After it became known that the wallet of Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, had been frozen, the World Liberty Financial team issued an official explanation. According to them, 272 addresses were added to the blacklist.
The message appeared on September 6, the day after the media reported that Sun's account had been blocked. The reason was the transfer of 50 million WLFI to him. The entrepreneur himself emphasized that this was not a sale, but an internal movement of funds, and demanded that the restrictions be lifted.
The report published by WLFI specifies that among the frozen ones:
- 215 wallets are associated with phishing attacks;
- 50 addresses were hacked and blocked at the request of the owners;
- 5 were considered high-risk;
– 1 address is suspected of misappropriation of funds and is being verified.
The project team noted that the purpose of these actions is to protect community members, and not to blacklist users en masse. According to platform representatives, the reaction occurs only in cases where signals are received about fraudulent or potentially dangerous activity.
It is separately emphasized that WLFI does not block accounts for standard market operations and regular transactions. However, the official statement did not address the issue concerning Sun personally.
The TRON founder himself did not publicly respond to WLFI's new post. Previously, he had already expressed dissatisfaction with the team's decision and insisted on unblocking his assets, stating that such measures undermine trust in the platform.
The situation caused a heated discussion in the crypto community: users were divided in their opinions. Some believe that the project is acting in the interests of security, while others believe that selective blocking creates a precedent for censorship and interference in the free use of assets.
Thus, WLFI tries to maintain a balance between ensuring security and preserving the reputation of the decentralized ecosystem. However, the lack of comment on the Justin Sun case leaves questions open.
