Earlier quoted context omitted.

The author is effectively ousted from the "company", physically assaulted, signs nothing, then spends '5 days' with 'the Aeternity lawyer' mulling over a contract? All of this after not being paid while their colleagues are being 'paid regularly.' My question is what/where is the legal void that this company existed in?!

Assuming you believe the OP. Things like "I didn't get paid so I am selling 0 days", or "I had to leave Europe to be safe because I fought with a guy", don't help me taking it seriously. Might be true. Might not be true. The only certainty is that this guy is a nutter.

Europe is large. Not sure what European country he's exactly in. Also even in the most advanced countries there are certainly still risks of the police not upholding justice.

The way he talks about his allergies and they would be handled makes it seem he was in a 3rd world country which makes me question the veracity of the whole thing.

Start a new company and exploit somebody else while earning all the big bucks and credit, that's how capitalism works.

You left out an important part which requires trading capital for labor. It's not exploitation.

> my only way to get paid is by selling zero-day exploits for people who want to attack Aeternity. It sounds like a typical situation where a startup screws over a key early employee. Typically there are legal avenues to pursue if the author truly was taken advantage of. Threatening to sell 0-day exploits smells of immaturity and anger though. I'm not sure how the tech stack works or how long it was developed but $3.…
