Judge Denies Justin Sun’s Bid to Block Bloomberg From Publishing Crypto Holdings
The ruling keeps Bloomberg’s figures online pending further litigation.
Overview
- U.S. District Judge Colm Connolly on Sept. 22 denied Justin Sun’s request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction.
- The court found Sun did not show a likely promissory‑estoppel claim, noting Bloomberg reporters denied making any confidentiality promise.
- The judge ruled the asset details were not private because similar estimates were already public and Sun had shared more specific Bitcoin information himself.
- Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index report lists over 60 billion TRX, about 17,000 BTC, 224,000 ETH, and 700 million USDT, and those figures remain published.
- Sun’s motion sought removal of the specific amounts, a retraction, and a ban on future publication, and the case proceeds as he faces separate regulatory scrutiny.
