Justin Sun sues Bloomberg to prevent the publication of crypto asset information

Justin Sun, the founder of #TRON , has filed a lawsuit against Bloomberg to prevent the magazine from publishing details of his cryptocurrency assets. Sun argues that the disclosure of this "secret" information could put him at "significant and imminent" risk of theft, cyber attacks, kidnapping, and bodily harm.

Allegations of breach of confidentiality

According to the lawsuit, #JustinSun provided detailed information about his crypto assets to Bloomberg to verify his assets in the Billionaire Index. In return, Sun was given a commitment that this information would be kept "completely confidential." However, Bloomberg now intends to publish these specific figures, despite the initial promises.

Risk of attacks and real-world evidence

Justin Sun is concerned that making this information public would allow bad actors to use "address clustering" techniques to identify his cryptocurrency wallet. The lawsuit emphasizes the risks of "wrench attacks," in which criminals use violence to coerce victims into transferring cryptocurrency. The lawsuit also cites real-world cases, such as kidnappings in France and Uganda, where victims were subjected to violence to force cryptocurrency transfers. Sun believes that the publication of specific crypto assets will significantly increase the risk of such attacks. #anh_ba_cong
