The statements mark cruciality as Justin has previously faced SEC charges for wash trading and unregistered millions in TRX transactions and payments between 2018 and 2019. After the SEC paused investigation in February 2025, following Justin Sun’s large crypto investment in U.S. political projects, this new claims again resurfaced the past activities.
Alleged Insider Claims
According to Zeng, Justin Sun allegedly used employee identities and mobile phones to create multiple Binance accounts. These accounts were reportedly used to coordinate buying and selling, artificially pump TRX prices, and then dump massive positions on retail investors, generating large profits.
Zeng claims to possess detailed evidence, including chat records and other internal material from TRON employees that she is willing to share with the SEC.
She allegedly stated to have the “Epstein Files” of crypto space.
Price Impact: Current Performance
TRX fell 1.07% to $0.2836 in the last 24 hours, underperforming its 90-days +2% trends. While the claim could play a role in the price decline, for now, many analysts say that this downturn is majorly coordinated with the broader crypto market which dropped 2.56%.
Additionally, TRX’s network experienced a 60% fee reduction in August, which lowered revenue and may have dampened long-term investor sentiment, despite growing usage.

Experts note that unverified insider claims often create temporary panic but do not always result in long-term market impact.
Could It Be Fake?
While Zeng presented herself significantly with detailed evidence, many users are cautious that such claims may be influenced by personal grievances, or attempts to gain attention.
At the same time, some screenshots circulating in Chinese crypto circles show her seeking a $200,000 loan from Justin Sun to cover her leveraged position, fuels the personal attack narratives.
For now, independent verification by authorities is essential before concluding the allegations’ credibility. The mix of insider testimony, past SEC cases, and political connections makes the story complex and highly debated in crypto communities.
