Justin Sun files lawsuit accusing Trump-linked World Liberty Financial of freezing WLFI tokens, burn threats and blocking governance

Tron founder Justin Sun has filed a lawsuit against World Liberty Financial, alleging the project unfairly froze his WLFI tokens and threatened to burn them, and that the freeze deprived him of governance rights tied to the tokens ^{[1] [2]}.

World Liberty — described in several reports as a Trump‑linked or Trump‑backed crypto project — is accused in Sun’s complaint of imposing token lockups and governance restrictions that prompted the legal challenge ^{[1] [3] [4]}.

According to coverage of the filings, Sun’s suit claims the project’s actions included threats to burn his WLFI holdings and limitations on his ability to participate in governance proposals, which he says caused him loss and injury ^{[2] [1] [5]}.
