特倫（Tron）創始人賈斯汀·孫

索賠在4月10日的《華爾街日報》（Wall Street Journal）的一份報告後浮出水面，該雜誌的報告稱Zhao與司法部（DOJ）的認罪協議（包括針對Sun的合作）。

Tron founder Justin Sun has shot down rumors that former Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao cooperated with U.S. authorities to provide evidence against him, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Tron創始人賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun）宣布了謠傳前Binance首席執行官Changpeng“ CZ” Zhao與美國當局合作，以向他提供證據，如《華爾街日報》。

The claims surfaced following an April 11 report by the outlet, which cited unnamed sources claiming Zhao’s plea deal with the Department of Justice (DOJ) included cooperation targeting Sun.

該索賠在4月11日的媒體報告之後浮出水面，該報告列舉了趙與司法部（DOJ）的認罪協議的未透露姓名消息來源，包括針對Sun的合作。

“I’m not aware of the circulating rumors. CZ is both my mentor and a close friend,” Sun wrote on X, responding to a user inquiry about the allegations.

孫在X上寫道：“我不知道傳播的謠言。CZ既是我的導師，又是密友。”

He went on to praise Zhao for his integrity and support throughout his entrepreneurial career, further noting that the DOJ remains one of the most trusted partners of the T3 Financial Crime Unit — a group co-founded by Tron, Tether, and TRM Labs.

他繼續讚揚趙在整個企業家職業生涯中的誠信和支持，進一步指出，司法部仍然是T3金融犯罪部門最值得信賴的合作夥伴之一，這是由TRON，TETHER和TRM LABS共同創立的集團。

"The DOJ is a trusted partner of the T3 Financial Crime Unit in the shared mission to combat financial crime and protect the broader digital asset ecosystem. We will continue to collaborate with relevant authorities and institutions to promote a safe, secure, and compliant Web3 ecosystem for all."

“司法部是T3金融犯罪部門的值得信賴的合作夥伴，以打擊金融犯罪和保護更廣泛的數字資產生態系統。我們將繼續與相關機構和機構合作，以促進所有人的安全，安全和合規的Web3生態系統。”

The allegations emerged months after Zhao was sentenced to four months in prison for anti-money laundering violations. Though Zhao has not addressed the specific report, he posted a cryptic warning to his 10 million followers on X the day before the article was published, suggesting a "baseless hit piece" was imminent.

趙因反洗錢違法行為被判處四個月徒刑幾個月後出現。儘管Zhao尚未解決該報告，但他在文章發表的前一天向他的1000萬關注者發布了一個隱秘的警告，這表明即將出現“毫無根據的命中”。

"Be aware of a hit piece that will be published tomorrow, likely in one of the major U.S. papers, wrote one X user. It will be a baseless article about me, written by a reporter who is known to be biased and anti-crypto. Don't be surprised if you see it. It will be a coordinated effort to discredit me and my work."

“請注意，明天將在美國主要論文之一中發表的一部熱門作品寫了一位X用戶。這將是一篇關於我的毫無根據的文章，由一位記者撰寫的記者撰寫，他眾所周知，他有偏見和反crypto。

Legal backdrop and broader implications

法律背景和更廣泛的影響

Sun’s name has been embroiled in legal proceedings since March 2023, when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued him and three of his companies for allegedly offering and selling unregistered securities, as well as manipulating token trading volumes.

自2023年3月以來，Sun的名字一直捲入法律程序中，當時美國證券交易委員會（SEC）起訴他和他的三家公司，據稱涉嫌提供和出售未註冊的證券，並操縱了代幣交易量。

In February 2025, both Sun and the SEC requested a pause in the case to pursue settlement talks. The suggestion that Zhao, who walked free from prison in September 2024, might be cooperating with federal authorities adds fresh uncertainty to Sun’s legal outlook.

2025年2月，Sun和SEC都要求在此案中停下來進行和解談判。關於2024年9月離開監獄的趙可能與聯邦當局合作的建議增加了新的不確定性。

If substantiated, the alleged cooperation could complicate Sun’s legal strategy and potentially expose further ties between major crypto leaders and regulatory enforcement actions. For now, both figures remain silent on the legal specifics, while industry observers await formal updates from the DOJ or SEC.

如果得到證實，所謂的合作可能會使Sun的法律戰略複雜化，並有可能揭示主要的加密貨幣領導人與監管執法行動之間的進一步聯繫。目前，這兩個數字都對法律細節保持沉默，而行業觀察家則在等待司法部或SEC的正式更新。

Recently we wrote, that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and cryptocurrency exchange Binance have jointly requested a 60-day pause in their ongoing legal proceedings, citing progress in settlement negotiations.

最近，我們寫道，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）和加密貨幣交易所二進制聯合要求在他們正在進行的法律程序中停止60天，理由是解決方案談判方面的進展。
