It's been months of baseless attacks against our team, partners, and myself malicious demands for 20% of our tokens unlocked, smear ops, misleading the court but the Gibraltar Supreme Court's full reversal of the freeze on 542M $PLAY tokens shows these industry bad actors' scheme has backfired. The freeze is court-branded "oppressive". I'm sole legal and beneficial owner of Ready Gibraltar. Team has been heads down building. PLAY is stronger than ever. @0xplay_network Thanks @deantak at @VentureBeat venturebeat.com/gaming-busin…

What happened to Hsin-Ju? The headlines are deeply concerning. Former Hack VC partner found dead, weeks after claiming she had been pressured to work while grappling with Graves’ disease and insomnia, leading to a suicide attempt. Ju also claimed the firm later mishandled her health insurance. It's reported that she publicly rejected a settlement from HackVC. She was found dead in California's Mojave Desert.
Next time an airdrop feels unfair or a project makes you feel scammed, remember that there are much darker sides to this industry 🙁 A few important details about what happened: - Hsin-Ju Chuang, former Hack VC partner, was found dead on August 24 near I-15 in California’s Mojave Desert. She was 37. - Her cause of death has not been determined yet and remains under investigation - Shortly before her death, she publicly accused Hack VC of serious workplace pressure and said she had rejected a settlement that would have kept the dispute private - She said she planned to release evidence related to the dispute on August 26. - Hack VC has disputed her account, and no connection between her allegations and her death has been established The circumstances and timeline deserve a proper, transparent investigation. @CryptoTimes_io RIP Hsin-Ju 🕊️ Read her last post below

1/ gm. gm. Name is Hsin-Ju. I have a dark, kinda tragic personal announcement. I've decided I'd rather take $0 than accept a settlement that requires me to stay silent about what happened to me. I have since fired my lawyers at @sanfordheisler & will be releasing all the evidence from my time @hack_vc on Wed 8/26. INTRO: I've been in crypto for 9 years. Most recently I was a partner & head of platform @hack_vc which is a $600-700M crypto VC firm. Many of you may know me from my time as Head of Growth at @StellarOrg in 2017 (worked w/ the Mt. Gox founder), @Solana in 2018 (joined under ~10 ppl, but quit before my cliff), & @Fhenix in 2024. Or have attended one of my @DystopiaLabs ETH events (2019-now). Last year, I was forced to work through a serious medical emergency while at @Hack_VC due to threats by @alpackaP @dbulaevsky, saying that they would blacklist me from the space if I quit before finishing the hacksummit conference & side events that I was helping with during @kbwofficial. I was working 13-14hr days, 6 days a week, sleeping 0-4 hrs a night, and had documented Graves' disease, hyperthyroidism, and severe insomnia. I repeatedly asked to quit. Hack VC refused. This + other threats and intimidation went on for almost a month. The conditions got so bad I attempted suicide. The fucked up part is that, even after the suicide attempt, I told everyone at Hack VC (in writing) that I had no plans to sue. I was scared & extremely sick. I just wanted to leave. I told them that as long as there was no retaliation or badmouthing - I had no plans to sue. @Hack_VC chose to retaliate. After just 1 month after my near suicide, Hack VC mishandled my COBRA health insurance, refused to fix things, kept shooing me to customer support (when it's legally Hack VC's responsibility to fix this), and my insurance had issues and was not fixed for almost 4 MONTHS. Hack VC did not fix everything until I hired lawyers and had them force Hack VC to adhere to the law & fix my COBRA insurance issues. The sheer cruelty of an employer harming someone's health insurance almost immediately after they nearly committed suicide is extremely fucked up. And, even during the legal engagement, Hack VC continued to lie & attempt to harm me through their lawyers and other employees/partners (multi-million dollar carry & clawbacks can make even the nicest ppl willing to turn the other way or lie). @0xRodney @IsTheBaron @roshunpatel @Alex__Botte. Now. Almost an entire year of engagement & my near suicide anniversary coming up, our lawyers (mine & Hack VC's) have reached the point of preparing for private mediation and settlement. And...I realized that I just can't do it. I don't want money in exchange for silence. I'd rather speak. I fired my lawyers yesterday. In case it needs to be said, I did a good job at Hack VC. I was only there full time for 7 months; been part-time since 2021. I got a $50k raise to $300k, $30k bonus, and promises of additional carry that would have been implemented about a week or so after my last day. I was also offered admission into the GP entity (but not sure if admission was actually completed bc it was during my medical emergency). This + my resume, should show that me suing is not a money grab; I was genuinely harmed. I'm aware that I'm just one person (who is not rich) facing a $600-700M VC institution. I've been told by @alpackaP that he's known most of the managing partners at most VC firms for almost a decade and he could absolutely blacklist me. I'm also painful aware that the conclusion of this will probably be extremely poor for me or death - but I've accepted it. Sharing with other web2 & web3 VCs: @paulg @ycombinator @500STARTUPS @a16zcrypto @PanteraCapital @dragonflyvc @RaceCapital @hosseeb @haunventures @hiFramework @ElectricCapital @blockchaincap @Delphi_Digital @variantfund @1kxnetwork @archetypevc @shimacapital @robotventures, etc. TLDR; I’m done with continued threats, pressure, and intimidation. I'm not going to take a payout and allow Alex or Hack VC to walk away from harming me. As mentioned, I'll be dropping the evidence from my case on Wed 8/26 (or before) -- privacy be damned.

litigation finance has quietly delivered 25-40% IRR. zero market correlation. zero exposure to equities, rates, or macro. outcomes driven entirely by legal merit. the catch? $1M+ minimums. institutional only. everyone else locked out. Actio changes that. legal claims → tokenized on-chain → AI underwritten → open to retail, family offices, small funds secondary market liquidity. exit before final judgment. legal assets have always generated real returns. now they're accessible to everyone. legal claims. on-chain. liquid. accessible. 🔗 actioclaim.com

I didn't come to litigation finance from a boardroom. I came from the other side of it — as a target. that changes how you build. 97% of valid legal claims go unfunded. not because they lose. because no one built the infrastructure to reach them. that's not a legal problem. that's a capital problem. and capital problems have solutions. litigation finance has always existed. it just never existed for you. $1M+ minimums. institutional only. the rest of the world locked out. ACTIO is changing that. legal claims are real assets. court-enforced. uncorrelated to markets. generating real yield. they just needed a liquidity layer. ACTIO is that layer. for the claimant who couldn't afford to fight — for the investor who never had access to this asset class — for the RWA space, adding a new category that really matters — this is why we built it. programmable justice. uncorrelated yield.
trillions in real-world value locked inside legal claims. we're turning that into a tokenized asset class. 97% of valid claims go unfunded not because they lose because capital can't reach them litigation finance has always been: → opaque → slow → $1M+ minimum tickets → institutional only we broke all of that ACTIO tokenizes legal claims into CETs (Claim Exposure Tokens) AI underwrites every case in real-time claims listed on our marketplace funded by retail, family offices, small funds settled on-chain, automated waterfall beta: 0.00 zero correlation to equities or crypto court-enforced yield hits different for claimants: submit your claim, get AI-scored, matched to verified counsel, funded — no upfront cost for investors: live feed of tokenized claims, AI risk scores, tranche structures, secondary market liquidity, DeFi-native settlement this is what RWAs were always supposed to be programmable justice. uncorrelated yield.

Fraud claims? Dismissed. Misleading attacks? Exposed. Integrity? Vindicated. gam3s.gg/news/gibraltar-cour… Bitkraft and David Bennahum tried to, among other things: - Rebrand our TGE as the Coinlist pre-sale. Coinlist pre-sales are not TGEs. - Tried to rewrite SAFTs after the fact by pretending to be “consumers.” Court just handed a win to Myself and PLAY Network. Let’s be clear: this isn’t just my story or PLAY’s story, it’s a warning for the Web3 ecosystem. After these grueling months, I’m relieved. But this isn’t the end. Time to go after damages and make PLAY, our investors, and partners everywhere whole. Transparency matters. And if you think courts can be twisted to punish innovation, think again.

Thankful and honoured to be recognized as one of the 2025 Most Inspirational Women of Web3 & AI @UnstoppableWoW3 — alongside incredible women like @miramurati (Thinking Machines Lab), @CathieDWood (ARK), @emiliemc (Coinbase), @SenLummis We’re all just getting started. Thank you to everyone who nominated me, supported me, and believed in my vision and relentless drive to build, innovate, and shape the world in the ways I can. I’m forever grateful. This year has been both tough and transformative. I keep fighting for @0xplay_network , for my integrity, and for the truth. And once the final pieces fall into place, I’ll have a lot to share with the community — very soon. I fight to show our space for what it truly is: A community of exceptional builders creating things that matter, projects people care about, and systems that finally give communities a real stake. Your time matters — and it deserves to be valued. What we’re building isn’t small. We’re evolving how people interact with the digital world, how we measure contribution, and how we engage with our digital selves. It’s powerful — and it’s only beginning. As a mother, my greatest hope is that my boys grow up knowing this: -If you believe in something with your whole heart, you don’t give up. No one else defines your success, your truth, or your integrity. Stand tall. Every time. This year, I pushed even further to empower women and children in our space: • Incubating a woman-led project (TRIBE/TBD) redefining on-chain B2C with AI • Expanding programs supporting children — especially girls from underserved backgrounds — to learn, build, and thrive onchain I’ll keep advising projects, mentoring founders and builders, leading through the @BGameAlliance , and above all — I’ll keep building. I’ll keep fighting — and the truth will speak for itself. There’s so much to come. So much to build. So much to disrupt. I’m really only getting started. Thank you all for your support. 💛
