The founder of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson, jokingly expressed interest in buying CoinDesk after the media outlet faced internal turmoil. CoinDesk's parent company, Bullish, fired three top editors, including the editor-in-chief, Kevin Reynolds, amid tensions over an article about TRON founder Justin Sun. The article, which covered Justin's purchase and consumption of a $6.2 million banana art installation and his SEC fraud charges, was taken down after pressure from Justin's team. The firings and removal of the article led to low morale among CoinDesk employees, with many considering other job opportunities. Critics suspect Justin's ties to CoinDesk, as TRON is a major sponsor of CoinDesk's flagship conference. Charles Hoskinson, who has criticized crypto journalism in the past, had previously considered purchasing CoinDesk.
