The SEC accuses Sun Yuchen and his company of selling unregistered securities through Tron and BitTorrent (BTT) tokens and engaging in manipulative money laundering transactions. The SEC claims that Sun Yuchen spent more than 380 days in the US from 2017 to 2019, with travel destinations including New York, Boston, and San Francisco. Sun Yuchen argues that the token sales were conducted entirely overseas, avoiding the US market, and therefore the SEC has no jurisdiction over him and the Tron Foundation, which is headquartered in Singapore.
