What comes as a surprise to many, rumors are on the rise that Tron founder Justin Sun has been handcuffed by law enforcement officers in Hong Kong. The details shared on Twitter are vague, however, many have come forward to call it out as a deliberate attempt to FUD the crypto project. At the time of writing, the TRX token has succumbed to the ongoing rumor as its price has dropped by 1.2% immediately following the news.
Justin Sun Replies To Controversy
However, Justin Sun has finally responded to the rumor and his statement consists solely of the number “4”. This comes after the CEO of Binance, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, said the same thing not long ago in response to reports that the CFTC had filed a lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange. The number 4 refers to a tweet that CZ had previously sent out with the goal of “Ignore FUD, fake news, attacks, etc.”
Moreover, Sun had been actively sharing developments from his Hong Kong tour. He had even shared a picture with his former mentor.
