Man betrayed by Justin Sun now loves Justin Sun

A man promised a Tesla called Tron a "scam" when the deal was bundled. He's finally received his prize, but it still ain't a Tesla.

Remember Uziel Garcia (Twitter handle @uzgaroth), the guy from Puebla, Mexico who was promised a shiny new Tesla by “Tron” CEO Justin Sun? When it seemed as though Sun had pre-selected the winner, costing Garcia his rightful prize, Garcia called Tron a scam.

He was rug-chewing mad, he was!

Then there was further outrage, when Sun assured Garcia that he would be receiving his prize, which instead of a shiny Tesla would be a slightly less glamorous, er, ticket to a Tron conference. In 2020. Needless to say, Garcia was fuming.

“Can you explain to my 6-year-old son, you will not give him a Tesla because you were wrong, I had already told him that it would be his anniversary gift, he will meet the next 25th of May,” he tweeted, hatefully.

Surely, Garcia’s confidence in the silver-tongued embarassante had dwindled to zero.

Er, apparently not.

It seems Garcia, after much delay, finally got what he wanted—and now he loves Tron. To be clear, he was given $28,000 in “Tronix” (lol), which is actually nowhere near enough to buy a Tesla (also lol), but now he is literally exalting Sun as though he is Satoshi himself, come back from the dead with a basket of free bitcojones.

We reached out to Tron and Garcia for comment.

Lol.

Bulletproof Cadillac, Butler, and $1.5M Titanic Watch: FTX Exec's Lavish Spending Continues

As Sam Bankman-Fried stares down the barrel of a 25 year prison sentence, most of his former FTX colleagues have done their best to stay out of the limelight. But one former executive of the collapsed crypto exchange is now raising eyebrows for his extravagant purchases. Patrick Gruhn, the former head of FTX Europe, recently spent $1.5 million to acquire a gold watch found on the corpse of a victim of the Titanic, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. The watch originally belonged t...
