Justin Sun Reportedly Loses Diplomatic Status in Grenada After Party Ousted from Power

Reported Coindesk, Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron blockchain, has reportedly lost his status as a diplomat for Grenada.

The news comes after the Grenada Broadcasting Network` reported that Sun was stripped of his ambassadorial position sometime after the June 2022 election, when the New National Party, which granted him his title, was ousted from power by the National Democratic Congress. While all ambassadors were recalled in the early months of the new administration, Sun has not publicly acknowledged the loss of his position.

Sun was appointed as World Trade Organization ambassador by the government of Grenada in 2021. Since his appointment, he has frequently referred to himself as "His Excellency" in interviews and on social media. Sun tweeted from his diplomatic Twitter account (@HEjustinsun) as recently as October and, at the time of writing, still maintained the "H.E." honorific on his personal Twitter account. However, representatives for Sun and his company, Tron, have not yet responded to requests for comment on the matter.

The recall of all ambassadors followed the 2022 election, in which the New National Party was replaced by the National Democratic Congress. Officials with Grenada's foreign affairs office and government information services didn't return requests for comment about whether Sun is still a diplomat.
