TRON Wants Dismissal of the SEC Lawsuit: Arguing SEC Lacks Authority to Regulate Globally

Crypto News – The SEC has launched a complaint, which TRON, its founder Justin Sun, and an affiliated company called Rainberry have formally requested be dismissed.

TRON Wants Dismissal of the SEC Lawsuit: Arguing SEC Lacks Authority to Regulate Globally

The defendants in the document, Tron Foundation Limited, BitTorrent Foundation Ltd., Justin Sun, and Rainberry, Inc., collectively called the defendants, contend that the SEC‘s accusations are insufficient evidence to support their claims that they supplied or sold digital assets to US citizens. They asserted that every transaction was carried out abroad.

The statement also made it clear that the BitTorrent Foundation and the Tron Foundation are Singaporean organizations that only performed business in other countries, did not have offices in the US, and did not hire any Americans. In that regard, TRON emphasizes how limited the SEC’s authority is.

TRON and its co-defendants contend that additional clarity is necessary for digital asset entities to adhere to legal requirements.
