Justin Sun, the creator of the Tron blockchain, has initiated legal action against World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency firm backed by members of former U.S. President Donald Trump's family. The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday, accuses World Liberty of unlawfully freezing Sun's $WLFI tokens and making fraudulent claims regarding their value and associated rights. Sun invested $45 million in 2024 based on the project's association with the Trump family and its promises to promote decentralized finance. However, tensions escalated when World Liberty demanded further investments and changes to its stablecoin, leading to alleged threats against Sun. The lawsuit claims that World Liberty centralized control over the tokens and modified the smart contract to enable the freezing of tokens without proper governance. Sun's legal team has highlighted that parts of the lawsuit are redacted due to confidentiality provisions. In a statement, Sun expressed his desire for fair treatment compared to other early investors. A spokesperson for World Liberty Financial declined to comment on the lawsuit.
