Crypto Chaos Unleashed: DoJ, Trump, and the Unlikely Bromance!

by

So it appears that the Wall Street Journal has once again decided to stir the pot by reporting how Binance honchos cozied up to U.S. Treasury officials. The goal? To charm their way back into the U.S. market. In exchange, it seems that our dear friend Changpeng Zhao (CZ) was expected to quietly slip some backstage evidence about Tron’s very own Justin Sun. Naturally, Sun, in his infinite wisdom (and with a dash of nonchalance), proclaimed that CZ is his mentor and that his closets are as bare as his punchlines. 😏

Justin Sun Squashes Rumors (With a Wink)

In a moment that could only be described as equal parts earnest and eyebrow-raising, Tron founder Justin Sun took to the X platform to address swirling rumors. As if auditioning for a role as a mentor-in-chief, he stated:

“CZ is both my mentor and a close friend—he has played a crucial role in supporting me during my entrepreneurial journey.”

Sun then lavished praise on Zhao’s so-called leadership and ethics, setting an impossibly high standard that he, as a founder, apparently aspires to. Not stopping there, he went on to describe TRON’s relationship with the U.S. Department of Justice as one of its “closest and most trusted partners” — a connection that, frankly, sounds as comforting as a warm scarf on a chilly day. 🤨

Ever the consummate optimist in a field that’s anything but predictable, Sun assured us that he maintains honest, direct communication with both CZ and his DOJ pals. In his mind, nobody fancies more reliable cocktail party banter.

And if that wasn’t enough to leave you chuckling, Justin even had the nerve to express boundless optimism about crypto policies under U.S. President Donald Trump. Yes, you read that right. He proudly announced that as Trump’s earliest crypto choice, TRX is destined to ride the wild waves of success. ALL IN USA! 😂

Is WSJ Launching a Hit Job on CZ?

Not one to be left out of the fun, Binance chief Changpeng Zhao jumped on his X platform, bluntly exposing the Journal for churning out yet another baseless hit piece. According to him, the WSJ’s antics are as predictable as a rerun and about as subtle as a sledgehammer.

Earlier just last month, the WSJ even spun a tantalizing tale involving the Trump family, alleging they were angling for a stake in Binance.US in exchange for a pardon for CZ. Naturally, CZ quickly dismissed the story as utterly, unequivocally baseless—much like an empty cookie jar. 🍪

As if this circus wasn’t enough to keep us entertained, on Friday the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Binance joined forces to ask a federal judge for a 60-day extension on their legal case pause. It’s as if both parties decided that their “productive discussions” needed a little more time to marinate—like a fine wine slowly turning to vinegar on the countertop. 🙃
