Key Points:
  • Justin Sun accuses FDT of misappropriating user funds.
  • Allegations over ten times worse than FTX's scandal.
  • Sun criticizes FDT's diversion of funds to private ventures.

Justin Sun, Tron founder, accused First Digital Trust (FDT) of severe misconduct, claiming misuse of nearly $500 million in Hong Kong. Allegations emphasize heightened severity compared to FTX.

FDT’s actions represent a blatant and malicious misuse of user assets, far worse than even FTX’s mismanagement. This is a mockery of the law in Hong Kong.

FDT Misappropriation Sparks $500 Million Controversy

Justin Sun's accusations against First Digital Trust (FDT) have stirred the crypto community. He claims FDT's misappropriation of user funds exceeds that of the FTX scandal. Sun pointed out FDT's lack of collateralization and direct asset theft as key factors.

The gravity of the allegations has caused a notable decline in the value of FDUSD. Stablecoin depreciation reached $0.76 against USDC, reflecting market unease. Critics question Vincent Chok's leadership, particularly his dismissive stance on the accusations.

Sun's insistence on transparency highlights broader implications for the crypto market. He has called for regulatory interventions and raised concerns about Hong Kong's regulatory gaps. The community awaits further developments and potential responses from FDT and authorities.
