Justin Sun sues Trump's WLFI
The lawsuit claims that World Liberty Financial installed tools to block the sale of Sun's tokens after they became tradeable, resulting in a loss of $276 million.
Sun, who spent $45 million on the venture's tokens, is demanding that his assets be unfrozen and his voting rights restored.
The legal action adds to the mounting scrutiny of the Trump family's crypto project, which has faced complaints regarding a lack of transparency.
World Liberty Financial has not yet issued a formal response to the allegations.
