Tron founder Justin Sun said on Tuesday that he has sued World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency platform backed by the Trump family, to defend his “legal rights” as a WLFI token holder.
Sun filed the lawsuit in California federal court, saying he had “no choice.” In his filing, he said he tried to resolve the dispute with the World Liberty project team in good faith without litigation.
Sun said the team refused his requests to unfreeze his tokens and restore his rights as a token holder.
Sun also alleged that the team “threatened” to destroy his tokens by burning them.
Sun said the actions by World Liberty Financial contradict President Donald Trump’s values. He added that he does not believe Trump would condone the actions if he knew about them, and said he remains a supporter of Trump.
World Liberty Financial did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The lawsuit is the latest escalation in a feud between two influential groups in the cryptocurrency world. Sun has also criticized the firm’s latest governance proposal, calling it “tyranny” and describing it as a plan for “power consolidation.”
Sun’s wallet was blacklisted last year after a transfer of WLFI worth more than $9 million to an unknown address. As of the time of writing, Sun holds 544.71 million WLFI, worth $43.59 million, according to Arkham Intelligence.
World Liberty Financial has dismissed the allegations as “baseless” and threatened legal action. Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., who serve as co-founders, had not commented at the time of publication.
At the time of writing, WLFI was trading at $0.07925, up 0.92% over the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro.
