Ā Justin Sun, founder of Tron$TRX
, reportedly pressured CoinDesk to delete a spicy article about his $6.2M banana purchaseāan art piece from Maurizio Cattelan's āComedianā. Oh, and he allegedly ate it too. š„“Ā
The article didnāt just discuss Sunās pricey snack but also touched on his SEC troubles and accusations of Tron being used for shady financial activities. CoinDesk's tone? Too sour for Sunās liking. His team complained, and soon after, Bullish (CoinDesk's owner) had the piece removed.Ā
Ironically, Bullish once promised CoinDeskās editorial independence after acquiring it in 2023. Fast-forward, their editor-in-chief, a former WSJ leader, resigned this week. Guess bananas arenāt the only thing peeling under pressure. šš¤·āāļø
