@bryan the #JustinSun and #CZ / #Binance hashtags may be helpful. also #AndreiGrachev.
remember those names; they're gonna come up again in the news eventually (CZ was just in the news because he got a pardon a few days ago after giving trump ~$60-80 million/yr)
@z_everson @Forbes feels like this might be related to #WorldLibertyFinancial freezing all of #JustinSun's #WLFI tokens a few weeks ago...

@z_everson there's a #JustinSun version of everything in crypto and they're usually named after him (dogecoin => sundog, ethereum chain => tron chain, aave => JustLend, uniswap => sunswap, etc. etc.).
sunperp is justin sun's version of #hyperliquid.
Bloomberg has filed their opposition to Justin Sun’s renewed motion for emergency relief, arguing they never promised not to publish the information he and his team provided to them. They also argue that his demands they remove the article about him and prevent them from publishing a second one would violate the First Amendment.
Justin Sun made the mistake of trusting the Trump family with his money.
They froze his wallet, locking his investment in to never be returned no doubt.
All those justifications about servicing the ’debanked’? Hah! They just debanked Sun. 😃 This thing is a centralised tool to enrich the Trump family only.

Justin Sun has hired Baker & Hostetler lawyer Teresa Goody Guillén to represent him in his lawsuit against Bloomberg. Goody Guillén has previously represented the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial, and she has lobbied for a presidential pardon for Binance’s Changpeng Zhao.
I wrote about her in the August issue of my newsletter: https://www.citationneeded.news/issue-90/#in-the-white-house
![Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao is still hard at work trying to secure a pardon for his 2023 money laundering conviction [I79, 83]. Zhao has personally spent $30,000 in the last few months on lobbying the president for “executive relief”, hiring BakerHostetler partner Teresa Goody Guillén (a former SEC lawyer from 2009–2011).31 Since March 24, Binance has also spent another $190,000 on Goody Guillén’s and other BakerHostetler lobbyists’ services to lobby Congress, the SEC, and the CFTC on “financial services policy issues relating to digital assets and cryptocurrency”.32 Goody Guillén simultaneously represents the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial project; she wrote the brief May retort from the company in response to Senator Blumenthal’s questions about Trump’s conflicts of interest [I83, 84].33](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/192/931/006/850/160/original/52c962b90e1c13ec.png)
Crypto billionaire Justin Sun’s renewed motion for a temporary restraining order in his lawsuit against Bloomberg seems to confirm my view that the lawsuit was sparked by the disclosure that he controls 63% of the supply of TRX, the token issued by his Tron company.
Sun and Bloomberg had been “engaged in discussions that may moot the emergency relief”, but it sounds like Sun wanted more than they were willing to agree to.

📢 #JustinSun en apuros con $WLFI. 👇
Justin Sun: movimentou $9M e entrou em blacklist
Justin Sun foi bloqueado? 😳🔥
- O que aconteceu:
• Ele movimentou US$ 9 milhões e a carteira acabou sendo bloqueada/colocada em blacklist no blockchain.
- Valores envolvidos:
• Total aproximado que ele tinha na moeda: US$ 107 milhões.
- Por que importa:
• Movimentações grandes e bloqueios assim afetam confiança, liquidez e podem mexer no preço da moeda.
• Questiona...

2/ shit is getting really weird over on chinese crypto billionaire twitter
1. #OKX, the second biggest chinese crypto exchange, announced they will be halting all trading on a bunch of Justin Sun' connected tokens: #JST ("#JustLend"), #WBTC ("wrapped #bitcoin"), #BTT (#BitTorrent, which Justin bought long ago), and a couple others.
2. now his excellency is posting a public plea to have his #trump tokens (#WLFI) unfrozen.
#JustinSun #crypto #cryptocurrency #HTX #corruption #WorldLibertyFinancial #uspol #uspolitics
the trump family #crypto grift (#WorldLibertyFinancial, token #WLFI) just froze the account of #JustinSun, the single biggest backer of the entire grift, after Justin transferred millions of dollars “worth” of WLFI tokens to #Binance (a large crypto exchange where he was probably going to sell them).
impossible to say for sure why this happened but occam’s razor suggests the WLFI team is desperately trying to keep the price from continuing to crash (it’s down ~45% from when it became tradable on Monday) so they intervened to prevent Justin from selling.
there’s not a small amount of irony in the fact that the trump kids said they founded WLFI as a “decentralized” platform to “prevent debanking”.
maybe also worth noting that Justin has publicly claimed he has not sold and will never sell his WLFI tokens... but this being the world’s most infamous chinese crypto grifter literally zero people in the cryptoverse believe that.

The Trumps' World Liberty Financial project has frozen WLFI tokens in wallet addresses belonging to Justin Sun that contain ~$100 million (on paper) in unlocked WLFI. Sun is a major backer of the project, which the Trumps say they founded to stop "debanking".
The freeze apparently came after Sun transferred around ~$9M of his holdings to Binance.
The World Liberty team has been desperately trying to prevent the WLFI price from sinking, including by burning tokens to boost the price. They may be concerned that whales like Sun could further depress the token price by cashing out.
@w7voa Is #JustinSun or any other #CryptoBro on the list?
I do have some sneaking suspicions who's gonna be there...
"yeah fellas we are trying to max extract on this one"

i'm sure it's just a coincidence that the bitcoin wallet that #OFAC just sanctioned because it was being used by Russian and North Korean weapons programs just so happened to be sending all its bitcoins to crypto exchanges belonging to Trump's Chinese business partners: Justin Sun's #HTX and Changpeng Zhao's #Binance.
