What comes as a surprise to many, rumors are on the rise that Tron founder
Justin Sun has been handcuffed by law enforcement officers in Hong Kong.The details shared on Twitter are vague, however, many have come forward to call it out as a deliberate attempt to FUD the crypto project.At the time of writing, the TRX token has succumbed to the ongoing rumor as its price dropped by 1.2% in minutes following the news.

However, Justin Sun has finally responded to the rumor and his statement consists solely of the number “4”.This comes after the CEO of Binance,
