Insider has made allegations against Ethereum’s founders Vitalik Buterin, and Joseph Lubin
Ethereum’s Credibility Under Spotlight
There have been allegations made against Ethereum’s founders, Vitalik Buterin and Joseph Lubin, by an insider who claims that their fraudulent activities far surpass those seen in the FTX fraud.
Steven Nerayoff, a lawyer who has served as an advisor for Ethereum, has accused the founders of massive fraud, alleging that they surpass SBF’s wrongdoing by 1000x. He implies close ties between Buterin, Lubin, and allegedly corrupt U.S. government officials.
The allegations stem from theories of bribery surrounding Ethereum’s ICO. In a lawsuit, more than two dozen ex-employees sued Lubin, accusing him of leaving workers with worthless shares in a Swiss holding company called Consensys AG by shuffling assets including crypto wallet provider MetaMask out of the unit.
It is important to note that these are allegations and have not been proven in court.
