Justin Sun Sues World Liberty Financial for $276 Million
Justin Sun filed a federal lawsuit against Trump-affiliated World Liberty Financial, alleging the company froze his accounts and stripped his voting rights.
Crypto billionaire Justin Sun filed a federal lawsuit in California on April 21, 2026, against World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a cryptocurrency project affiliated with the Trump family. Sun alleges that the company froze his account in September 2025 and stripped his voting rights after he refused to purchase $200 million in stablecoins and promote them on his Tron network.
Sun, who invested approximately $75 million in WLFI tokens, claims the company's actions resulted in estimated losses of $276 million following price declines. The dispute arises after a period where Sun served as a major backer of the project shortly after Donald Trump's election victory and the settlement of a separate SEC fraud case involving Sun.
World Liberty Financial denied the allegations. CEO Zach Witkoff described the claims as entirely meritless, and the company has threatened to file its own lawsuit against Sun in response.
