The Bizarre Back-and-Forth Between Star Xu and Justin Sun: OKX Drama Unfolds

by

In what can only be described as a cryptocurrency exchange drama, OKX CEO Star Xu and TRON founder Justin Sun have engaged in a public spat over, you guessed it, stolen funds and a mysterious freeze request. Ah, the excitement of the digital currency world – where things can be frozen as quickly as your hopes of making money.

“You Didn’t Check Your Spam!”

Star Xu, in a move of pure digital detective work, clapped back, stating that the exchange’s law enforcement cooperation team had, in fact, checked every corner of their email inbox, including the dreaded spam folder. The result? No requests, nada, zip. He even took to X (formerly Twitter) to explain this revelation to Sun, as if he were some sort of cosmic email expert:

“Dear Mr. H.E. Justin Sun, our LE cooperation team just checked the email, including the spam box, we haven’t received any request related with this case. Can you give us the screenshot to show when the enforcement agency sent the request to us?”

Yes, folks, the drama unfolds with an email search so thorough it would make even the most seasoned spam filters shudder. And as if this wasn’t enough, Star Xu kindly reminded Sun that OKX has an official procedure for law enforcement cooperation, which, surprise surprise, involves more than just making a public post on X. Fancy that, right?

“OKX has a public LE cooperation policy. You can offer some preliminary evidence of the incident through the public reporting channels…we will do a temporary urgent freeze according to the evidence. Then you should work with LE agents to offer us legal documents to continue the freeze,” he added. Oh, and let’s not forget about the small detail that OKX can’t just freeze someone’s funds based on Sun’s personal X post or any random chat. That would be, well, absurd.

Sun, not one to let things slide, quickly deleted his original tweet, though, of course, the internet never forgets, and many users had already captured it in glorious screenshots. The post, before its disappearance, had claimed that OKX was ignoring official freeze notices from law enforcement regarding the stolen funds. Drama, suspense, and a deleted tweet – all in a day’s work in the world of cryptocurrency exchanges.
