In a recently published post on Chinese microblogging website Weibo, Tron CEO Justin Sun denied a scathing article published by local media outlet Chinese media 21st Century Business Herald.
The controversial crypto boss was accused of money laundering, which is supposedly the reason why he cannot leave China and have lunch with Warren Buffett.
As Coindesk reports, Sun claims that the accusations are “wrong” and the Tron Foundation, which is based in Singapore, is compliant with all local regulations.
He explains that all Tron investors were refunded after the ICO ban in China came into effect, and there was no flow of capital involved.
“The illegal fundraise accusation is wrong. Tron complied with regulators and refunded investors on Sept. 20 in 2017, immediately after the order [of a ban on initial coin offerings] from seven ministries in China,” claims Sun.
