1/ What a pain in the ass, I can’t believe I’ve been hired to do nft analytics 😮‍💨 So most of you may have already seen the misappropriation of funds for @RagnarokMeta.. But what if I told you there’s a project 10x better at stealing money than them? Introducing: @projectPXN

1/ So you might rmb @SkyVerseNFT, a project that drew decent traction raising 499.2 eth on a collection of 5k that sold at 0.1 eth each just 4 months back. The intention was to use these funds to build a new metaverse - their on-chain transactions, however, tells us otherwise:

8/ In the screenshot above, you will see that all deposits have been funded by two addresses: 1. '0xF5' Wallet (the one which received 545 eth) 2. 0xE895295378e642De0d26cEEbEF54c3f59918B49b (which was in turn funded by the '0xF5' Wallet) '0xE89' even traded $APE with the funds!

9/ Based on their on-chain activity, does it seem like they have any intentions of reserving treasury funds for developing a metaverse? In my professional opinion, looks unlikely! ..but maybe you'll get to play with their 3x3 sandbox land as a runner-up metaverse prize, enjoy.

Is @reicannon's wallet also entitled to receive an additional 697.7749 eth on top of a 100 eth compensation? FYI this adds up to 797.7749 which is part of "Payout Batch 2", a 3,091.1 eth payout that includes another 797.7749 and 1,595.5 (2 * 797.7749) eth to 2 other addresses.
Replying to @Pants_shh
- 100e each was the agreed compensation for each founder for Jan until mint, we are allowed to spend that - Post mint, 10k per month for each founder as max spending allowance, no salaries - founders salaries discussions are slated for when we reach profitability

Founders should share their comp structure pre-mint. Taking 300E upfront post mint or ~$1m USD across founders + ongoing 10k / mth is just ridiculous. The best comp structure I have seen is to take payment in your OWN project NFTs like how @shanicucic96 does it for @PGodjira.

wah 100eth is your compensation? what have you delivered so far to justify 100e payout for each founder?

Dropping etherscan tx link for reference: etherscan.io/tx/0xa6382264ba… Just to reiterate, this is one of the wallets that received 100 eth each which @Pants_shh has confirmed to be founder wallets for compensation. Suspected to be rei's wallet as it sent 5 eth to rei's public wal.

20/ ..a very humble and well deserved 5,000 eth (us7.5m) payout to the team! What a pain in the ass this has been to sift through but thank you so much for the on chain transparency and congratulations on a total ~$10M payout to the team! Round of applause please?
