Justin Sun Keeps Public Court Grip on Trump-Backed Crypto Venture
Justin Sun has won a key procedural battle against World Liberty Financial in court. The California judge rejected World Liberty's attempt to force all of Sun's claims behind closed doors, keeping his personal claims against the crypto venture in public federal court.
The ruling does not decide whether World Liberty acted illegally but keeps the most personal part of Sun's dispute in a public forum where future filings and evidence could face greater scrutiny. The case revolves around Sun's allegations that World Liberty secretly added controls to restrict or destroy tokens linked to him, which he claims were used against him.
Sun invested $45 million in WLFI during its early token sale and became one of the project's largest backers. He denies accusations from World Liberty that he improperly moved tokens and participated in activity designed to pressure WLFI's price.
