Crypto Critics' Corner

Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky has entered a guilty plea in his criminal fraud trial, which was scheduled to begin in about two months. His Celsius cryptocurrency platform collapsed in July 2022 after it couldn't meet customer withdrawal demands. Its failure was particularly devastating because it had actively marketed itself to customers as safer than banks, regularly telling customers that "banks are not your friends".

Eve Online developer angers fans with announcement that their new game will be blockchain-based

CCP, the developer of the Eve Online space MMORPG, has angered their fanbase with a new announcement that their upcoming game will be built on the blockchain and incorporate cryptocurrency for in-game transactions. According to an FAQ, the spin-off game (previously called "Project Awakening" and now titled "Eve Frontier") will use a layer-2 blockchain called Redstone."There is still time. You can still roll it back and pretend it never happened. Please. None of us want this crypto slop, this desperate cash grab, this attempt at 'creating something great,' this game where buzzwords seem more important than gameplay," wrote one player on the game's subreddit.A tweet announcing the game was celebrated by some crypto advocates, but attracted some critical responses from players. One wrote, "releasing a blockchain game a year after the weird hype about that technology died so now you got a shitty concept and don't even get a pay-off for it. let's see how this is going to turn out :)"

AssangeDAO accused of rug pull after transferring treasury to German foundation

AssangeDAO was a project created to fundraise for the legal defense of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been fighting espionage and computer intrusion charges for over a decade, and who was imprisoned in the United Kingdom for several years. The DAO raised around $55 million, and when Assange reached a plea deal and was sentenced to time serve, around $10 million remained.This $10 million was later sent to a German non-profit foundation called the Wau Holland Foundation, which has also been fundraising and managing funds relating to Assange's legal defense. However, this transfer raised serious concerns among some members of the DAO who say they've effectively been cut out of decisionmaking, that the funds were transferred without their approval, and allege the treasury was mismanaged and crashed in value as a result.Hacktivist, bitcoin core developer, and AssangeDAO organizer Amir Taaki accused fellow AssangeDAO organizer: "Harry Halpin you should be honest and direct with the people here. You believe the money should be kept in a foundation controlled by your people with Julian. You do not respect the community or believe in the DAO."
