#2>Things I have done for Aeternity
If this really was implemented entirely by one person, they have no moat.
>Instead the anonymous owner of Aeternity is deciding how the money is spent.
Yeah, that's how capitalism works. The person with the capital owns you. And now, I look into my crystal ball... I see the anonymous owner is going to sue you for running off with his intellectual property and starting a competitor with it.
Never heard of Aeternity, but this isn't going to end well for the author.

#4Why the author doesn't call out widely for assistance even if physically threatened/assaulted, but choosing to avoid all confrontations instead?

It seems as if the author might possibly own the IP here, having not been paid, nor contracted away copyright and other interests AFAICT.

Should of never written that one sentence, that is at the very least a plain as day admission and now he will hold any blame for any exploits used against Aeternity, whether involved or not.

#7Did I read this correctly, he was physically assaulted? Can he not press for criminal charges?
What's also interesting is I was approached by Aeternity at the end of June to join their team. Wonder if the timing coincided wtih the author's troubles

That was my thought. If anything, I would advise him not to sell 0-days out of spite and take the CEO to court.

The irony. He rants about the unethical behavior of his associates and then clearly states that he will himself engage in unethical behavior. The only thing this rant proves is that the ICO space is over run by ethically challenged scammers much like the Bitcoin ASIC space was 3 years ago.

#10> that he did something to me that both scared and injured me. I no longer feel safe working with this person. I am walking with a limp a week later.
OP is happy to spill some pretty high-level corporate beans, but not detail a physical assault... I don't really know what to take from this article in all honesty. I feel there's a lot being left unmentioned.
