The HT tokens in question were reportedly given to the concerned relative for free during the initial token airdrop.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Huobi Founder Asks Justin Sun To Provide Evidence\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Justin Sun took to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/justinsuntron\/status\/1658413236360998913\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Twitter<\/a> earlier today to publicly accuse Li Wei, the brother of Huobi founder Li Lin, of market dumping large amounts of zero-cost HT tokens. Sun revealed that when HT was initially distributed, Li Wei received millions of HT tokens for free. Wei has reportedly been selling his pile of HT through Huobi over the past few months and cashing out the profit. The impact of the dumping on HT\u2019s price has prompted the decentralized autonomous organization behind HT to take cognizance of the questionable trades and step in to rectify the matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tron founder informed the Huobi community on Twitter that in the interest of HT investors, the Huobi Global Advisory Committee and the HT DAO community have decided to recover and destroy the HT tokens obtained by Li Wei at zero cost. The burning of said tokens will be announced in the HT community soon. Huobi founder Li Lei reportedly responded to Sun\u2019s allegations by asking for evidence of the transactions made by his brother. Lei reportedly pledged 10x compensation to the exchange if the allegations are proven.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>As a platform that has been established for ten years, Huobi will never condone this behavior on the way back to the top three, and will never let anyone who really buys HT in the spot market be disappointed!
