gmgm ☀️ I need to address something (it's a bit long, but a more extensive article coming soon). the last few weeks have been hell. sickness, a death in the family, a car accident that messed me up bad, and Xeon Protocol... a project I dedicated my life to and was <7 days from launching (with backing from major names in the space) was rugged by the CEO, draining investors, leaving my family without an income, and 6 months of my life down the drain. But worse still, the CEO tried to blame me while immediately turning around and asking investors to help him start a new token. 24 hours prior to the rug I discovered that the founders are professional scammers, were farming the treasury, had installed keyloggers on employee devices, I told the CEO I had an obligation to expose him. I was immediately removed from all company comms, and the LP was drained. I'm writing a Paragraph article about this incident both to protect my reputation and expose the CEO for who he truly is. stay safe out there 🫡

Appreciate you man! He goes by ByteZero (dev_cozy) on Twitter. His real name is Cosmas Chiruka. When I met him, he presented himself as an investment banker from Singapore. After some suspicious behavior on his end, I found out that he is from Nigeria with no banking experience. So many red flags looking back that just seemed like quirks at the time. Even my hiring process was sketchy. He knew I just had a daughter and money was tight. He hired me with no interview or questions and made me CTO after a brief exchange on Twitter. When Xeon launched, he claimed that the idea came to him in 2023. No reason not to believe him. But later found that in 2019 he created "Bridge Finance" which was the exact same protocol as Xeon.
