$50M Bounty for TUSD Misappropriation

Blockchain Security

$50 Million Bounty Launched to Recover Misappropriated TUSD Funds

Hong Kong, May 6, 2025 – A significant security incident has rocked the Web3 ecosystem. Approximately $456 million in TrueUSD (TUSD) stablecoin reserves have been misappropriated. To address this unprecedented breach, a $50 million bounty program has been launched on Web3Bounty.io.

This substantial reward is offered to incentivize the recovery of the stolen assets and bring those responsible to justice. The misappropriation involves Hong Kong-licensed trust companies and a network of intermediaries who allegedly exploited regulatory loopholes. Thousands of TUSD token holders are among the victims.

The Web3Bounty.io Program

Web3Bounty.io provides a platform for whistleblowers, insiders, and investigators to submit credible, original information. Submissions leading directly to the recovery of the funds are eligible for a share of the $50 million bounty pool – roughly 10% of the lost assets. The platform will provide regular updates on recovery progress, and all submissions undergo independent verification before rewards are distributed.

Justin Sun, Founder of TRON, publicly congratulated the launch of Web3Bounty.io, highlighting the importance of tackling Web3 scams and enhancing transparency. You can find his statement on X here.
