san francisco: But Monday night, Sun's Tron Foundation announced on Twitter that the meeting had been postponed, saying Sun had fallen ill with kidney stones, with both parties agreeing to reschedule at a later date, according to Market Watch. Then things took an odd turn. Sun, founder of the Tron cryptocurrency and chief executive of Bit Torrent, was to have a private lunch with Buffett, a noted crypto skeptic, Wednesday in San Francisco. Early Tuesday, Chinese media outlet Caixin reported that Sun, a Chinese national, actually canceled because he was barred from leaving China, citing a report by China's 21st Century Business Herald that he was detained there and under investigation for illegal fundraising, money laundering, gambling and spreading pornography. As for his location, Sun tweeted photos of himself apparently in San Francisco, as well as a nine-minute live Periscope video in which the city's Bay Bridge can clearly be seen in the background. Sun quickly denied the report in a post on Chinese social-media site Weibo, as well as the specific allegations, saying it is not true that his company was involved in illegal behavior, according to a Google translation.
