Justin Sun Sues Trump Crypto Firm
Billionaire crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun has launched a legal battle against the Trump family's World Liberty Financial.
The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday, claims that the venture secretly installed tools to prevent Sun from selling his tokens after they became tradable in September 2025.
Sun alleges that the company attempted to extort more money from him and has caused him significant financial losses by locking him out of assets worth up to $1 billion.
This escalating feud marks a major rift between the Trump project and one of its most prominent early backers.
