Last May, Sun had [won the bid for Warren Buffett’s annual charity auction luncheon](), after he placed a record-high bid of $4.57 million. He was allowed to bring up to seven of his friends to the private lunch with Buffet. After postponement, the previously planned lunch in San Francisco was rescheduled on Buffett’s terms for a dinner in Omaha. Sun said that they discussed the future of cryptocurrency, blockchain, and other topics. He shared few details of the dinner in a series of tweets: (8/12) [@WarrenBuffett]() believes there is great potential in [#blockchain]() & lots of his portfolio companies are exploring it such as [@jpmorgan]().

It became a failing of over-marketing that out of my control…I ignored the responsibility of being a public figure. This was not my original intent,” he said at the time.
