- WLFI and CZ deny allegations of secret coordination during WLFI’s Pakistan trip
- No evidence supports claims of foreign policy discussions or Binance involvement
- Media continues to push anti-crypto narratives as the space expands globally
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is the latest crypto project dragged into controversy after a Wall Street Journal article suggested shady backchannel talks with Pakistan — allegedly brokered by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ).
The story? That CZ helped WLFI open political doors during a trip to Pakistan. The claim? That WLFI may have discussed U.S. foreign policy. The evidence? Practically none.
WLFI called it fiction. CZ said it was bait. And if you’ve been around crypto long enough, you’ve seen this pattern before.
Another hit piece from Wall Street Journal. WSJ instead of doing journalism, has pretty much resorted to Cunningham’s Law, with negative intentions.

"Cunningham's Law: The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."…
Let’s be real: meeting with a Pakistani crypto advisor who’s also a personal friend isn’t exactly espionage. No one discussed U.S. policy, no one acted as a “fixer,” and once again, a media outlet tried to frame crypto expansion as something darker.
This isn’t about Pakistan. Or WLFI. It’s about legacy media clashing with a space that refuses to play by old rules.
And every time that happens, it’s always the same story: doubt, deflect, discredit.
