Justin Sun Sues Trump Crypto Firm
The lawsuit, filed in a San Francisco federal court, accuses World Liberty Financial and its co-founders of 'criminal extortion.' Sun claims he purchased forty-five million dollars worth of tokens that were subsequently blocked from sale through secretly installed tools.
The crypto entrepreneur was once a prominent backer of the project, but the relationship has soured amid allegations of a lack of transparency.
World Liberty Financial is already under scrutiny from other investors who have raised similar concerns about the company’s management.
The legal battle highlights the growing tensions within the Trump family’s latest business endeavor.
