On-Chain Detective Unveils Potential Tron Ponzi Scheme<\/h2>\n

An X (formerly Twitter) user going by the username <\/span>@BoringSleuth<\/span><\/a> has gained the attention of the crypto community after uncovering potential evidence of <\/span>Tron<\/span><\/a> allegedly being a Ponzi scheme governed by one of the world’s largest crypto criminal drug cartels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BoringSleuth disclosed that the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has sanctioned eight Chinese Communist Party (CCP) companies for allegedly operating a clandestine drug production and distribution sales network around Fentanyl.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The crypto investigator revealed that more than half of the wallets owned by these companies were traced back to Tron and the remainder allegedly being on the Ethereum blockchain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After analyzing the original sales of the <\/span>TRX<\/span><\/a> token, BoringSleuth stated that he had reviewed the top 20 cryptocurrency wallets in Tron\u2019s original token sale list to decipher the owners of the wallets and how much TRX supply these wallets have acquired.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the investigator, out of the 20 wallets, 17 were created and owned by the infamous criminal organization disguised to represent genuine investors. He revealed that the criminal organization was connected to the CCP, and 98% of Tron\u2019s total token supply was received by these 17 wallets.<\/span><\/p>\n

The on-chain investigator also mentioned that cryptocurrency exchanges like Huobi Global, and cryptocurrencies like <\/span>Shiba Inu<\/span><\/a> may also be linked to the CCP and Wanxiang, a Chinese multinational conglomerate and the team that funded Ethereum Foundation wallets and Ethereum\u2019s Founder, <\/span>Vitalik Buterin.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
