The Trump family is at odds with Justin Sun! Tron founder Justin Sun officially sued World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi project backed by the Trump family, yesterday, alleging that his tokens were frozen due to a "backdoor blacklist." In response, Trump's second son, Eric Trump, strongly defended his team today (22nd), not only forwarding the CEO's counterattack post but also mocking Sun's lawsuit as "more absurd than spending $6 million to buy a banana stuck to the wall." (Background: Justin Sun officially sues World Liberty Financial: 595 million WLFI frozen without cause, governance proposal is a trap) (Background supplement: Justin Sun clashes with Trump family's DeFi: WLFI is a centralized governance black box, $75M frozen and unable to vote) The two most eye-catching figures in the cryptocurrency circle - Justin Sun and the Trump family - have officially evolved from a honeymoon period of heavy investment into a century-long battle in court. On April 21, 2026, US time, Justin Sun, founder of Tron, officially filed a lawsuit in a California federal court against World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi platform backed by the Trump family. Faced with the legal action of its former "biggest financier," the WLFI team not only did not back down, but instead launched a full-scale attack of ridicule. Eric Trump joined the fray: the lawsuit is as absurd as "a $6 million banana." After Justin Sun filed the lawsuit, Zach Witkoff, co-founder and CEO of WLFI, was the first to respond on X (formerly Twitter), directly stating that Justin Sun's accusations were completely unfounded and merely an attempt to divert attention from his own "misconduct," emphasizing that the team would do everything in its power to protect users. Subsequently, Eric Trump, Trump's second son, quoted Zach's tweet today (April 22) and mocked Justin Sun: "The only thing more ridiculous than this lawsuit is spending $6 million on a banana duct-taped to a wall. We are incredibly proud of the @worldlibertyfi team…" https://t.co/ahfBKvCdwN — Eric Trump (@EricTrump) April 22, 2026 $75 Million Fury: Why Did Justin Sun File a Lawsuit?The seeds of this conflict were sown as early as the end of last year. Justin Sun, an early and largest external investor in WLFI, pledged approximately $75 million. However, he alleges that his WLFI holdings were "frozen without warning" by the project team after the tokens became tradable in September 2025. According to the lawsuit, Sun makes several serious accusations against WLFI: Smart contract backdoor: He alleges that WLFI secretly implanted a "backdoor blacklisting function" in its contract, which could unilaterally freeze or even permanently burn investors' tokens, completely violating the decentralized spirit of Web3. Deprivation of governance voting rights: The freezing of his tokens deprived him of his due protocol governance rights. Extortion and pressure: He claims that the project team exerted undue pressure on him, even demanding that he promote WLFI's stablecoin USD1 on the Tron network. Token Misappropriation and Cash-Out: Criticisms leveled at the project team for using a large amount of WLFI tokens as collateral to lend approximately $75 million in stablecoins on the DeFi platform Dolomite, treating investors like "personal ATMs," and for proposing unreasonable token unlocking proposals. WLFI Responds Strongly: See You in Court. Faced with Justin Sun's barrage of accusations, the WLFI team displayed remarkable resilience. The team insisted that freezing Sun's tokens was a legitimate act of self-defense to "protect the project and users," implying that Sun's actions had harmed the project. The project team recently publicly retorted on social media: "We have contracts, we have evidence, we have the truth. See you in court, buddy." This lawsuit, involving massive sums of money, the Trump family's political influence, and the conflict between "decentralization and actual control," has become the most high-profile legal battle in the crypto market this year. Both sides are currently sticking to their stories, and the revelation of evidence in court is bound to create even greater waves.
