OKX vs. Justin Sun: Drama Over a Hack and a Freeze
Tron’s official X account got hacked. The attacker dropped a fake contract — and Justin Sun immediately asked OKX to freeze funds linked to the exploit.
But OKX CEO Star Xu wasn’t having it.
His response?
“We can’t freeze user funds because of a tweet. There are laws. There’s a process.”
Xu says Sun never submitted an official request. No email. No docs. No case. Just DMs.
He even checked the spam folder. Still nothing.
TLDR:
• TRON DAO’s X was hacked.
• Sun wanted OKX to freeze funds — fast.
• OKX said: not without legal steps.
• Sun now claims he’ll message privately.
Meanwhile: X account hacks in crypto are exploding — TRON, Kaito, Pump.fun, even UK MPs. Same pattern: hack, post scam, push fake token.
This space needs more security — and less blame games.
