Gate News message, April 17 — Sun Yuchen, founder of Tron, has criticized the management team of WLF, the cryptocurrency project backed by the Trump family, over requirements that early investors lock up their holdings for four years. Sun is among the early investors affected by the lock-up terms.
According to a statement from Tron to Caixi, Sun maintains that his relationship with President Trump’s family remains normal, but he strongly condemns the WLF execution team. “Sun Yuchen is the biggest victim of this project,” the statement said. “Both Sun Yuchen and the President’s family were deceived by bad actors within the WLFI team.” Sun emphasized that the criticism targets specific project managers and team members engaging in misconduct, not the overall cooperation framework with the Trump family.
