The reversal script in the crypto world is never absent, but whether it can cause top players to lose $60 million truly depends on WLFI's move. The associated wallet of TRON founder Justin Sun has been frozen by this project for over three months, with no clear timeline for unfreezing, and the frozen tokens' valuation has dropped from $130 million in September to around $74 million now. This level of shrinkage is truly shocking.



Let's review the events. In September, a major exchange-backed project WLFI suddenly launched a large-scale "security rectification," freezing 272 wallet addresses at once. The official reason given was "to prevent phishing fraud and suspicious transaction activities." But what really caught the community's attention was the details uncovered by on-chain data analysis teams (Bubblemaps and Arkham)—one wallet marked as "suspected of fund misappropriation" was pointing directly to Justin Sun's associated address, which was then blacklisted.

It is worth emphasizing that many investors still have a superficial understanding of "wallet freezing." Freezing is not just about temporarily unable to trade; in a market downturn, unrealized losses can be amplified to an unacceptable level. Justin Sun holds 545 million WLFI tokens, valued at about $130 million when frozen in September. Now, that has shrunk to $74 million. Besides losing liquidity, they also face the dual blow of market devaluation.

What is more ironic is that the WLFI team has always claimed this was "routine risk control operation, not targeting individuals." However, looking at the timeline, the freezing coincided precisely with Justin Sun's attempt to transfer $9 million, a coincidence that raises suspicion. The entire incident also serves as a reminder to investors: on-chain transparency is real, but sudden risk control events can still cause your assets to shrink instantly. Vigilance is essential.

$60 million instantly evaporated. This is the crypto world—can't even smile. Old Sun has his day too? Just freeze it if you want, but the key is that timing... too coincidental. Risk control? I think risk control is just risk; no one can escape it. Holding 545 million tokens and directly zeroing out liquidity—that's true despair. Talking about routine operations, it's all transparent on the chain. I choose to trust the data, not the hype. In the crypto world, having more assets actually makes you a target. Major players should learn to stay low-key. Frozen wallets are indeed brutal, even more damaging than a direct rug pull. At least with a rug pull, you know it's over; this slow shrinkage is truly disgusting.

Haha, really outrageous. 60 million just disappeared like that. The crypto world is this exciting. Brother Sun also has to take this hit. It seems no one can escape the scythe of risk control. Freezing wallets is indeed a ruthless move. The timing is so perfectly calculated. Who would believe this is "routine operation"? With liquidity gone, you still have to watch the coin price fall. This double blow is truly incredible. So, I tell you, don't be too careless on the chain. You never know when you'll be targeted.
