FluffyPony Arrest Bombshell Could Be Trouble for Monero Users

from Digital Cash Network Hosted by Joël Valenzuela

Monero's former lead maintainer, Riccardo Spagni a.k.a. FluffyPony, was arrested recently on fraud and theft charges stemming from a former workplace over 10 years ago. But this could mean a lot more, especially in light of the recently-discovered security and privacy vulnerabilities in MyMonero, the infamous web wallet and infrastructure for the Monero ecosystem. Could this expose previous thefts, or could it lead to more key Monero figures being arrested? Or both? Watch and make up your own mind. Donate - Sponsors Thank you so much for listening!
