Justin Sun Escalates TUSD Dispute as Dubai Court Maintains $456 Million Global Asset Freeze

Sun urges tighter Hong Kong oversight, citing a Dubai asset freeze on disputed TrueUSD reserves.

Overview

  • At a Hong Kong briefing, Sun alleged First Digital Trust moved TUSD reserves offshore to Aria-linked entities and said documents were fabricated to mask transfers, claims FDT disputes.
  • Dubai’s DIFC Digital Economy Court kept a worldwide freeze on up to $456 million, with Judge Michael Black KC saying there are serious issues to be tried and no liability decided yet.
  • Court records describe reserves being placed into trade‑finance loans, energy and renewable projects, mining ventures, and ship purchases rather than held in cash or cash equivalents.
  • Sun said he injected nearly $500 million earlier this year to stabilize TrueUSD during heavy redemptions, and reporting indicates the stablecoin’s peg has held since.
  • He called on Hong Kong to close oversight gaps for trust service providers as parallel proceedings in Hong Kong and Dubai continue over ownership and possible unauthorized diversion of funds.
