Binance CEO “CZ” and Tron Founder Justin Sun Spat

On Monday, Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao warned Tron founder Justin Sun to avoid participating in the Binance Launchpool’s SUI farming. He said the Binance Launchpool is for retail customers and not for him or any whales.

Justin Sun apologized and said the primary reason behind depositing TUSD is to increase liquidity. He refunded the funds as some team members have unknowingly participated in exchange campaigns.
