According to reports from Wu, in July 2024, Dough Finance was attacked by hackers due to a vulnerability, resulting in user losses of approximately $2.5 million. Although the founder promised to compensate for the losses, he subsequently launched a new project, World Liberty Financial, which made at least $65 million in profit. Dough user Jonathan Lopez has sued founder Chase Herro, accusing him of fraud and breach of trust, seeking damages. The Dough website has been shut down, recovering only about $281,000, and issued tokens of no actual value as compensation.
