I wonder what OpenSea thinks about its venture capital director Kevin Pawlak's involvement in highly suspicious business transactions (such as Anubis) and pump & dump operations under the anonymous identity 0xSisyphus (and 0xMagellan)?
He also attempted to use his account to influence decisions at OpenSea without disclosing that he was an employee of OpenSea, with the intent to benefit from those decisions. Does OpenSea know about this? Does it approve of this behavior and the series of obvious conflicts of interest?
When he approached Alameda Research and told them to acquire Anubis (ANKH), was it out of personal or professional considerations? Did OpenSea ever get involved in any of his “side projects”? How does OpenSea regulate potential conflicts of interest and insider trading among its employees?
The images in the first tweet are from public sources. We did not publish these images before, but the silence on this issue is deafening. Because he is so well connected, not many people dare to speak publicly about this fraudulent network.
More background:
Tweet 1:
Below we analyze the explosive chat records of the Anubis team between October 27 and 29, 2021 (Note: Anubis is a meme+OHM clone, and the liquidity was withdrawn on October 29, 2021, one day after its launch, and the user's asset loss reached 13,256 ETH), involving Beerus, Sisyphus and even Alameda. They provide some useful clues to tell us what might have happened.
Tweet 2:
In the famous Anubis rug incident in October 2021, an attacker successfully transferred $60 million of ETH to a wallet using Tornado cash. We offer another possibility for what happened: it was a premeditated rug pull initiated by Sisyphus & Co to launder money through PEPE.
Tweet 2:
A while ago, we did a quick investigation to see who 0xSisyphus was, and we concluded that it was none other than Kevin Pawlak, the head of OpenSea Ventures. The timestamp on pawlak.eth and the sisyphus.eth address matched exactly.
