Summary
Details

They promised freedom. They delivered control.

In the summer of 2025, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) launched with the backing of the Trump family, Wall Street insiders, and a billion-dollar acquisition that shocked global markets. Branded as the people's answer to a failing financial system, WLFI quickly revealed itself as something else entirely: a private central bank in the making, complete with its own stablecoin (USD1), blacklists, and global political ambitions.

WLFI: We've Lost Financial Independence-a biography of the World Liberty Financial Grift-pulls readers into the chaotic rise of the Trump-backed token shaking the global economy. What began as a slick campaign of scarcity-16 billion tokens, a story investors could believe-mutated overnight into a 100 billion-token empire, with Donald J. Trump himself holding billions in personal stake.

Through meticulous research and sharp storytelling, the book exposes:

The hidden mechanics of WLFI: token unlock cycles, blacklists, buyback schemes, and the quiet control of Alt5's $1.5 billion treasury. The role of USD1, the ""stablecoin"" that isn't so stable-churning volume, feeding liquidity into WLFI, and creating a perpetual motion machine of profit for insiders. The political cover, from bills like the GENIUS Act, CLARITY, and the Anti-CBDC push that cleared the legal path for private money to replace public oversight. The grift itself: how retail investors lose while bots, whales, and insiders extract value in real time.

Equal parts exposé and thriller, this book is for readers who devour Michael Lewis, Ben Mezrich, or anyone trying to understand the dangerous intersection of politics, crypto, and power.

Whether you're an investor, a skeptic, or simply curious about how money works in the shadows, WLFI: We've Lost Financial Independence is more than a story-it's a warning.
