WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff faces scrutiny after 2022 arrest video resurfaces, as Justin Sun lawsuit over frozen tokens adds pressure on DeFi project

Sun's complaint alleges WLFI embedded an undisclosed blacklist function, froze ~$107M twice, and demanded he mint $200M USD1 to unfreeze — those allegations have actual legal teeth; the 2022 Witkoff footage mostly doesn't. If discovery confirms the USD1-mint demand, this moves from breach-of-contract into DOJ extortion territory, which is why NDCal on April 21 reads as a deliberate venue choice. Every WLFI whale now knows their bag is freezable at multisig discretion — that's a governance-risk premium the market still has to price in, separate from the 90%+ peak-to-now drawdown already on the chart.
