    Some context, not attempting to take away from the story: The people and companies in this post are all in Australia.

    One other thing that interests me, the English Wikipedia page on Judo Bank (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judo_Bank) has an interesting note at the top: "This article may have been created or edited in return for undisclosed payments, a violation of Wikipedia's terms of use."

        In July 2022 I stood down as the CEO of Black Hops.
    
    Interesting way to characterize "was forced to resign" (see preceding post on that blog)...

    Also "$10M value" seems debatable, given that it only liquidated for a third of that.
