According to Reuters, in July 2024, the Dough Finance platform was attacked by hackers due to a vulnerability, resulting in user asset losses of approximately $2.5 million. Although co-founders Chase Herro and Zak Folkman promised to compensate for the losses, the two later launched a new encryption project, World Liberty Financial, which generated at least $65 million in revenue. Dough user Jonathan Lopez sued Herro, accusing him of fraud and breach of fiduciary duty, seeking damages. The Dough website is now closed, having recovered only about $281,000, and issued tokens of no actual value as compensation.
