Following the hack of Tron’s official X account, tensions have risen between Tron founder Justin Sun and crypto exchange OKX. Sun claimed OKX failed to act on a law enforcement request to freeze stolen funds, but OKX CEO Star Xu fired back strongly.
“OKX cannot freeze a customer’s funds based on a personal X post or verbal communication. We follow legal consumer protection policies. As a CEO yourself, you should understand this,” Xu said. He added that no such request had been received via official channels. “Our LE team checked all inboxes — including spam. No request related to this case was found,” Xu stated.
Tron DAO Confirms Account Breach
On May 3, Tron DAO informed its 1.7 million followers that the organization’s X account was compromised. The hacker reportedly shared a malicious smart contract address, sent suspicious DMs, and followed random accounts.

Sun claimed, “These stolen funds are not mine. I’m acting to protect the community.” His original post, which accused OKX of negligence, was later deleted. Xu responded by asking Sun to publicly share a screenshot of the alleged law enforcement request.
Crypto Twitter Faces Wave of Hacks
The Tron incident follows a series of high-profile security breaches targeting crypto accounts on X. On March 15, Kaito AI and its founder Yu Hu were hacked; attackers shorted KAITO tokens and posted fake security alerts.
Earlier on February 26, Pump.fun’s X account was hijacked to promote a fraudulent governance token. On April 15, UK MP Lucy Powell also had her account compromised to push a scam crypto coin.
