Odaily Planet Daily News: Zak Folkman, co-founder of World Liberty Financial (WLFI), released a statement through X's official account, refuting a recent article by The Wall Street Journal that was "full of fiction, misleading, and politically biased." Folkman pointed out that the report aims to discredit honest entrepreneurial behavior through false narratives and insinuations. Folkman clarified that WLFI was established months before President Trump was re-elected. Ambassador Steve Witkoff is completely divesting his shares in WLFI and is not involved in the company's operations or financial decisions. He personally traveled to Pakistan to explore collaboration opportunities with private friend Bilal bin Saqib, a relationship that predates the so-called "Pakistan Crypto Committee" or the cryptocurrency headlines that the WSJ is attempting to portray, and CZ has not introduced them. WLFI has never discussed government business anywhere, nor has it coordinated with the U.S. government. The claim that WLFI's token sale allowed "undisclosed foreign influence" is false; each token sale complies with Reg D and Reg S regulations and KYC is conducted for every purchaser. Gentry Beach has no connection to WLFI. No one at WLFI claims that any transaction "may assist in the expansion plans of U.S. partners"; that quote is fictional. Zach Witkoff's assertion that President Trump is his "godfather" is absurd, as he, being Jewish, does not have godparents and would not say such things.
