ChainCatcher news, Sun Yuchen once again accused FDT of fraud. He stated: First Digital Trust (FDT) openly disregards all fiduciary duties and regulatory norms, claiming to represent Techteryx in managing a securities portfolio of up to $501.8 million for the Aria Commodity Finance Fund in its own legal name. According to the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Ordinance (SFO), any individual or company providing securities portfolio management services must hold a Type 9 license from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, unless the service is limited to its wholly-owned subsidiaries or provided by its 100% owned parent company. Clearly, FDT is not only ignoring the fundamental principles of the trust industry but is also openly contemptuous of Hong Kong's banking and investment laws. In other words, its actions have completely disregarded Hong Kong's regulatory authorities and law enforcement agencies.Furthermore, Sun Yuchen believes that FDT has not only fallen into negative assets but has also had negative net assets for three consecutive years. By the end of 2024, its net assets are projected to be negative HKD 100 million. This does not include the massive losses caused by its large-scale misappropriation of user assets. Even so, it can still publicly manage billions of dollars in public assets in the market today.Previously, First Digital responded: it will take legal action against Sun Yuchen's "slanderous behavior."
