Justin Sun files a lawsuit against Bloomberg following publication of an article suggesting he ownership of 60% of TRON's tokens.
In a dramatic turn of events, tech entrepreneur Justin Sun has found himself embroiled in a legal dispute with Bloomberg over the disclosure of his cryptocurrency holdings.
According to reports, Sun sought an injunction to prevent Bloomberg from revealing his wallet addresses, citing potential risks of hacking, theft, and physical harm. The dispute stems from Sun's inclusion in Bloomberg's Billionaires Index, where he claimed confidential information was breached by the publication of his crypto assets.
However, Bloomberg's legal team responded by stating they would oppose Sun's restraining order, arguing that Sun could not demonstrate harm or prove any breach of privacy or confidentiality agreements. The publication of Sun's Billionaires Index profile went ahead on August 11, 2025, just hours before Sun filed a lawsuit against Bloomberg in Delaware federal court.
Despite the legal motion for a temporary restraining order, Bloomberg has not published Sun's wallet addresses, as of the latest updates in August 2025. The lawsuit has not resulted in a settlement or further legal updates beyond the temporary restraining order effort and the index profile publication.
In an unusual twist, Sun made headlines earlier this year when he purchased a banana for $6.2 million at Sotheby's, with plans to eat it. The move was seen as a statement against the increasingly speculative nature of the art market.
This legal battle between Sun and Bloomberg serves as a reminder of the sensitive nature of personal financial information in the digital age, particularly in the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency. As the case continues to unfold, both parties will undoubtedly face scrutiny and speculation from the public and the media.
