Odaily Planet Daily News Sun Yuchen responded to the WSJ report on X: "I don't know about the rumors currently circulating on the Internet. CZ is my mentor and friend, and also my benefactor. In the process of my entrepreneurship, he gave me attention, guidance and direction! To this day, his code of conduct and style of doing things are still the highest standards I pursue as an entrepreneur. At the same time, the US Department of Justice has always been one of our T3FCU's closest and most trusted partners. We have worked together to handle a large number of important cases aimed at protecting global users and punishing illegal criminal groups worldwide. Whether it is CZ or partners in the Department of Justice, we always maintain direct and frank communication. I have full trust in each of them. Under the leadership of President Trump's wise encryption policy, the US encryption industry is bound to usher in greater success. As one of the president's earliest selected cryptocurrencies, TRX will also be a beneficiary of this success."
Previously, WSJ reported today that CZ agreed to provide prosecutors with evidence of Sun Yuchen's financial crimes when he pleaded guilty.
