Chinese crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun's legal troubles seem to be fading away as a federal judge has granted him a stay in the SEC's investigation. Sun, known for buying a $6.2 million banana duct-taped to a wall, was charged with manipulating the market and using his companies to wash trade securities. He also paid for celebrity endorsements without disclosure. The SEC charged eight celebrities in the scheme, including Lindsay Lohan, Jake Paul, Soulja Boy, and Lil Yachty. Sun invested $30 million in the President's World Liberty Financial (WLF) crypto scheme, leading to a big payout for Trump. Several celebrities agreed to settle with the SEC.
