Justin Sun offered to invest $10 million each into two Trump-backed businesses one day after World Liberty froze his WLFI wallets. The TRON founder has made several public statements attempting to regain access.
Considering the sheer number of crypto corruption allegations President Trump has been implicated in, some are wondering if this is an attempt at bribery.

Although World Liberty Financial was ostensibly created to prevent crypto debanking, its controversial decision to freeze Justin Sun’s WLFI wallets has caused controversy.
Sun invested huge sums into WLFI and TRUMP, but more than 2.4 billion of his tokens were frozen. According to reports, the freeze was triggered after he tried to transfer around $9 million to Binance.
Since this controversial incident, the token’s valuation tanked. Justin Sun has issued public statements to World Liberty in an effort to unfreeze his WLFI; although some took a hostile tone, most have been conciliatory.
Today, however, he made an unorthodox new statement.
Justin Sun didn’t mention the frozen WLFI tokens directly, but he tagged all of World Liberty’s leaders. He made two offers: to invest $10 million in WLFI and $10 million in Alt5 Sigma. This notorious Trump partner has reportedly been acquired by the President’s family, and it has faced serious fraud allegations.

In other words, both of these businesses have very direct Trump connections. Many crypto firms and personalities have been accused of bribing the President. Some allegations are even levied at Sun himself.
Trump’s alleged crypto corruption has become a major political talking point.
Several community members are wondering whether Justin Sun is trying to bribe his way into regaining his WLFI access.
“[Justin Sun] is offering $20 million to Trump-related companies to get his frozen WLFI tokens back. Amazing,” claimed Jacob Silverman. “[It’s] interesting that he’s posting this publicly. He can’t call a Witkoff and get this sorted privately?” he added.
It’s hard to say what other interpretation an onlooker could possibly take from this interaction. Democratic senators have openly accused the US president of receiving bribes, and crypto represents a huge chunk of his net worth.
If Justin Sun wanted his WLFI tokens back, greasing Trump’s palm might be an ideal solution.
