According to Fortune, CoinDesk is in conflict with its parent company Bullish over the report that Justin Sun purchased and consumed the 'most expensive banana in the world' for $6.2 million. The report mentioned Sun's involvement in fraud allegations by the U.S. SEC and the potential illegal financial use of Tron, which displeased Sun's team. CoinDesk's parent company, the cryptocurrency exchange Bullish, allegedly requested the editorial team to remove the article from the website. Tron is a major sponsor of CoinDesk's flagship conference series, Consensus. CoinDesk's journalists raised concerns about editorial independence.
