A "highly respected" veteran in the crypto circle who has been around for a long time,

He once harshly called Sun a scammer, and Sun casually responded with a lyric.

Honestly, the main reason why Sun is criticized for "cutting leeks" and fundraising,
has never been about those leek-cutting or fundraising activities,
but because he is too glamorous.
Many people may never have the chance to dine with Buffett and go to space in their lifetime,
but he achieved both in his twenties or thirties,
and even gained a position within the system.

So where should those old folks put their faces?
Both those in the shadows and those in the open will definitely criticize him.

Of course, I’m not saying Sun is a white lotus. His money indeed comes from cutting leeks, and the reasons for criticizing and scolding him are not unjustified.
But in this big melting pot of the financial world, compared to others who just make money and do nothing, he is still much more decent.
Look at those old guys from the ICOs in 2017 and 2018—no matter what you say, Sun is more responsible than they are.
$trx times more than that.

So if I have to say what he did wrong, I think his biggest mistake was not managing his gains well, which triggered other predators.
