World Liberty Financial has filed a defamation lawsuit against Justin Sun regarding his claims about the project's token freeze procedures.Summary
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has sued TRON founder Justin Sun in Florida for defamation, alleging he launched a smear campaign against the Trump-backed DeFi project. The lawsuit claims Sun knowingly spread false information regarding the project's authority to freeze assets and engaged in unauthorized straw purchases. This legal action follows a long-standing dispute that began when WLFI blacklisted Sun's wallet and froze 540 million tokens after flagging suspicious transfers. While Sun previously sued WLFI in California, alleging unfair censorship, WLFI's new filing seeks compensatory damages and a formal retraction to protect its reputation.
