Huawei's "genius youth" Li Bojie responds to Du Jun's accusations: Investment funds not fully received, resignation approved by the board of directors.
According to Odaily Odaily, Du Jun, co-founder of Web3 venture capital firm ABCDE, previously publicly accused Li Bojie of lacking a sense of contract and sued Li Bojie and his partner Zhuang Siyuan for refusing to fulfill their contractual obligations to synchronize financial and business progress after receiving investment from ABCDE during the founding of Metagent in 2024, and subsequently disappearing without a trace. In response, Li Bojie stated, "The investment agreement stipulated that ABCDE Capital would invest $1.5 million, but only $500,000 was actually received, with the remaining $1 million still outstanding. The company's cap table still records the institution's equity based on a $1.5 million share. Due to the delayed investment, he and his co-founders voluntarily reduced their salaries, and the company faced difficulties in recruitment and R&D. In October 2024, due to personal family reasons preventing him from leaving mainland China, and because Web3 projects were non-compliant, he resigned from Metagent, with board approval. He stated that until his departure, as CTO and co-founder, he had consistently fulfilled his responsibilities by disclosing the cap table and business status on time, and in accordance with the non-compete clause in the agreement, his subsequent entrepreneurial projects intentionally avoided areas such as Web3, AI infrastructure, and image generation."

Kraken's parent company wins $22 million arbitration case against auditing firm Mazars.
Odaily that Kraken's parent company, Payward, has won an arbitration against its former auditing firm, Mazars USA, with the arbitrator ruling that Mazars must pay Payward $22 million. Payward is currently seeking confirmation of the arbitration award and a final judgment from the Delaware Court of Chancery. The controversy stemmed from the peak of "Operation Choke Point 2.0" in 2022. Payward claims that Mazars abruptly withdrew from an audit of Kraken that was nearly complete, without finding any problems with the company, but this move damaged Kraken's reputation and forced it to spend years and significant legal fees clarifying its situation. Payward co-CEO Arjun Sethi stated that auditing is not a "gift" for crypto companies, but rather a critical infrastructure for maintaining trust with banks, licenses, counterparties, and regulators. An auditing firm withdrawing without finding anything negative leaves the company unjustly shrouded in suspicion. "Operation Choke Point 2.0" is the crypto industry's term for the regulatory pressure exerted during the Biden administration, referring to the informal pressure exerted by US regulators on banks to restrict services to crypto businesses after the FTX collapse. Sethi stated that the US FDIC sent at least 25 letters to 24 banks, demanding that they suspend or avoid expanding their crypto-related businesses. This ruling is also seen as a legal counterattack by the crypto industry against such regulatory pressure.
