$100 Million Crypto Investment Exposed: Mystery Figure Behind Trump Project Revealed
A New York Times investigation has shed light on the mysterious figure behind a $100 million investment in Donald Trump's crypto project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI). The control of Aqua 1, the company that funneled the funds into the project in June 2025, lies with Chinese businessman Guren 'Bobby' Zhou.
Zhou has been linked to market manipulation allegations in the past. He previously managed the United Arab Emirates operations for Web3Port and is accused of conducting illicit market-making activities across various token projects, including MOVE, GoPlus (GPS), and MyShell (SHELL).
The investment may have earned Donald Trump and his three sons approximately $75 million through revenue-sharing agreements.
