Tron Community in Uproar as Genesis Coins Used in Super Reps Vote

The Tron community was beside itself on Wednesday, Feb. 19 after founder Justin Sun's address was shown to have voted in two Tron Foundation apps as a Super Representative.

That's despite Tron CEO Justin Sun's insistence that he and his foundation have nothing to do with community voting.

The use of an address so clearly affiliated with the Tron Foundation has upset many members of the coin's community.

One Tron Society member took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to demand an explanation from founder Justin Sun:."The vote in of the Tron-Bet and Tron-Ace was done using the ZION account. Can we get an explanation please."

The same user later added to the statement that the Zion account " was used to vote in SRs which Justin is 'invested' in even after the statement from Justin he nor the foundation have participated in voting.

Tron documentation written by Justin Sun clearly states that neither he nor the Tron Foundation engage in community voting.

Those funds were then used to vote Binance in as lead Super Representative.

A Tron insider who wanted to remain anonymous noted at the time that "They have enough votes to vote in 20 SRs and basically start Binance Chain version two. The community is pretty pissed about it."
