Detailed interpretation of the causes and consequences of WLFI's lawsuit against Sun Yuchen (hereinafter referred to as Sun) Everyone knows about the lawsuit, but I believe many of you may not have a detailed understanding of the reasons behind it. Let me talk about the causes of this lawsuit and predict its consequences. Cause (all content comes from WLFI's complaint, I do not make a judgment on the authenticity of the complaint content): On November 25, 2024, Sun purchased 2 billion non transferable WLFI tokens through its wholly-owned subsidiary Blue Anthem for $30 million. On the same day, World Liberty Financial, Inc. granted Blue Anthem an additional 1 billion non transferable WLFI Tokens as consideration for Blue Anthem's agreement to join the World Liberty Advisory Committee. PS1: During this stage, Sun holds 3 billion WLFIs with an average purchase price of 0.01 US dollars, and the current price is 0.06 US dollars. Around January 2025, Blue Anthem purchased approximately 1 billion non transferable WLFI tokens. Therefore, Sun holds approximately 4 billion non transferable WLFI tokens through Blue Anthem. PS2: The purchase amount for this stage has not been disclosed. But Blue Anthem has agreed not to transfer all 4 billion WLFI tokens it holds. 2. The new governance proposal of WLFI will allow 80% of the tokens that are still locked in by early investors to be locked in for another two years, and then enter a two-year linear unlocking. Secondary market buyers will not be affected by this unlocking proposal, but if users want to participate in governance voting, they need to agree to lock the tokens for six months. Sun, on behalf of its entity Blue Anthem, agrees that WLFI may, at its discretion, refuse to unlock, restrict access, or freeze any wallet as it deems necessary to comply with applicable laws, enforce its policies, or protect the integrity of the WLF Agreement. In addition, when agreeing to the Token Unlocking Agreement, Blue Anthem declared that it has not engaged in any transfer activities, including short selling transactions by WLFI. PS3: WLFI company can block and freeze wallet addresses and related tokens that it deems to be related to illegal activities or activities that violate its terms. 3. Sun transferred approximately $9 million worth of WLFI to Binance and transferred approximately $300 million to Binance three times through the publicly held HTX 48 wallet. After the transfer was completed, the market established a large short position for WLFI. PS4: WLFI believes that Sun's exchange wallet transferred $300 million to Binance the day before WLFI opened for public trading. The next morning, WLFI prices plummeted while the number of open short positions increased, indicating that traders were piling up new short positions on a huge scale. To put it simply, WLFI believes that Sun transferred $300 million to Binance the day before WLFI opened for trading in order to pre deploy short selling funds. However, relying solely on on on chain transfers and subsequent short OI increases cannot directly prove that the $300 million was used by Sun himself to short WLFI. The key to achieving real results is still Binance's trading data. 4. WLFI believes that Sun violated the agreement by freezing all WLFI tokens held by Sun, and the freezing function was known to Sun when he bought WLFI tokens. Sun, on the other hand, believes that WLFI secretly embedded a blacklist function in the smart contract, froze its tokens twice, deprived it of governance voting rights, threatened to permanently destroy its holdings, and attempted to force it to mint $200 million USD 1. PS5: This part is the core of the lawsuit between both parties. It is not enough for WLFI to prove that early tokens have lock up restrictions. It is also necessary to prove that lock up permissions, triggering conditions, execution methods, and governance impacts have been fully disclosed and have not exceeded the protocol authorization. Sun will focus on whether there is an undisclosed blacklist control structure, whether it has been selectively frozen, whether it has been deprived of governance rights, and whether it has been threatened to destroy tokens. The following verbal battle will not be discussed further. Overall, WLFI is suing Sun for not only selling WLFI that should not have been sold, but also for allegedly short selling WLFI to make a profit, violating the contract signed with WLFI. As for the matter of Sun's sale and short selling of WLFI, in reality, unless there is evidence from Binance that Sun sold the WLFI Token transferred to Binance, it is not easy for the judge to accept it. Sun's statement acknowledges the transfer but does not acknowledge the sale, which is currently the main reason for the dispute between the two parties. To put it simply, it means to be certain that the transfer of WLFI to Binance is a sale, and Sun's transfer of USDT to Binance is a short selling of WLFI. However, without evidence, it is difficult for the judge to believe. The only thing that breaks the deadlock here is whether Binance will provide evidence. Whether Binance will provide evidence depends on whether it has received valid court orders, subpoenas, requests for judicial assistance, and whether the relevant Binance entities are within the enforceable jurisdiction of US courts. Binance can contest, apply for restrictions on disclosure, or request confidentiality protection. As for the defamation related lawsuits, they are all based on the game between WLFI and Sun in terms of freezing and being frozen. On the surface, the core cause of this Florida lawsuit is defamation and implied defamation, but what truly determines whether defamation can be established is whether WLFI fully discloses its freezing rights, whether Sun violates transfer restrictions, whether he actually sells or short sells, and whether Sun knows that his statements are inaccurate when posting. Based on my personal estimation, the final outcome is highly likely to be an out of court settlement between the two parties under the pressure of the evidence chain.
