Team other-protocol involvement history

SUNSwap (sun.io)'s assessment for RD-F-113 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Justin Sun's other protocol involvement: TRON (founder 2017, live), Poloniex (acquired 2019, suffered $120M hack Nov-2023), HTX/Huobi (acquired, also hacked), USDD stablecoin, BitTorrent/Rainberry (SEC case party, paid $10M settlement), World Liberty Financial ($75M investor 2024-2025). Multiple Sun-affiliated platforms were hacked in a 2-month span per CoinTelegraph coverage. No prior rug-pull or exit-scam label for any SUNSwap deployer. Score yellow: involvement with multiple hacked platforms in the same ecosystem (not rugs, but operational-security pattern) warrants yellow without red.
