TRON founder Justin Sun cancels lunch with Warren Buffett due to health complications

TRON and BitTorrent CEO Justin Sun just canceled his lunch with Warren Buffett due to sudden health complications just three days ahead of the meeting, according to a post on Weibo.

Within the hour Dovey Wan, founding partner of Primitive Ventures and expert on the Chinese cryptocurrency markets, posted a screenshot of an announcement from Justin Sun on Chinese social media app Weibo.

In June, Justin Sun won a charity auction with a bid of $4.57 million to have lunch with the renowned value investor.

Justin Sun's lunch with Warren Buffett just days away.

The crypto entrepreneur's outrageously high bid was prompted by his admiration for Buffett, who he called "One of the most accomplished American businessmen in history." Sun also wanted to use the opportunity to present the great potential of blockchain technology to one of Bitcoin's harshest critics.

With the heavily-publicized event just three days away and just a few of the seven seats at the lunch filled, many were wondering who will be joining Sun and Buffett.

In an interview with CNBC, Justin Sun said that he would invite some of the most well-known names in crypto-including Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Litecoin founder Charlie Lee, and Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, along with a host of other "Opinion, exchange, and mining leaders."

Changpeng Zhao thanked Sun for the opportunity, but said he was unable to come as the San Francisco lunch was "Too far." Vitalik Buterin is yet to publicly respond to Sun's invitation but has quickly been written off by many in the crypto community.

Some of the industry's heavyweights will be joining Sun and Buffett in San Francisco's legendary Quince restaurant.

The founder and CEO of eToro thanked Sun for the invitation on Twitter and said he would be honored to join him and Buffett.
