World Liberty Financial said it is suing crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun for defamation, accusing him of running a coordinated media campaign against the Trump-linked project. [1]
A World Liberty spokesperson confirmed the lawsuit, according to the report. The company said Sun has "launched a coordinated media smear campaign against World Liberty Financial and refused to stop even when confronted with the truth." [1]
The project said the alleged campaign continued after Sun filed his own lawsuit against it last month. Bloomberg reported the new defamation case on May 4. [1]
Sun filed that separate lawsuit in April, according to the report. [1]
