Justin Sun applies for sanctions against Trump's WLFI... "Hid nationality to avoid jurisdiction"

Justin Sun, founder of Tron, filed a sanctions motion against World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the digital-asset project tied to President Trump’s family, and its litigation counsel, alleging the company misrepresented its corporate nationality to escape U.S. federal court jurisdiction. The dispute centers on WLFI initially declaring itself a U.S. company in early litigation filings before disclosing months later its ties to the United Arab Emirates. Sun argues the equity structure was revealed belatedly specifically to avoid federal jurisdiction, according to CoinDesk and The Block, which reported the filing on the 3rd. The motion matters because it tests whether WLFI’s jurisdictional posture—and by extension the Trump-linked venture’s legal exposure in U.S. courts—can be challenged before the case proceeds on the merits. Watch for the court’s ruling on the sanctions request and whether it forces WLFI to clarify its ownership and domicile structure.
