World Liberty Hits Back at Justin Sun, Alleging 'Misconduct' Amid Defamation Row

A dramatic turn of events has unfolded as World Liberty Financial claps back at Tron founder Justin Sun, accusing him of 'misconduct' in response to a defamation lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of California, alleged that World Liberty illegally froze approximately four billion $WLFI tokens valued at around $1 billion. World Liberty's co-founder, Zach Witkoff, dismissed the suit as a 'desperate' deflection, pledging to continue safeguarding its users. Meanwhile, Eric Trump, a co-founder, took a jibe at Sun's lawsuit, saying it's even more ridiculous than spending $6 million on a banana duct-taped to a wall. Sun's complaint claimed that World Liberty made unsubstantiated accusations against him, including blaming him for the 40% price crash of $WLFI on its first trading day and accusing him of short-selling perpetual futures. World Liberty also allegedly objected to Sun's $100 million purchase of $TRUMP tokens and accused him of violating his token purchase agreement. The company has yet to file a formal response to the lawsuit.
