However, in a post wherein he tagged Sun, the OKX CEO refuted the claims, stating that no official communications came from Tron to OKX.According to XU, the OKX law enforcement cooperation team has checked their email boxes, including the spam folder, and no such request exists. He insisted that Sun provide a screenshot of the request to prove that Tron initiated such a communication with OKX.XU clarified that the exchange has a consumer protection team, OKX strictly adheres to laws, and would not freeze a customer’s funds based on oral communication. He noted that not even a personal post on social media platforms qualifies as an official request; Tron and Sun should do the needful.Justin Sun Deletes Post, Opts for Private CommunicationInterestingly, Sun’s original post, which has now been deleted, had the Tron founder claiming to have reached out to OKX via email.
