According to Foresight News, Lenta reports that Eduard Gurinovich, the founder of the TON ecosystem game Hamster Kombat, previously launched a project called Arenum. In early 2021, Arenum raised $10 million through an Initial DEX Offering (IDO) but did not share profits with investors, including AD.RU. The company explained that the funds were spent on developing new games and testing.
In the spring of 2024, the company introduced the Hamster Kombat project. However, by June 2024, Gurinovich stated that Hamster Kombat had no connection to Arenum and that Arenum investors were not related to Hamster Kombat. Despite these claims, investigations revealed that Hamster Kombat was created using Arenum's resources, with the game servers hosted on the same infrastructure as Arenum.
