Tron's founder Justin Sun seems to have landed in hot water at some point in the past, and he keeps on swimming in it. In the past several days, he had two more issues to address.
Soon after Sun called his own company's native coin, , a shitcoin, drawing the Cryptoverse's criticism, another issue arose for him to explain - itself connected to a number of past controversies - namely, the (in)famous Warren Buffett lunch-turned-dinner. Sun had praised both the event and the billionaire crypto-sceptic himself, saying how Buffett is a holder now, given that Sun had gifted him 1 BTC and 1,930,830 TRX.
To this, in a this week, Buffett said that, no, he doesn't own any BTC, or any other crypto for that matter, as he continued to reiterate how useless, worthless, and utilized-for-illegal-purposes crypto is in his opinion. Though it was a pleasant dinner, his mind was not changed, says the critic, as Sun and guests' view of crypto wasn't altered by Buffett either.

The Cryptoverse looked towards Sun for an explanation. "The cryptos BTC/ TRX Mr. Buffett owns remain intact w/ blockchain proof which is the beauty of blockchain," writes Sun in his defense. "I won’t interpret Mr. Buffett as a crypto investor, which he’s not. He only has the BTC/TRX I gifted him, in his Samsung Galaxy Fold, which is a 20% return thus far!"
Sun added that the dinner was a success for the charity, but also that, should Buffett really make his own cryptocurrency as he joked in the interview, he'd support it, which drew a new round of gunfire from people saying that he's only proving Buffett's point.

As a short reminder, Sun in an auction, paying USD 4.57 million for it from the BitTorrent income (the data sharing protocol acquired by Tron), with the funds going to the Glide Foundation charity. Set for July, it was due to Sun's alleged kidney stone and possible by China's Communist Party. Then if finally , to many people's surprise, this January.
