PANews reported on February 5 that Justin Sun posted on social media X that Li Lin admitted that $30 million was still not returned, but when he verified it, it "disappeared." Justin Sun said that HTX has filed a lawsuit in Hong Kong, questioning Li Lin's avoidance of the issue.

HTX (formerly Huobi) founder Li Lin issued a statement this morning in response to Sun Yuchen's remarks on the HTX transaction process and financial status. Li Lin said that the two parties had differences in the calculation method of user assets during the transaction in October 2022, but there was no "fund concealment" or "funding gap". Li Lin emphasized that the transaction was signed in Hong Kong and is subject to legal supervision, and supports the resolution of disputes through Hong Kong courts or third-party arbitration.

Earlier today, Justin Sun said : Li Lin concealed the due diligence materials when selling Huobi, and there was a hole of 30 million US dollars inside .
