An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Investigate $100 Million Investment in Trump Crypto! Is it Money Laundering?

268 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

I am writing to urge you to initiate a formal congressional investigation into President Trump's financial dealings with Guren "Bobby" Zhou and his $100 million investment in World Liberty Financial, the President's cryptocurrency venture. The circumstances surrounding this transaction raise serious constitutional and ethical concerns. Mr. Zhou has a documented history of financial fraud, failed business ventures, and is currently under active investigation in Britain for money laundering since 2021. Despite these red flags, he mysteriously acquired $100 million and funneled it through a shell company called Aqua 1 directly to the Trump family's crypto business. Approximately $75 million of this sum was distributed to entities controlled by the President and his three sons. This arrangement appears to violate the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, which prohibits the President from accepting gifts or payments from foreign sources without congressional consent. Regardless of Mr. Zhou's current citizenship status, the source and nature of his funds remain unexplained. The use of cryptocurrency and anonymous transactions to obscure the money's origins compounds these concerns. Most troubling is the absence of scrutiny. International anti-money laundering laws classify sitting presidents as "politically exposed persons" requiring the highest level of regulatory oversight. Yet World Liberty Financial appears to have accepted this massive investment with minimal due diligence, despite Mr. Zhou's publicly available history of deception and alleged criminal activity. We must ask: What political favors or preferential treatment did Mr. Zhou and his associates receive in exchange for this multimillion-dollar transfer? Did the Trump administration provide any assistance to his cryptocurrency ventures or other business interests? Has Mr. Zhou or his companies received any government contracts, regulatory exemptions, or other benefits? The integrity of our financial system and the rule of law depend on holding all citizens—including the President—accountable to the Constitution. I respectfully demand that Congress launch a comprehensive investigation into these transactions, examine World Liberty Financial's compliance procedures, and determine whether any quid pro quo arrangements were made. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
