World Liberty Financial,?a Trump family crypto venture, is facing an investor revolt that includes billionaire backer Justin Sun, who accused the project of secretly building controls that let insiders freeze token holders¡¯ funds.
Sun, who poured tens of millions of dollars into World Liberty, called the project ¡°a trap masquerading as a door¡± in a post on X on Sunday.
His denunciation adds to mounting criticism over a move by the project to deposit its own WLFI tokens as collateral on a lending platform and borrow $75 million against them. Critics say the maneuver could let World Liberty extract cash before a wave of tokens are unlocked, flooding the market with new supply.
