Justin Sun Says World Liberty Financial Lawsuit Targets Protocol Misconduct, Not Trump or His Crypto Policy

Tron founder Justin Sun confirmed at the Inside the Blockchain 100 event at Binance Square that he has filed a lawsuit against World Liberty Financial in the Northern District of California, while stressing that the action is directed at specific conduct by the project's team and carries no implication for his support of President Trump or the current administration's pro-crypto policy stance. According to Tron founder Justin Sun at Inside the Blockchain 100, Sun cited two core grievances: first, the protocol secretly added a blacklist without disclosing it to the community; second, the project's governance voting mechanism froze large token holders from participating and imposed permanent token lockups on anyone voting against its proposals. Sun said both practices violate DeFi principles and called on the team to remove the backdoors, unlock affected holders, and allow open governance votes, adding that he views the dispute as resolvable and not the "major conflict" some observers have characterized it as.
