Explosion! Sun Yuchen angrily sues Trump's team, 52-page complaint uncovers 4 devastating details—Will $WLFI go to zero?
First, the conclusion: Sun Yuchen didn’t play it safe this time; he directly released a 52-page lawsuit, thoroughly exposing World Liberty Financial. Do you think it’s a business dispute? No, it’s fraud, theft, tax evasion, and illegal operations—each one enough to kill this project.
The first bombshell in the lawsuit: co-founder Chase Herro, this guy is a professional scammer. In 2010, someone built a website called ChaseHeroScam.com to criticize him, and courts issued four tax liens against him, with his Florida house forcibly seized. Even more outrageous, he publicly boasted about visiting Epstein’s Little Saint James Island—that notorious sex offender. Sun Yuchen included all of this in the lawsuit.
The second detail reveals real fear: World Liberty secretly modified the $WLFI smart contract. The originally agreed governance rights were minimal, just for technical upgrades voting. But last year, they secretly upgraded twice, granting themselves the power to freeze and seize $WLFI tokens—without notifying any holders. They used the “blacklist” function in the code to directly freeze Sun Yuchen’s tokens. This isn’t decentralization; it’s dictatorship.
The third detail involves Trump himself. Sun Yuchen bought $100 million worth of $TRUMP meme tokens, and World Liberty used this as a reason to target him. But the lawsuit states that this transaction “was approved in advance by a member of the Trump family,” who is also a partner of World Liberty. So, is buying tokens wrong, or did they just not listen to them?
The fourth, more severe issue: illegal currency transfer activities. Last year, two crypto developers were sentenced for unlicensed transfers. Sun Yuchen pointed out that World Liberty’s contract allows them to transfer tokens on behalf of others, which constitutes money transmission—unregistered, unlicensed, violating federal and state laws. If proven, criminal charges are imminent.
What does the market think? World Liberty’s CEO Zach Witkoff said this is “a desperate attempt to divert attention,” while Herro simply reposted a poem. But data doesn’t lie: a 52-page lawsuit, with each accusation backed by time, location, and evidence. This isn’t empty talk; it’s hard proof.
For retail investors, what should you care about? $WLFI tokens are still trading, but governance rights have been usurped, and the contract can freeze your assets at any time. Is this DeFi? No, it’s a black box. More critically, how deep is the Trump family involved? If investigations expand, the entire ecosystem could be implicated.
Advice: stay away from $WLFI, and reevaluate the risks of any tokens related to this project. The legal battle has just begun, but panic is already spreading.
