$75 million bought an unfollow
Sun Yuchen and the Trump family’s plastic friendship shattered before a unfollow button.
$BTC
Little Donald Trump pressed “Unfollow.” WLFI co-founder Zak Folkman also followed suit. The timing was more synchronized than the New Year’s countdown. This was probably the most coordinated move since Little Donald joined WLFI.

Sun Yuchen doesn’t owe money. He just sued WLFI in the California federal court, with a 52-page complaint accusing them of extortion.
Then Eric Trump came out to mock him. Saying Sun Yuchen’s lawsuit was “more absurd than spending six million dollars to buy a banana stuck on the wall.”
That banana was actually taken by Sun Yuchen himself. He called it art at the time. Now people are mocking him over it, turning it into a weapon.
WLFI’s response: “We have a contract. We have evidence. We know the truth. See you in court.”
Sun Yuchen claims to be a “strategic advisor” for the project. WLFI denied it, saying Sun Yuchen has never held any operational position in the company.
He initially spent $45 million to buy tokens and received an advisory title. Now that identity has been completely stripped away—the promise they signed in black and white has become worthless.
The $75 million was what Sun Yuchen paid as “protection money.” The SEC paused its lawsuit against him, at the cost of him supporting WLFI’s platform. Now that the support is used up, unfollowing is the cheapest way to break up.
But the most ironic thing is, Sun Yuchen knew what kind of partners he was dealing with all along. In his complaint, he wrote: WLFI treats the crypto community as a “cash machine”—secretly implanting backdoors to control user assets and freezing investors’ funds without proper procedures.
He personally crafted this “cash withdrawal myth.” And then the myth tore apart all involved—including himself.
Spending money, supporting, being blacklisted. This “century marriage” ended with an unfollow, more real than any statement.
For the Trump family, Sun Yuchen is now a hot potato—too famous to disappear quietly; too “cheap” to be taken seriously.
Unfollowing is the simplest “household chore” they can do.
