Justin Sun Sues Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial Over Frozen Tokens

Justin Sun, Tron founder, filed suit in California against World Liberty Financial, the Trump family's crypto venture, alleging the project froze his $75M in WLFI tokens, stripped his voting rights, and threatened to permanently destroy his holdings without notice, cause, or recourse.

Should Barron Trump be drafted – or left alone to keep building his $150m fortune? | Arwa Mahdawi

Prominent Maga bros have suggested the 20-year-old son of the US president should be called up this year. Why does this seem so vanishingly unlikely?It can’t be easy being the youngest son of a man who compares himself to the son of God. Rather a lot to live up to, isn’t there? Still, Barron Trump seems to be taking it in his stride. Rather than rebelling and becoming a socialist, the 20-year-old is shaping up to be just like dad: Barron is already worth $150m, according to a 2025 Forbes calculation. That’s largely from World Liberty Financial, a Trump family cryptocurrency company he co-founded. (Reportedly it’s Barron who got the president into crypto.)Barron isn’t just trading alt-coins. The university student has also launched a yerba mate brand called Sollos. (Yerba mate is a caffeinated herbal tea from South America). And he’s been engaged with politics behind the scenes. Barron is widely credited for boosting his dad’s most recent election campaign by connecting him to manosphere influencers such as Adin Ross and Theo Von. Continue reading...
