A dispute between Polygon developer Bruno Skvorc and WLFI has drawn attention in the cryptocurrency community due to allegations of wallet freezes without justification.
Accusations by Polygon Developer
Bruno Skvorc, a developer at Polygon, stated that WLFI prevented access to his wallet and withheld tokens without valid justification. He referenced correspondence from the project's compliance team, which classified his wallet as high risk.
> "I just got a reply from @worldlibertyfi. TLDR is, they stole my money, and because it's the [@POTUS] family, I can't do anything about it. This is the new age mafia..." — Bruno Skvorc (@bitfalls).
WLFI's Defense and Reasons for Wallet Freezes
WLFI stated that it froze 272 wallets due to security concerns and phishing activities. According to the report, around 215 wallets were linked to phishing activities. WLFI emphasized that its actions aimed to protect users rather than suppress normal activity.
> "We’ve heard community concerns about recent wallet blacklists. Transparency first: WLFI only intervenes to protect users..." — WLFI.
Reactions from Justin Sun and Blockchain Investigator
Prominent cryptocurrency figure Justin Sun confirmed that his wallet was among those frozen. He clarified that his wallet activity involved only test transactions and internal transfers, which could not affect the market. Sun called for the restoration of access to improperly frozen assets.
> "Our address only carried out a few general exchange deposit tests with very small amounts, followed by an address dispersion. No buying or selling was involved..." — Justin Sun.
The conflict between the Polygon developer and WLFI raises important questions about transparency and compliance in the crypto industry. It is essential to balance user rights with necessary protections against phishing threats.
