Tools for Humanity, the company behind Sam Altman’s Orb-based Worldcoin project, faced two internal investigations over alleged financial irregularities, Thailand operations and possible foreign-bribery concerns. The allegations were detailed in a Business Insider investigation, which said the company hired O’Melveny & Myers and Sidley Austin in 2025 to review concerns tied to its international rollout. Tools for Humanity is the main developer behind World, formerly known as Worldcoin, whose Orb devices scan users’ irises to issue World IDs and distribute access to the WLD token.
