Tron wants to change the entertainment industry. It will serve the purpose of forming a decentralised content entertainment system (so the website says). I haven't read the whitepaper but I was going through Justin Sun's twitter feed and his history. He seems to have a lot of influence in the market. Being a 30 under 30 on the Forbes list is an amazing achievement. I believe he has the influence to push the coin ahead.
As far as the rumors about the whitepaper, he says that because of bad translation many concepts have not been clearly mentioned in the English version. There is a guy on reddit who apparently read the whitepaper word for word.
