🚨 A CIRCLE SHAREHOLDER JUST SUED PRESIDENT TRUMP
J. Benjamin Greenberg, a Circle shareholder, is suing Trump and World Liberty Financial, alleging violations of the Foreign Emoluments Clause through two UAE-linked deals: a $500M purchase of a 49% stake in World Liberty and MGX’s $2B investment in Binance using USD1.
