Things have escalated‼️


Justin Sun @justinsuntron has directly sued the crypto project WLFI associated with Donald Trump, with the core allegation being extortion.
According to the disclosed lawsuit documents, Justin Sun invested a total of $45 million between 2024 and 2025, purchasing approximately 3 billion WLFI tokens, and also received an additional 1 billion tokens as an advisor.
The trigger for the conflict is very straightforward.
He refused to continue investing, and the other party is accused of secretly freezing his token assets, resulting in losses worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
In simple terms, if you don’t keep investing, your previous chips get locked up.
More importantly, Sun Yuchen also mentioned in the lawsuit that the project itself might already be close to collapse, with a risk of insufficient stablecoin reserves.
Currently, this case has been filed in the United States Federal Court in San Francisco.
The nature of this matter is no longer just a regular dispute; from cooperation to falling out, and then to direct lawsuit, it involves a collision of capital, politics, and the crypto community.
If subsequent evidence is confirmed, the impact could go beyond just one project, potentially pushing the issue of “political figures involved in crypto projects” directly into the regulatory spotlight.
WLFI-3.05%
