Justin Sun Seeks Sanctions Against WLFI for Late Disclosure of UAE Identity, Plans to Transfer Lawsuit to California State Court
PANews November 3 news, Justin Sun posted on the X platform that his lawyers have applied to a U.S. federal court for sanctions against World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and its lawyers, stating that WLFI only disclosed its UAE citizenship after the litigation had been ongoing for several months. Initially, the only owner WLFI declared was itself, with Florida citizenship. In August, the court ruled that some claims would remain in open court, and less than 1 week later, WLFI corrected the members of its ownership chain to 22, involving the UAE and other places, and on this basis argued that the federal court lacks jurisdiction. Justin Sun cumulatively invested 45000000 USD to purchase WLFI tokens, and in April sued WLFI for fraud and froze its tokens. He said that after the sanctions motion is ruled on, he will refile the lawsuit in a California state court.

Why it matters to readers
