reader?

WLFireside.substack.com and the 📘 WLFI: We’ve Lost Financial Indepwndence are my answer to this question: But what can *I* do?

WLFireside @wlfireside.bsky.social · 2d

Oversight or validation? Once Washington names WLFI “system-critical,” scandal becomes necessity.
The King governs by liquidity. The peasants pay in fees.

At the same time, Sen. Elizabeth Warren is taking aim at Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and the “GENIUS Act” — the law that effectively legalized WLFI.
She’s naming what others won’t: a government now indistinguishable from the companies it regulates.

8 senators have called out Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff—co-founder of WLFI—for failing to divest from crypto entities still tied to his office.
While he “represents” America abroad, his company negotiates billion-dollar deals with the U.A.E.
The rails we mapped months ago are now congressional record
