Justin Sun Faces Renewed U.S. Scrutiny as New Allegations Surface
A stayed SEC civil case and fresh, unverified online claims have brought renewed attention to long-running allegations against the TRON founder.
Justin Sun remains under renewed scrutiny in the United States as long-running allegations of market manipulation and securities violations have resurfaced; a major SEC civil case was paused last year and remains stayed, with recent political developments bringing the matter back into public focus [1].
Separately, a woman using the name Ten Ten posted on X alleging a past relationship with Sun and accusing him of fraud, market abuse, and coordinated trading activity; she said she has evidence and encouraged U.S. authorities to review it [2]. Multiple outlets have reported similar, unverified claims that Sun or associates engaged in organized trading to inflate TRX prices in the 2017–2018 period, but those allegations have not been independently confirmed [3][4].
No new formal charges have been reported in connection with the recent posts and reports, and the allegations circulating online remain unverified as the stayed SEC matter continues to be unresolved [1][2][3][4].
