Justin Sun, founder of Tron, has announced a new AI system designed to find crypto criminals. He says this system can process complex case data quickly and identify suspects. Sun shared that the AI has already analyzed cases worth over $1 billion. To encourage its use, Sun pledges $100 million in rewards for those who help catch criminals. A website called web3bounty.io now accepts tips from the public.
This launch comes just weeks after Sun settled a long-standing SEC case for $10 million. All claims were dismissed, clearing the way for new projects. Sun claims his team built this AI independently, aiming to improve law enforcement efforts against crypto fraud.
Sun also listed several individuals and companies accused of misusing over $456 million linked to the stablecoin TrueUSD. He has been pursuing legal action against First Digital Trust for failing to return funds. The web3bounty website also mentioned other suspects involved in the alleged theft.
Despite the allegations, First Digital Trust denied Sun’s accusations. The new AI system offers a different approach, combining technology with law enforcement. Its ability to analyze large amounts of data in a short time could make crypto crime-solving more effective.
Recently, Tron’s native token, TRX, traded around $0.31, up about 4% in a week. Meanwhile, reports show Tron’s network volume remains high, with over $7.9 trillion in USDT transfers last year. Experts see Sun’s AI project as a step forward in tackling the ongoing challenges of crypto crime and protecting investors and users.
