He also claimed that \u201cWorld Liberty is on the verge of collapse,\u201d raising concerns about whether the project has enough reserves to back its USD1 stablecoin.<\/p>\n<p>In the filing, Sun <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-04-22\/crypto-billionaire-sues-trump-linked-project-alleging-extortion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly<\/a> says that his relationship with WLFI\u2019s team soured mid-last year after he declined to provide more investment and support to the project, specifically the USD1 stablecoin.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, he claimed that World Liberty Financial privately blamed him for the WLFI\u2019s 40% price crash on its launch, leading to his address <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/wlfi-token-controversy-justin-sun-denies-selling-rumors-following-address-blacklist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blacklist<\/a> on September 4, 2025.<\/p>\n<h2>Eric Trump Takes A Jab At Sun<\/h2>\n<p>The Tron founder <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/justinsuntron\/status\/2046787043557244983?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">affirmed<\/a> on X that he had tried to resolve the situation privately, but that \u201ccertain individuals on the World Liberty project team have been operating the project in a manner that goes against President Trump\u2019s values,\u201d leaving him \u201cno choice but to turn to the courts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>World Liberty Financial co-founders Eric Trump and Zack Witkoff publicly responded to Justin Sun\u2019s lawsuit, dismissing his complaint and taking a jab at the Tron founder.<\/p>\n<p>In an X post, Eric Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EricTrump\/status\/2046973759794385243?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discredited<\/a> him, arguing that the only thing \u201cmore ridiculous than this lawsuit is spending $6 million on a banana duct-taped to a wall,\u201d referencing Sun\u2019s notorious purchase of Maurizio Cattelan\u2019s banana artwork in late 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Some online users pointed out the shift in their relationship, noting Trump\u2019s second son had praised Sun less than a year ago.
