PANews reported on April 13th that, according to The Block, Tron founder Justin Sun publicly accused World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi project backed by the Trump family, of implanting an undisclosed blacklist backdoor into its token smart contract. This backdoor grants the team unilateral power to "freeze, restrict, and substantially confiscate the property rights of any token holder." Sun claims to be the "first and biggest victim" of this feature, stating that his wallet has been frozen since September 2025, when he transferred approximately $9 million worth of WLFI tokens. Sun alleges that WLFI was never authorized through any fair and transparent community governance process, and its actions include secretly implanting a backdoor to control user assets, extracting fees from users, and freezing investor funds. WLFI responded by stating, "The official team holds the contracts and evidence. Justin Sun habitually plays the victim; we will see Justin Sun in court."
