Earlier this morning, the Tron founder Justin Sun had postponed the date of his lunch with the world’s investment guru Warren Buffett over suddenly discovered kidney stones. 

That happened just a couple of days before the event that the whole crypto industry has been looking forward to.

However, a Twitter user says that Justin Sun seems to have been dishonest with the crypto industry not only now (with the sudden ‘kidney stones’ diagnosis) but all the way through since Tron started operating.

As per the @PandaofBinance, Chinese authorities have forbidden Sun to leave the country and are charging him with money laundering, use of Ponzi schemes, etc. An investigation is currently underway.
