Despite having been found liable for decades of #fraud, the #TrumpOrganization & #SaudiArabia developer #DarGlobal are looking to open the latest #Trump hotel in the Maldives.

The project will be the second Trump-branded development in the kingdom after the launch of Trump Tower Jeddah last year, Dar Global said.

The #Trump family raked in more than $800 million from sales of #crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash has come from #foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons have touted their business on an international investor roadshow.

In response to a Reuters request, #Aqua1Foundation last month provided an unsigned statement, saying: “At this stage, we are not disclosing additional information beyond what has been publicly shared.”

Yet a review by Reuters of corporate registries, #Aqua1Foundation’s digital profile & other public information reveal almost nothing about the source of its capital or the person it named as its founding partner, #DaveLee.

Of all the riddles wrapped in the digital wallets sending funds to #Trump’s #WorldLibertyFinancial #crypto business, a little-known entity last month became the biggest.

A venture calling itself #Aqua1Foundation & saying it is based in the #UAE announced in late June it had bought $100 million worth of World Liberty’s crypto tokens, becoming the largest publicly known investor in the business.
