That agreement gave the Emirati-backed firm a 49% stake in #WorldLibertyFinancial. 2 top lieutenants to the UAE’s government #NationalSecurity adviser, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, joined the board of World Liberty.

Asked about the terms of the deal, including the board seats, the timing & the size of the investment, Wachsman said, “We made the deal in question because we strongly believe that it was what was best for our company as we continue to grow.”
