Trump-Linked Crypto Venture Uses Web Privacy Service Linked to Russian Hackers

Source: Newsweek

The website of a cryptocurrency venture promoted by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump uses an anonymous privacy service that has been previously linked to Russian cybercriminals, Newsweek has found.

World Liberty Financials' website is registered to a domain host that provides privacy solutions via Withheld for Privacy, a service based in Iceland that allows websites to hide the details of their domains.

Withheld for Privacy is rated as "Suspicious" by Dutch scam identifier website ScamAdviser.

1. Another one of his get-rich-quick schemes

2. He loves the concept that he'll be screwing all those banks who refused to loan him $ that he wasn't going to pay back.
