Tron CEO Justin Sun Wants to Hire You to Organize His House

Token-funded blockchain project Tron is not only hiring while others cut staff, it's recruiting an entourage for its founder.

Among the 10 open positions that Tron Group, the company behind the namesake cryptocurrency, posted on Wednesday, two were for aides to the 28-year-old CEO, Justin Sun.

One of the jobs Tron is looking to fill is a senior executive assistant to the CEO, who would work with Sun's personal assistant, mentoring the latter and making sure his scheduling is done properly.

"Since Tron is self-funded by Justin, the two are essentially one and the same, although the duties obviously would be in the service of Tron activities."

To be sure, Tron is also looking to fill technical and business positions, not just handlers for Sun.

According to Edwards, Tron's current staff in the U.S. is about 90 people, and the startup is planning to hire five to ten more in the first quarter of 2019.

The file-sharing system's creator, Bram Cohen, recently disavowed any connection with Tron or Sun.

Tron recently announced launching BitTorrent's own token BTT, which can be used to incentivize users to share their bandwidth more actively for faster file exchanges.

The job descriptions posted Thursday don't mention BitTorrent or BTT. Tron has also been criticized for its marketing tactics.

According to CoinDesk's Crypto-Economics Explorer, social media activity around the native TRON token is 33% that of market bellwether bitcoin, compared to just 7.5% of developer activity.
