The point of cryptocurrencies is that it doesn't matter how sketchy the founder is or how stupid there motives were. The ledger isn't under their control.

It isn't all that unexpected that the Monero founder is weird and has a colourful backstory. He'd have to be odd to found a project like Monero. It is darkly funny if he was then trying to leverage his leadership position to directly scam people though.




He stole money. I don't find that very colorful or weird. It's criminal. Why should such a person be given a US visa? [0]
