IOTA founders u/DavidSonstebo
(DS) and twitter.com/c___f___b (CfB) announce big news on their ternary computing (lol) token/company, Jinn [Labs], which is "what created IOTA". For 6 years, they have said they've been making progress, and a finished product is around the corner - everyone effectively expects some product announcement. Instead, DS posts this medium post and later 'Jinn is dead, [CfB] is crazy'. DS says he owns 100% of Jinn, assigns the (worthless) brand and name to CfB - but keeps $20M worth of IOTA tokens held by Jinn Labs. A fair deal, according to him. CfB responds by leaking private chats (tweets are now deleted). This leads to the first wave of drama in Discord (thread). Sonstebo apologizes (...), which leads to a ceasefire lasting a few hours.

Then people start wondering, "where did those $15+M actually come from"? Well, it turns out, during the IOTA crowdsale, some people never picked up the tokens they bought. So David decided he owns them now, and them in his 100% owned company, IOTA AS. And the community, having donated ~5% of the total IOTA supply ($ double/tripple digit million) to the foundation, is not happy. Not to mention the holders of the Jinn tokens, who aren't getting anything. The ceasefire ends too, leading to the second drama wave (thread)
In the end, both CfB and DS are pointing fingers at each others, threatening lawsuits, going to police etc, the IF is trying to get people to stop talking about it (lol).

Yikes

All I know about IOTA is they had a female tech lead in 2017 so I ignored the project ever since. Thanks for the insight.

haha IOTA is only there to scam german people
it's not going anywhere

the shill with the tangle was a nice try because most people can't verify the tech but man, if 3 years later you still need a centralized coordinator that should tell you everything

MUH INDUSTRY 4.0
Where is the guy that tried to argue that this shit isn't a scam? You were able to make a good buck with this in 2017 and that's that. If you didn't sell after the project leaders continued to act like massive spergs publicly, it's your own fault.
