Cryptopia co-founder and ex-former developer VCDragon revealed evidence that shows that the exchange hack was an inside job with an intention to destroy the exchange. More about this information we read in the latest cryptocurrency news today.
Just two days ago, @notsofast a twitter user, claimed to be the former developer at Cryptopia and tweeted a link to an article which he claims that there is ‘’the complete story of the fraudulent hostile takeover of Cryptopia by Internal from its founders Adam and Rob.’’
According to VCdragon, he and the Cryptopia co-founder Adam began creating Cryptopia as a hobby project back in 2014 and as the project went on, Adam resigned from his developer position at Intranel. He explained that Intranel didn’t want to give up Adam and offered him to rent an office in the company. The interest of the company continued to grow as the crypto exchange business took off. At the beginning of 2017, Adam and vcdragon believed that they could benefit from this business if Intranel provides support. As VCdragon explained:
‘’Intranel made us an offer that for 20% of the company they would handle all of the business management and development things like helping with hiring and managing staff, paying tax, lobbying for regulator guidance and all the ‘boring’ business stuff.’’
The company offered to contract about 4 people to the developers at a discounted rate and also to provide assistance with finding decent employees for Cryptopia. Since then, the story took a turn for the worse since Intranel hired staff only for themselves and contracted the new employees to Cryptopia and they were given unwarranted managerial latitude so when the exchange was very reliant on the staff, Intranel demanded more than 5% equity in the exchange.
The cryptopia co-founder resigned from the position and VCdragon claims that he was not even paid during the 1 month holiday. He stated:
‘’They bled money everywhere they could, we paid for tax on their staff’s flu shots? We paid taxes on Christmas fits to their staff and our company bought the gifts. Everything they were unable to take for themselves they pissed into the wind on needless expenses and luxuries to the company could not afford….that ultimately buried us. ‘’
In the coming altcoin news was reported that Intranel also attempted to sell the Cryptopia company and was also nearly bankrupt.
