Hey guys, good evening! Recently, the gossip on X has been so intense that it’s been making my phone feel hot. I originally wasn’t into gossip either, but after seeing the posts, I learned about the dispute between Brother Sun and @worldlibertyfi (WLFI). It turns out they’ve been at it since last September, and on April 12th, they publicly traded barbs with each other again.

I don’t usually like to get pulled into dramas like this, but when I consider that wallets might be affected by emotions, I can’t help wanting to quietly watch the gossip—and also share my true thoughts.
Let’s lay it out simply: In 2024, Brother Sun put in $75,000,000 and became WLFI’s largest external investor, and he also served as an advisor. At the time, their cooperation seemed pretty harmonious.
The turning point came after WLFI’s token listing and the unlock in September 2025. Brother Sun’s related wallet transferred about 50,000,000 WLFI tokens (worth roughly $9,000,000 at the time) to the HTX exchange.
The project team quickly froze the approximately 590,000,000 tokens he had (worth over $100,000,000) using a blacklist feature. Brother Sun explained that it was a test address, not an intentional dump, and he also mentioned that the contract might have undisclosed “back doors.” He felt it violated the principles of decentralization and demanded that it be unfrozen as soon as possible.
WLFI, meanwhile, insisted it was to control risk and protect ordinary users. They emphasized that there is contractual basis, welcomed the parties to pursue legal routes, and also mentioned that Brother Sun is using a “victim narrative.”
At the moment, his wallet is still frozen, and the two sides haven’t made up yet.
My personal take (purely rational—just observing):
Honestly, this is pretty complicated. There’s no absolute right or wrong. From a retail investor’s perspective, I can understand WLFI’s difficulties. Brother Sun, as a major investor and advisor, transferring such a large amount to an exchange at the point when tokens had just been listed—at the most sensitive window for the market—no matter what his original intent was, objectively it’s very likely to make people feel uneasy in their hearts. For ordinary holders, the pressure really isn’t small.
WLFI wanted to steady the community and avoid a big order from hitting liquidity when liquidity is already not great. I think the intention behind propping up the market and protecting the community is something you can understand.
The project team should be responsible to all users—especially in phases when emotions are relatively fragile. Adding an extra layer of risk control is also so everyone gets fewer scares.
It’s just that for a mechanism like a blacklist—if it could be explained earlier and more transparently, it might reduce a lot of misunderstandings.
Sister Yiyi also mentioned before that many projects won’t disclose technical permissions, but for a community-facing project like WLFI, trust still needs to be built by accumulating more openness.
Also, it’s said that at the time, Brother Sun’s actions may have touched on clauses in the contract related to “not selling tokens,” which is why the project team took measures.
This is more an issue of responsibility between the contractual parties, not aimed at ordinary users. If Brother Sun feels wronged, going to court is the most solid option. Shouting on social media has limited effect.
Later, Brother Sun also tried to seek reconciliation, saying he was willing to invest another $10,000,000 in exchange for unlocking—but so far, I haven’t seen any real actions. These details make the whole situation feel even more complicated.
To be honest, what I fear most is being led around by emotions, and I don’t want to accidentally add heat to anyone. Disputes involving hundreds of millions between wealthy people ultimately still have to be resolved through contracts, on-chain records, and the court. I hope both sides can present their evidence so everyone can see the outcome rationally.
I still hope everyone can have less internal friction, and think more about how to get liquidity up—so that ordinary retail users can participate with peace of mind. If WLFI can raise transparency a bit more, trust will come more steadily. And as an influential senior figure, Brother Sun should also consider the impact his actions have on market sentiment—that would be even better.
In short, this gossip isn’t settled yet. Let’s not guess wildly, and let’s not spread rumors. Protecting your own small wallet is the most important thing.
Let’s wait for the court’s result or for a mutual reconciliation to come to light—don’t let your emotions get carried away. Rationally watching the gossip is the best!
