UK Money Laundering Suspect Linked to $100M Trump Crypto Purchase

A former UK money laundering suspect has been linked to a significant purchase of tokens from a Trump family company. According to a New York Times report, Guren Zhou, also known as Bobby, was behind the Aqua 1 entity that bought $100 million worth of WLFI tokens from World Liberty Financial in June 2025.

The token purchase financially benefited members of US President Donald Trump's family and that of World Liberty co-founder Zach Witkoff. The source of the investment from Aqua 1, described as a 'Web3-native fund' based in the United Arab Emirates, has raised questions about potential conflicts of interest in the Trump administration.

Zhou's reported involvement in the World Liberty purchase is notable given his past run-in with the law. He was arrested in the UK in 2021 for suspected money laundering and the collapse of a multimillion-dollar crypto business he launched.
