The legal dispute centers around Sun's $45 million lawsuit, filed on April 21, 2026, which accuses WLFI of fraud and breach of contract. The lawsuit alleges that WLFI's actions were part of a broader scheme to mislead investors and stakeholders about its true operations and affiliations.
The Cryptonomist, Crypto.news, The Block, and Coinfomania all report that Sun's legal team has requested sanctions for the alleged disclosure violations. The Block adds that Sun intends to refile the lawsuit in California state court, suggesting a strategic shift in the legal approach.
