BitTorrent Inc., operator of torrent client uTorrent, is reportedly in the process of being acquired by TRON founder Justin Sun, TorrentFreak reports Friday, May 25.
Earlier this year, Justin Sun had sued BitTorrent Inc. - which changed its name to Rainberry last year - for reportedly violating a “No Shop” clause from a letter of intent he had signed in January. Sun’s lawsuit notes that after the letter of intent was signed, BitTorrent’s David Chao told Sun that the company had received three “superior” bids from other companies with which they had communicated.
