World Liberty Hits Back at Justin Sun's Defamation Allegations, Citing 'Misconduct'
A dramatic turn of events has unfolded as Eric Trump, co-founder of World Liberty, has shifted from previously expressing admiration for Justin Sun to now likening a lawsuit filed by Sun to a notorious piece of art - a $6 million banana duct-taped to a wall. This comes after Sun filed a complaint accusing World Liberty of unlawfully freezing approximately four billion $WLFI tokens, valued at around $1 billion. World Liberty's informal response labels the suit as a 'desperate' attempt to deflect attention from Sun's own alleged wrongdoing, with co-founder Zach Witkoff accusing Sun of misconduct, though specifics were not provided. The firm has expressed confidence in the meritlessness of Sun's claims and looks forward to the case being dismissed. The lawsuit itself details various accusations World Liberty allegedly made against Sun, including blame for a significant price drop of $WLFI and claims of short-selling, all of which Sun denies. World Liberty also reportedly objected to Sun's purchase of $100 million in $TRUMP tokens and accused him of violating his token purchase agreement, allegations Sun disputes. As the legal battle unfolds, World Liberty has yet to formally respond to Sun's suit, but the war of words continues, with both sides presenting starkly different narratives.
