The TRON Saga: Sun, Secrets, and a Market That Laughs

by

In the vast and often ridiculous theater of wealth, a man named Justin Sun, founder of TRON, stands under a cloud as old as longing and as sharp as a blade: accusations of insider trading. They murmur that in the great bull-run of 2017 he contrived means to bend the coin’s price, as a master of games might bend a road to favor a chosen horse. The world is full of such tales; some are true, some are merely smoke, and all of them press upon the heart like a winter caress that never fully departs.

In the Name of Fortune and the Long Shadow of Profit

In a post upon the modern agora called X, a figure named Tenten speaks with the gravity of one who has watched men gamble with the weather. She asserts that Sun employed the identities of several employees based in Beijing to operate accounts on Binance, with which the TRX price was maneuvered as if by some invisible hand of destiny. She says he conducted aggressive and large-scale sales at the end of 2017 and the dawn of 2018, as though wealth could be harvested by the scythe of cunning rather than by honest labor. The crowd cheers; the sage nods; and the rest of us wonder whether the edge of a blade is sharper when wielded in a bull market or when described in a tweet.

She adds that these insider schemes-these “predatory practices” in the service of the TRX token on Binance-were, in her telling, how the fortune of Sun was amassed. And she reveals that the confidences for such accusations sprang from a relationship with him in the early days of the network’s infancy, which would give one pause if one believes in romance as a source of truth rather than in balance sheets.

To the matter of the SEC, she says she has seen a report that highlights the agency’s charges-fraud and wash trading-that Sun faced. She proclaims she bears evidence that Sun did indeed use employees’ identities to artificially inflate the TRX price on Binance, and she would willingly cooperate with an SEC inquiry, presenting all relevant WeChat records. The world, and perhaps a few overburdened clerks in Washington, await with a sigh whether such testimony will dawn into daylight or vanish like a wisp of smoke.

According to her, the chats were supplied by Sun’s own employees, proof that he walked within the circle of manipulation. She pleads that U.S. authorities contact her so that she may forward the spectrum of this testimony. It is notable that the SEC, for the moment, has paused the case, though it has not utterly dismissed it, and the air remains thick with the possibility of rekindled inquiry or quiet forgetfulness-a fate that fortune often reserves for men who ride the wave of modern invention.

In a curious twist, her allegations align with a letter from House Democrats to the SEC concerning what they call a “Pay-to-Play” in the handling of Sun’s case, a matter intertwined with his connection to World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and the political rhetoric that trundles along beside markets and coins.

“Let the Noise Be Quieted”

Sun has yet to address these charges in the open forum, yet after Tenten’s disclosures he urged the TRON multitude to ignore the FUD and to continue to build and hold, as if the health of a venture depended on the stubbornness of its believers. In another post, he extolled that TRX endures with a stubborn grace despite the market crash that has visited many fortunes with a cold wind. Meanwhile, Tenten asserts that Sun has not resisted the temptation to defame her, a claim she repeats with the calm certainty of one who has lived through rumors as though they were weather.

In a further assertion, she claims that in response to her initial allegations Sun disseminated a torrent of false, malicious, and defamatory content targeting her. According to her, the TRON founder did this through Chinese crypto KOLs, with whom he claims a long-standing rapport-a reminder that in the modern theater, reputations travel as swiftly as coins, and sometimes with a louder voice than truth itself.

She also accuses these KOLs of being involved in market manipulation, stating that they usually work with crypto projects to deliver calls about their tokens, after which the team dumps the tokens once retail investors have taken the bait and are left to count the cost in the quiet of evening.

At the time of writing, the TRX price is trading at around $0.2821, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
