World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency project backed by Donald Trump and his sons, appears to have launched, though the website has struggled under the initial load, repeatedly going offline. Blockchain data suggests that the token currently has over 2,900 holders, and 0x5be9a4959308A0D0c7bC0870E319314d8D957dBB, an address that seems to be a multisignature wallet for this project, holds approximately $3.7 million in ether, $1.2 million in tether, and $240,000 worth of USDC.  It was previously reported that over 100,000 investors had provided the documents required to be placed on the whitelist ahead of the token’s launch.

Top Gear’s Clarkson and May brand crypto scam ads as ‘balls’

Former Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson and James May have denounced as “balls” a series of crypto scam ads using their names, and have encouraged fans to “say b*****ks to it” and go to the pub.  May raised the issue on Saturday after a series of paid-for adverts appeared on X (formerly Twitter), directing users to a fake BBC article bearing his name. The article contains a fabricated interview with supposed quotes from May designed to trick readers into believing they were missing out on a lucrative investment opportunity. To join the scheme via the suspicious Crypto platform Immediate Chain, users must pay a £250 signup fee. The fake article reports on a made-up interview before linking to the fraudulent crypto site.
