He did acknowledge blockchain technology’s transparency as a positive aspect of this situation though.
Sun Clarifies Intended Purpose
Justin Sun replied clarifying that TRON DAO Venture – their partner market maker – had deposited these funds with the primary objective being facilitating market-making between leading TUSD exchanges in order to enhance liquidity and trading volumes rather than participating in exchange campaigns or promotions. Sun added that within a few hours their market maker achieved total trading volume worth $40 million which contributes towards stabilizing TUSD’s price as well.

Sun and his team realized some members weren’t aware of the intended purpose behind these funds and they were inadvertently used to participate in exchange campaigns or promotions without authorization; upon realization they contacted the respective exchanges rectifying their mistake immediately.
