由唐纳德·特朗普总统及其儿子共同创立的加密货币企业World Liberty Financial于周一起诉孙宇晨诽谤，指控这位加密货币亿万富翁发起“公开抹黑运动”攻击该公司。
这起诉讼已向佛罗里达州迈阿密-戴德县第十一司法巡回法院提起，要求获得未具体列明的损害赔偿，并要求孙宇晨公开收回其在社交媒体上针对World Liberty Financial发表的言论。
此次诉讼标志着World Liberty Financial与主要投资者孙宇晨之间的冲突升级。今年4月，孙宇晨曾以欺诈为由起诉这家初创公司，声称自己被非法阻止出售价值高达10亿美元的数字代币。
“焦土战术”
World Liberty Financial在诉讼中指控孙宇晨做空该公司交易代码为$WLFI的加密代币，并通过第三方购买代币以隐瞒身份，进行所谓的“稻草人交易”。该公司还表示，已冻结孙宇晨旗下一家公司持有的代币，以“保护World Liberty及更广泛的$WLFI代币持有者社区”。
“然而，孙宇晨并未与World Liberty建设性地解决不当行为问题，反而发起了针对World Liberty的焦土施压运动，试图从该公司榨取数亿美元，包括让其律师威胁发起旨在‘点燃World Liberty’的诉讼，”诉讼文件称。
“当World Liberty拒绝屈服于孙宇晨的威胁时，孙宇晨发起了他的公开抹黑运动，”该公司进一步指控道。
孙宇晨的律师尚未立即回应置评请求。
孙宇晨周一在X平台上发文，将World Liberty Financial的诉讼斥为“毫无根据的公关噱头”。他补充道：“我坚持我的所作所为，并期待在法庭上打赢这场官司。”
World Liberty Financial的诉讼指控孙宇晨在社交媒体上发表虚假言论，包括声称该公司“将加密货币社区当作个人自动取款机”，以及其治理方式存在不当之处。该公司还指控孙宇晨雇佣网络网红和“虚假社交媒体‘机器人’账号”来放大他的谎言。
“总体而言，孙宇晨的帖子被浏览量达数百万次，并引发了广泛的媒体报道，”诉讼文件称。
该公司指控，由于孙宇晨是加密行业的知名人物，他的言论“对World Liberty造成了极其严重的伤害”。
根据彭博亿万富翁指数，孙宇晨于2017年创立了去中心化区块链平台波场（Tron），身家近120亿美元。2024年，他以620万美元的价格拍下了一件将香蕉用胶带粘在墙上的概念艺术作品，因此登上新闻头条。

World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture co-founded by President Donald Trump and his sons, on Monday sued Justin Sun for defamation, alleging that the crypto billionaire engaged in a “public smear campaign” to attack the business.
The lawsuit, filed in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Florida, seeks unspecified damages and a public retraction of statements Sun made on social media about World Liberty Financial.
The allegations mark an escalation in the conflict between World Liberty Financial and Sun, a major investor. In April, Sun sued the startup for fraud, claiming he was illegally blocked from selling digital tokens worth up to $1 billion.
“Scorched earth”
In its lawsuit, World Liberty Financial alleges that Sun bet against the company’s crypto tokens, which trade under the $WLFI ticker, and made so-called straw purchases by using third parties to purchase tokens to conceal his identity. The company also said it froze tokens owned by one of Sun’s companies to “protect World Liberty and the broader community of $WLFI holders.”
“Nevertheless, rather than work constructively with World Liberty to address the misconduct, Sun embarked on a scorched earth pressure campaign against World Liberty to try to extract hundreds of millions of dollars from World Liberty, including having his counsel threaten litigation designed to ‘light World Liberty on fire’,” the lawsuit claims.
“When World Liberty refused to capitulate to Sun’s threats, Sun launched his public smear campaign,” the company further alleged.
Sun’s attorneys didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
In a post on X, Sun on Monday dismissed World Liberty Financial’s suit as “a meritless PR stunt.” He added, “I stand by my actions and look forward to defeating the case in court.”
The World Liberty Financial lawsuit alleges that Sun made false claims on social media, including allegations that the company “treat[s] the crypto community as a personal ATM” and that its governance practices were improper. World Liberty Financial also accused Sun of employing online influencers and “fake social-media ‘bot’ accounts to amplify his lies.”
“Collectively, Sun’s posts were viewed millions of times and generated widespread media coverage,” the lawsuit claims.
Because Sun is a prominent figure in the crypto industry, his comments were “profoundly harmful to World Liberty,” the company alleges.
Sun, who founded the decentralized blockchain platform Tron in 2017, has a net wealth of nearly $12 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. In 2024, he made headlines for his $6.2 million purchase of a piece of conceptual art consisting of a banana duct-taped to a wall.
