A recent report reveals that the co-founders of World Liberty Financial (WLFI), Chase Herro and Zak Folkman, failed to reimburse clients of their previous venture, Dough Finance, following a $2.5 million cyber attack. Herro is now facing a lawsuit from a Dough investor seeking to recover their losses. While WLFI may have ties to the Trump family, the Trumps are not involved in this matter. It is hoped that this distinction will help facilitate a swift resolution.

The breach at Dough Finance in July 2024 resulted in the loss of $2.5 million, leading to the company's closure. Despite promises of repaying investors, the co-founders moved on to establish WLFI with little progress in refunding Dough's backers. Herro's recent $3 million investment in EOS tokens raises concerns as it surpasses the losses from the hack, and with WLFI's substantial market cap, the delay in repayment remains unclear.

Amidst legal actions, users have seen minimal reimbursements in DOUGH tokens, which now hold little value. The lawsuit against Chase Herro seeks to address the outstanding debt to Dough's investors. The trial is set for April 2026, but it is hoped that a settlement can be reached before then. While WLFI is associated with the Trump family, they are not implicated in this issue, potentially aiding in the resolution process for Herro and Folkman.
