Justin Sun takes crypto company public — reportedly with help from Eric Trump
Last year, Justin Sun was facing a federal investigation into his crypto empire, to the point that he avoided entering the US. Now, his company is going to be publicly listed on the American stock markets – and reportedly with the assistance of Eric Trump.
Tron, Sun's digital assets platform, announced on Monday that it plans to go public in the U.S. via a reverse merger with SRM Entertainment, a Nasdaq-listed company that previously designed merchandise for theme parks before pivoting to crypto. At the same time, Trump's sons announced the launch of Trump Mobile, an MVNO that will also sell a $499 gold Android phone.
On the company's site, SRM states that it has worked with Walt Disney World, SeaWorld, and Sesame Place. SRM says it has raised $100 million from a private investor to buy the Tron tokens (TRX), with plans to issue shares and warrants valuing the deal at up to $210 million.
The deal was brokered by Dominari Securities, a New York-based boutique investment bank operating out of Trump Tower, whose board includes both Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, the president's sons. Shortly after Trump's election, Sun became an advisor and investor in World Liberty Financial, the Trump family's crypto company, and promptly bought $75 million of their memecoin, $TRUMP, when the token launched in January.
By the end of February, the SEC had officially paused its investigation into Sun's businesses. Sun continued to invest in Trumpworld entities, both in crypto and elsewhere: in May, he won a private dinner with the president by buying $16 million worth of $TRUMP in a contest.

The findings show that high upfront cost remains a significant barrier to electric vehicle adoption, with drivers of gasoline-powered cars in both the US and Europe reporting declining interest in making the switch, the survey showed.

Boardman residents frustrated with messes left by fiber optic cable companies
BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) — A group of people from one Boardman neighborhood told township trustees on Monday that more needs to be done to hold companies accountable for cleaning up after installing new fiber optic cables. Lawyer and Park Harbour neighborhood resident John Shultz addressed the problems he and his neighbors have had with companies installing fiber optic cables in the neighborhood, where a trencher sits parked on a cul-de-sac surrounded by utility line markers and piles of dirt next to curbs. 'There's one driveway that's almost completely gone at the bottom where it addresses the street, or where it merges right into the street. They have knocked out street lights. They have put holes in,' Shultz said. Boardman Administrator Jason Loree said there's little the township can do when it comes to fiber optic installations, as they're regulated by the Federal Communications Commission. 'They've had some issues in Canfield. They've had some issues in Poland,' Loree said. 'They basically can come in here and work on a right of way, and we really have no way to stop them.' But the township has hired a lawyer to determine if it can require the installation companies to post a bond before being allowed to do the work. 'To ensure that they come into a neighborhood, they leave it the way they found it, and if they don't, we can pull the bond,' Loree said. 'I do like the bond suggestion. I think that's a necessity,' Shultz said. Another complaint was that a second crew follows the installation crew to repair the landscaping damage instead of fixing it as they go. Plus, Loree said, residents should be able to know when the crews are coming. 'Now they're supposed to put it back the way they found it. It doesn't always happen,' Loree said. 'And we're also wanting to make sure that when they are coming in your neighborhoods, they should, out of courtesy, be posting door hangers.' 'We would impose upon you to be our spokesperson to say, 'Hey, not only in Park Harbour, but anywhere — off Glenwood Avenue, off Market Street — these neighborhoods don't deserve this type of treatment,'' Shultz said to the trustees.
