Odaily Planet Daily News 📢 Former Ethereum consultant Steven Nerayoff once again refuted the fraud accusations made against him by Vitalik Buterin. Nerayoff claimed that Vitalik and his father, Dmitry Buterin, carried out an "elaborate" character attack against him in order to make him a scapegoat. In the video, Vitalik can be heard accusing Nerayoff of committing huge fraud by extorting money over a company's ICO.
In addition, Nerayoff also mentioned that Virgil Griffith, a senior researcher and developer at the Ethereum Foundation, has been abandoned by Vitalik after he was "convicted of helping North Korea evade sanctions." It is worth mentioning that in 2019, the FBI arrested Steven Nerayoff and Alchemist partner Michael Hlady and filed extortion charges; in 2021, Michael Hlady admitted to conspiring to extort millions of dollars in ether from a startup company Square, thus facing up to 20 years in prison and a fine.
