Tron founder Justin Sun recently shared praise for former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) in a series of posts. Sun depicted CZ in a positive light, highlighting valuable lessons that could have been learned from him despite his current legal troubles and imprisonment.

Sun emphasized the significance of prioritizing ethical practices over shortcuts, drawing parallels between the approaches of Alibaba founder Jack Ma and CZ. He noted Ma's emphasis on the importance of providing value to users, suggesting that profit should be a byproduct rather than the primary goal. Sun underscored the idea that both Ma and CZ prioritized user protection, citing his own experiences at Ma's Hupan University and observing Alibaba's user-centric approach.

Furthermore, Sun highlighted CZ's commitment to prioritizing users, even amid challenges, emphasizing the importance of maintaining this focus consistently. However, Sun's remarks have stirred controversy, particularly given CZ's recent legal issues, leading some to question the intention behind Sun's praise and suggesting it might be an attempt to deflect attention.
