Rumors mounting around Huobi
On Aug. 6, Adam Cochran, a Yearn Finance contributor and partner at CEHV, claimed Huobi had been allegedly lying about its asset holdings.
He said in a Twitter thread that the exchange currently holds roughly $92.98 million worth of USDT and USDC combined, while Huobi’s “Merkle Tree Audit” suggests over 631 million USDT.
Moreover, the analyst added that Huobi utives and Tron personnel were questioned by police. In another tweet replying to a representative from Huobi, Cochran states a Tron utive has already verified the investigation reports.
Furthermore, Cochran’s tweet suggests Sun has also been sharing inaccurate data regarding his Staked Tether (stUSDT). Sun’s product claims to have over 351,000 stakers, but on-chain data shows that Huobi and its advisor control 98% of the token.
According to the thread, the exchange has also been sharing false data about its Ethereum holdings, with the analyst claiming that Sun is holding 50% of the total 141,000 stETH on Huobi.
“Just like he did with Poloniex, Sun has been using Huobi as a personal piggy bank to earn from user deposits – and he can’t honor the balances there on ETH or USDT if users try and withdraw or sell in bulk.”
