Justin Sun, founder of Tron, has filed a lawsuit against World Liberty Financial, accusing the firm of improperly freezing his tokens and threatening to burn them without valid justification.
The case was filed in a California federal court, with Sun stating the legal action was necessary to protect his rights as a token holder. According to Sun, he attempted to resolve the issue privately but was unsuccessful after repeated requests to unfreeze his tokens were denied. He emphasized that the lawsuit is focused on restoring access to his holdings rather than targeting broader political interests.
Governance Transparency Concerns Raised
Sun is reported to be the largest individual investor in World Liberty Financial. Earlier this month, he publicly criticized the project’s governance structure, citing concerns over lengthy lockup periods tied to the WLFI governance token. He also questioned voting transparency, noting that more than 76% of voting power in a recent proposal appeared to originate from just 10 wallets, raising concerns about centralized influence.
The World Liberty Financial team dismissed Sun’s claims, describing them as baseless and asserting that contractual evidence supports its actions. The dispute is expected to be settled through legal proceedings.
Sun Maintains Support for Pro-Crypto Policies
Despite the legal battle, Sun clarified that the lawsuit does not affect his support for Donald Trump or the administration’s efforts to promote a crypto-friendly regulatory environment. He suggested that disagreements stem from project management decisions rather than broader policy direction.
