Fact Check
The claim is strongly supported by two primary Whale Alert transaction pages and two Whale Alert X posts. The Whale Alert transaction page at https://whale-alert.io/transaction/tron/ebe670f1518f67077d28ec4b54dd0d236a5f1edfa90651524aeb42a21e6975fe documents a freeze of 212,922,653 USDT on Tron at 2026-04-23T12:02:36Z. The Whale Alert transaction page at https://whale-alert.io/transaction/tron/295cd606150289dc18d9e0e4d9503adb9d1b10bde9c314158f9cfa7c9928b09a documents a freeze of 131,288,800 USDT on Tron a little over two minutes later. The corresponding Whale Alert X posts, Whale Alert X post 2047285302750789971 and Whale Alert X post 2047285587095232969, independently announce each freeze. Together they support the substance of the claim that two Tron wallets/addresses were frozen holding more than $344 million in USDT. The only minor issue is the article wording of 'about one minute apart'; the primary timestamps indicate roughly two minutes apart, but this does not materially undermine the core claim.
