Sun is accused of utilizing TRON and Poloniex for a variety of failings, including possibly unlawful business operations, according to a scathing investigation released today.
Christopher Harland-Dunaway, who wrote a similarly dramatic story regarding Sun’s purchase of BitTorrent in September 2020, titled “The Many Escapes of Justin Sun.”
Who is Justin Suntron, and what does he do?
Justin Sun is an ambassador, Grenada’s Permanent Representative to the World Trade Organization, and a Chinese-Grenadian diplomat, entrepreneur, and business leader stationed in Geneva. He is primarily known for founding TRON, a popular blockchain DAO environment.
Justin Sun, a rising Chinese cryptocurrency tycoon, went through the departure terminal’s gleaming lofted atrium at Incheon International Airport in South Korea. Sun had every cause to be anxious following his first ICO in September 2017, at the height of the crypto-mania. An ICO, or initial coin offering, is similar to a new stock’s first public offering.
“blatant defamation about the Poloniex operation”
Justin Sun is one of the most divisive characters in the bitcoin community. He has, however, said that he may pursue legal action in response to explosive charges made by the tech site. The Verge concerning his leadership of the blockchain network TRON and administration of the Poloniex cryptocurrency exchange.
“It is a complete falsehood on the part of the Verge and the reporter and a blatant defamation about the Poloniex operation,” wrote the China-born tech entrepreneur, He developed TRON in 2018, then went on to buy BitTorrent, a peer-to-peer software company, later that year, and then invest in Poloniex in 2019.
Circle, a digital asset and financial services business, bought Poloniex in February 2018.
“Polo boasts solid risk management and strong financial resources that have given top-of-class services to our consumers throughout its existence,” Sun writes in a series of tweets about Poloniex.
He then goes on to deny the article’s premise that the exchange is situated in Seychelles, pointing out that it does not service Americans. Poloniex said it will shut down after being bought by Circle, as Decrypt previously reported.
The never-ending saga of allegations
Sun was breaching so many regulations, according to a former employee, that catching up with them all may be “impossible.”
According to reports, the FBI is leading the probe against the controversial entrepreneur.
According to The Verge, an unidentified source alleges that a handful of Sun employees are working with authorities.
Sun is facing a plethora of criminal allegations, according to The Verge, which claims to have received a subpoena. Wire fraud, money laundering, swindling, and aiding and abetting a crime are among them. According to the article, the grand jury hasn’t completed the list.
It’s worth mentioning that the United States has extradition treaties with over a hundred nations, so Sun is unlikely to flee if authorities decide to charge him.
