The claim is that Sun’s address on Tron minted $62 million TUSD, which is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. Then, Sun allegedly withdrew $50 million in USDT (another stablecoin) from Huobi , a cryptocurrency exchange, and deposited this amount into Bitfinex , another exchange platform. The tale doesn’t stop here. Sun reportedly burned $50 million TUSD, and then moved $50 million USDT and $12 million TUSD into JustLend ,a Tron-based decentralized lending platform.
The Purpose Of These Transactions?
Cochran finds no legitimate reason for the instant minting and burning of TUSD unless the objective was to momentarily inflate the balance for a snapshot or to offset debt. Moreover, he speculates that these funds might be unbacked adding a hint of suspicion to the whole affair.
