The SEC has charged BitClout’s founder with fraud, claiming that proceeds paid for a Beverley Hills mansion and over $7million on personal expenses - ironically the same amount raised in BitClout’s seed funding round…   The startup raised money from a16z, Sequoia, Chamath Palihapitiya’s Social Capital, Coinbase Ventures and Winklevoss Capital… using goodwill from his previous company, before defrauding investors for personal gain 🚨⚠️ Fraud at this scale should have been flagged instantly given the financial due diligence monitoring technology available today, potentially saving investors money if not pride.   Portend can identify, signal and prevent fraudulent activity in any portfolio business in real-time, from small start ups receiving seed funding to series C scale ups – why rely on trust when you can rely on data?   It’s only a matter of time before the  “who’s who” of the VC world realise that spotting fraudulent activity like this before it’s too late is a no brainer 🚀🚀   Margaux MacColl TechCrunch #fraud #vcfunding #realtimeduediligence #investors #protection https://lnkd.in/guMiK-Uk

🚨 A Dog on the Red Carpet: A Leadership Crisis at Bitpanda? 🚨 Is Bitpanda losing its grip? A recent FinTelegram article highlights a bizarre scene: Bitpanda CEO Eric Demuth’s dog, Picci, making a red carpet appearance at the Viennale. While this may seem like a harmless PR stunt, it raises serious questions about leadership priorities at one of Europe’s largest crypto platforms. At a time when the crypto industry faces heightened scrutiny and market volatility, should Bitpanda’s leadership be more focused on addressing strategic challenges? Instead, this stunt risks undermining the company's credibility and could signal a worrying detachment from the core responsibilities of steering a billion-dollar fintech. 👉 Is this a harmless attempt to appear relatable, or a troubling sign of leadership losing focus?
