Virus? Juglone? or?

I hope this won't be considered spamming, i posted this on tomato forum but couldn't get a definitive answer so i thought i might try here as well.
In the link you will find 10 photos of Tigerella (Mr. Stripey) tomato plant. Lower leaves are very curled or should i say rolled, while top new growth is distorted. Apart from the very weird appearance, the plant doesn't seem to be stalling or suffering, at least not for now. Another curiosity is that 2nd truss has set around 25 flowers which is 2x or 3x more than expected for that variety (fruit has formed on 1st truss and its definitely tigerella).
I fear it's a virus. There are another 99 plants around it, with 2-3 showing similar symptoms to a lesser extent. Also it's likely some walnut roots remained in the soil so juglone poisoning might be a possibility as well.
Herbicide damage is unlikely due to the fact those plants are surrounded on each side by plants that have not been affected by this.
Can anyone ID this, or perhaps just rule out viruses?
