World Liberty Hits Back at Justin Sun Over 'Misconduct' Allegations
In a dramatic turn of events, Eric Trump has gone from praising Justin Sun on social media to likening his lawsuit to a notorious $6 million banana art piece. The lawsuit, filed by Sun, accuses World Liberty Financial of unlawfully freezing approximately four billion $WLFI tokens valued at around $1 billion. In response, World Liberty has dismissed the suit as a 'desperate' attempt to deflect attention from Sun's alleged misconduct. The company's co-founder, Zach Witkoff, has pledged to continue protecting users, while Eric Trump has taken to social media to express his disdain for the lawsuit. The details of Sun's alleged misconduct remain unclear, with neither Trump nor the company providing further clarification. The complaint filed by Sun alleges that World Liberty made unsubstantiated accusations against him, including claims that he was responsible for a 40% price crash of the $WLFI token and that he engaged in short-selling perpetual futures on a centralized exchange. Sun has denied these allegations, stating that they are false and lack evidence. The case is ongoing, with World Liberty yet to file a formal response to the lawsuit.
