Representatives of the platform World Liberty Financial, owned by the family of US President Donald Trump, stated that they blacklisted 272 crypto wallets and named the reasons for the blocking.
The team stated that the wallets of WLFI native token holders had been blocked because:
215 were linked to phishing attacks;
50 were hacked, they were frozen at the request of the owners themselves;
five were listed as being exposed to excessive risk;
one is suspected of misappropriating funds and is undergoing a security check.
“We do not aim to blacklist anyone. We respond when we receive notifications of malicious or high-risk activity that could harm community members,” the platform's statement said.
World Liberty Financial promised not to blacklist crypto wallets that demonstrate “normal behavior.” Wallet owners are urged to be vigilant and adhere to cybersecurity measures to eliminate the possibility of blocking.
Previously, World Liberty Financial blacklisted the Ethereum address of Tron founder Justin Sun for transferring 60 million WLFI tokens to the HTX exchange for over $9 million. The businessman later tried to assure that he did not intend to sell all these tokens at once.
