Citrini analyst Jukan responds to controversy: Acknowledges past misconduct and apologizes, vowing to rebuild trust through long-term actions
Odaily News: Citrini analyst Jukan recently issued a public statement addressing the controversy sparked by his past online activities, acknowledging that some of the exposed old posts were indeed posted by himself, and apologizing for past inappropriate remarks, unauthorized dissemination of others' information, and insufficient source attribution.
Jukan stated that recent posts and allegations about his past online behavior have been circulating on platforms such as X, and he acknowledged that some of the content was indeed posted by him in the past, adding that he will not evade the responsibilities he should bear, but hopes to distinguish between confirmed facts and further speculation from outside parties. He was active in multiple online communities for a long time in his youth, and at the time, he excessively pursued attention and interaction, deliberately posting controversial content to provoke reactions from others. Reflecting on the past, Jukan believes these actions were "immature and wrong," and some of his political or social views do not fully represent his current values, but were intended to generate discussion and attention.
Jukan stated that since the end of 2024, he has been focusing on the semiconductor industry, initially mainly compiling and sharing public news and materials. As his account grew, he hoped to provide more information that had not been discussed, but during this process, issues such as insufficient source attribution and the mixing of inadequately verified information with personal judgment once again emerged. For those who disseminate information, it is very important to distinguish between "verified information," "information provided by others," and "personal speculation," and in the past, he was overly focused on account growth and content output, failing to consistently uphold the proper standards of information verification and citation.
However, Jukan emphasized that past source issues do not mean all of his content is false or plagiarized. Some content came from public news, company filings, and research reports, and over time, he also began obtaining first-hand information from industry professionals and market participants, combined with his own analysis.
Jukan expressed his understanding that building trust requires long-term accumulation, but losing trust can happen in a very short time. He pledged to place greater emphasis on information verification and original source attribution in the future, and to clearly distinguish between facts, others' opinions, and his own judgment.
