According to @justinsuntron, he announced in April a rescue plan using personal funds to bail out all public TUSD holders and cover an approximately $500 million liquidity shortfall (source: @justinsuntron). He states the shortfall arose from alleged large-scale fraud and misappropriation by fiduciaries responsible for safeguarding TUSD reserves, naming ARIA group, First Digital Trust, Legacy Trust, Finaport, Truecoin, and individuals Matthew Brittain, Vincent Chok, Alex De Lorraine, and Yai Sukonthabhund (source: @justinsuntron). He says Techteryx has filed lawsuits across jurisdictions, including the Dubai International Financial Centre Courts, alleging roughly $500 million of TUSD reserves were misappropriated through fraud (source: @justinsuntron). He reports the DIFC Courts found there is a serious issue to be tried regarding alleged fraudulent inducement tied to representations that Aria Commodity Finance Fund was a low-risk, insured vehicle (source: @justinsuntron). He alleges funds were diverted to Aria Commodities DMCC and routed through multiple financial centers, then laundered or locked in non-redeemable loans linked to projects such as a UAE bitumen facility, African coal rights, crypto transactions with FTX, and commodity and infrastructure initiatives in the US, Ukraine, and Australia (source: @justinsuntron). For TUSD traders, he emphasizes the rescue plan aims to cover the liquidity gap while Techteryx pursues asset recovery via litigation, key factors to watch for redemption confidence and market liquidity (source: @justinsuntron).

According to the source, Justin Sun told a Hong Kong briefing that TUSD reserves were allegedly used illegally, heightening counterparty and depeg risk for TUSD trading pairs across spot and derivatives venues; source: Justin Sun public remarks in Hong Kong on Nov 27, 2025. According to the source, Sun also praised a reported 456 million global asset freeze by the DIFC Courts against Aria Commodities DMCC, indicating potential legal overhang for entities linked to TUSD reserve flows; source: Justin Sun public remarks in Hong Kong on Nov 27, 2025.

According to @justinsuntron, six months after announcing a bailout for all public TUSD holders, Techteryx has made progress in efforts to recover US$456 million allegedly siphoned from TUSD’s U.S. dollar reserves by parties including ARIA group, First Digital Trust, and Legacy Trust, with legal action ongoing, source: @justinsuntron. According to @justinsuntron, Justice Michael Black KC of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Courts affirmed a proprietary injunction and a worldwide freezing order against ARIA DMCC and all laundered proceeds belonging to TUSD, with the judgment published by the DIFC Digital Economy Court at difccourts.ae/rules-decisions/judgments-orders/digital-economy-court/techteryx-ltd-v-1-aria-commodities-dmcc-2-mashreq-bank-psc-3-emirates-nbd-bank-pjsc-4-abu-dhabi-islamic-bank-pjsc-2025-difc-dec, source: @justinsuntron; DIFC Courts judgment.
