Okay; I agree then that it’s reasonable to say of Ben Delo that Hayes and cofounders were accused of trying to defraud two early investors, that Ben Delo is accused of taunting them with a meme, and that they settled out of court.
I do note that this is pretty different from what Vaughan was previously accusing Delo of, which sounded pretty plausibly like a “victimless crime”.
Again, that’s just one of the civil suits. They settled that civil suit, were found liable in another, and Delo also pleaded guilty to federal charges after BitMEX was used to launder stolen crypto.
Not good! And if that’s the person you’ve been publicly celebrating for contributing to your org, it’s not permissible to sweep it under the rug afterwards just because it’s not as high profile as something like, say, SBF’s fraud.
I don’t, in fact, take federal charges like that seriously—I view it as a case of living in a world with bad laws and processes—but I do take seriously the notion of betraying an investor’s investment and trust.
