The TRON founder accused the Trump-linked DeFi project of hiding a ‘trap door’ in its token contract.<\/p>\n
The long-simmering conflict between TRON founder Justin Sun and World Liberty Financial (WLFI) erupted into an all-out public war on Sunday, with both sides hurling accusations on X.<\/p>\n
Sun, who invested $75 million<\/a> in the DeFi venture affiliated with the Trump family, published a lengthy statement accusing WLFI of embedding a hidden blacklisting function in the WLFI token smart contract, a mechanism he said gives the project “unilateral power to freeze, restrict, and effectively confiscate the property rights of any token holder, without notice, without cause, and without recourse.”<\/p>\n “This is a trap door marketed as an open door,” Sun wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n The dispute dates back to September 2025<\/a>, when WLFI blacklisted a wallet containing more than 500 million of Sun’s WLFI tokens after on-chain analysts flagged transfers routed through HTX, Sun\u2019s crypto exchange.<\/p>\n WLFI responded within hours, dismissing Sun’s allegations and threatening legal action.<\/p>\n “Justin’s favorite move is playing the victim while making baseless allegations to cover up his own misconduct,” the project’s official account posted<\/a>. “We have the contracts. We have the evidence. We have the truth. See you in court pal.”<\/p>\n Sun fired back minutes later, demanding<\/a> that whoever was operating the account identify themselves. “As the largest investor in this project, I demand that those responsible come forward by name, instead of hiding in the shadows.”<\/p>\n
