Justin Sun Sues Bloomberg Over His Asset Data
Date: 2025-08-15 Author: Oliver Abernathy Categories: BUSINESS
Tron founder Justin Sun has filed a lawsuit against the Bloomberg news agency, demanding a temporary ban on the publication of any data about his financial assets. The reason for the lawsuit was the profile in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index published on August 11, which, according to Sun, contained inaccurate information that distorted the real picture of his wealth.
According to his representatives, the publication made serious errors in the description of assets, which not only violates confidentiality, but also potentially threatens the safety of the entrepreneur and his family. The lawsuit states that Bloomberg "recklessly discloses highly personal and sensitive information" without the consent of its owner.
Sun said that back in February he received an offer from a Bloomberg journalist to join the Billionaires Index. To do this, it was necessary to confirm and verify his assets. He agreed, receiving, as he claims, “clear assurances” that the information would be kept secret and used only for analytics.
However, on August 2, anticipating the publication, the entrepreneur sent a letter to Bloomberg demanding that details about his assets not be disclosed. Despite this, the publication stated that the material would still be published. In the published report, according to Sun, he was credited with owning a cryptocurrency with which he “never had any connection” and which he did not control. However, his actual cryptocurrency assets were not mentioned.
Sun emphasized that such an error could lead to serious consequences, including the threat of hacking, kidnapping, or physical attack. “This puts me and my family in danger,” the lawsuit says.
Bloomberg, in turn, announced its intention to challenge the lawsuit, stating that Sun’s claims are debatable and lack sufficient grounds.
The case has become the latest episode in a series of conflicts between the media and representatives of the crypto industry, where issues of confidentiality and reliability of information are becoming key.
