TRON founder Justin Sun says, “The Trump family‑linked 🇺🇸World Liberty Financial ($WLFI) token contains an undisclosed #スマートコントラクト #バックドア that can unilaterally blacklist holders.”

Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, accuses the WLFI team of treating the “crypto community like a private ATM” and of hiding a blacklist function in the smart contract. After investing $75 million, his tokens were frozen for more than a year.
.

World Liberty Financial, or WLFI, is a DeFi project founded by the Trump family, launched in 2024, and has raised at least $550 million through token sales. Justin Sun is the largest investor, having put in roughly $75 million.
.

The issue started in 2025 when Sun’s wallet was blacklisted after a WLFI transfer of about $9 million between wallets. WLFI said this was part of freezing 272 wallets linked to attacks and high‑risk activity, but Sun rejected the allegation, calling it an abuse of power.
.

The freeze resulted in more than 545 million of Sun’s tokens being unable to be transferred or sold, and while WLFI’s price fell more than 74% from its peak, Bubblemaps estimates Sun’s cumulative loss at over $80 million.
.

On April 12, 2026, Sun issued a lengthy statement accusing WLFI of embedding a hidden blacklist function in the smart contract without disclosing it to investors, giving the team the power to freeze anyone’s tokens without justification or any governance process.
.

Sun also questioned WLFI’s governance voting process, saying it does not truly represent the community. For example, at the end of last year token holders voted almost unanimously to distribute tokens to Aave DAO, but WLFI ignored the vote.
.

The controversy coincides with other concerns about WLFI, such as WLFI using its own tokens worth $5 billion as collateral on Dolomite to borrow $75 million of stablecoins, temporarily preventing investors from withdrawing funds, and WLFI’s token simultaneously dropping more than 12%.
.

WLFI responded that the wallet freeze is a security measure for users, not a targeted action, and confirmed it is preparing a governance proposal to gradually unlock tokens for the first investors. Currently about 75% of WLFI’s supply remains locked.
.

What remains to be seen is whether WLFI will carry out the token unlock as promised and whether Sun will pursue legal action against WLFI.
