Justin Sun sues Trump's crypto firm

The legal battle between Justin Sun and World Liberty Financial has escalated following claims of fraud and 'criminal extortion' by the crypto mogul.

Sun alleges that the Trump-backed venture installed tools to prevent the sale of his tokens after they became tradeable, causing him significant financial loss.

The lawsuit comes amid growing scrutiny of World Liberty Financial's operations and a lack of transparency reported by other early investors.

The Trump family has yet to issue a formal response to the allegations, which threaten to derail their latest business endeavor.
