OKX and Justin Sun Clash Over Stolen Funds Freeze Notice
A heated public debate has erupted between cryptocurrency exchange OKX and TRON founder Justin Sun. The argument centers on alleged communication issues regarding a freeze notice for stolen funds.
Justin Sun claimed that a law enforcement agency had sent a freeze notice to OKX’s official email. However, he said there was no response. Sun stated he had “no other means of contacting OKX’s compliance team.”
OKX CEO Star Xu challenged Sun’s claims. He said the exchange’s law enforcement cooperation team checked all emails, including the spam box, and found no related requests. Xu asked sun for proof via X: “Can you give us the screenshot to show when the enforcement agency sent the request to us?”
Star also explained OKX’s procedures for law enforcement cooperation. He directed Sun to the exchange’s public policy: “You can offer some preliminary evidence of the incident through the public reporting channels.”
OKX has a consumer protection policy. Star insisted they can’t freeze a customer’s funds based on Sun’s personal X post or oral communication. Sun later deleted his original tweet, but screenshots remain.
