According to BlockBeats on August 14, cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun has initiated legal proceedings against Bloomberg L.P., arguing that the news organization intends to improperly release his confidential financial data. The company had reportedly gathered this information during the verification process for its prestigious Billionaire Index ranking.

Sun’s lawsuit centers on allegations that Bloomberg plans to make public his highly sensitive and proprietary financial information—details the media outlet obtained while conducting asset assessments. The filing specifically objects to what Sun characterizes as a “reckless and improper” handling of personal financial documentation that should remain protected and confidential.

The dispute underscores broader tensions around privacy in wealth verification practices, particularly as major financial indices like Bloomberg’s maintain processes for documenting ultra-high-net-worth individuals. The case raises questions about the safeguards media organizations implement when handling the personal financial records of prominent figures during their research and verification operations.
