[VeBetterDAO Proposal] Removal of B3tr transit from VBD

[Morb]

Proposal summary

The lead developer of B3tr transit Master Dev has made 507 (251 on-chain connected) wallets to artificially boost user numbers and manipulate votes. To justify sudden increase in user numbers, Master Dev publicly claimed he has conducted campaigns in universities, teaching students about VBD and B3tr transit, while failing to provide any tangible proof of such events.
Furthermore, low user rewards (~18%), lack of any major updates since December 2025, questionable manual withdrawals from allocation wallet coupled with ill intentions of creation of fake user wallets questions the legitimacy of usage of grant and weekly app allocation funds.

This proposal provides analysis of on-chain and publicly available data and aims at removal of B3tr transit from VBD app list, the return of any unpaid grant funding to VBD Treasury and removal of B3tr transit from Relief funding for grant projects recipient list.

Detailed overview of evidence

251 on-chain connected wallets

9th of February, a dedicated wallet was created to organize transfers of vtho and b3tr to 251 fake user wallets.
This mediatory wallet is regularly funded by the team wallet of B3tr transit.

34 out of 251 fake user wallets are directly connected to B3tr transit reward distributor, receiving 1 to 3 vtho transfers on 7th and 8th of February.
Apart from on-chain connections, these fake user wallets share the same behavior - proof only on B3tr transit, voting only for B3tr transit, performing actions (b3tr to vot3 conversion, voting) in sequence.

Batch transfer of b3tr from mediatory wallet to 161 fake user wallets.
Batch transfer of vtho from mediatory wallet to 251 fake user wallets.
Example fake user wallet frequently receiving vtho from B3tr transit reward distributor and mediatory wallet.

On-chain activity contradicts Master Dev`s statements

7th of February, 1st interaction between B3tr transit reward distributor with fake user wallets
Example transaction of vtho transfer

16th of February Master dev claims there will be promotional events

27th of February, Master Dev informed the promotional campaign is postponed due to unforeseen personal reasons.
Voice message from Master Dev on B3tr transit Discord server

28th of February, 1st reward claims from fake users on B3tr transit

21st of March, Master Dev claims he is going from class to class teaching students about the apps on the dao, how to vote and even provided some of them with vtho.
Voice message from Master Dev on B3tr transit Discord server

Conclusion: Based on publicly available data and on-chain activity, fake user wallets were funded with vtho before the said promotional campaign had even occurred (first transactions on 7th of February, while on 27th of February campaign was “postponed”). Despite the postponed campaign on 27th of February, 11 (on-chain connected to B3tr transit) new user wallets claimed rewards the very next day.
On top of that, none of the new user wallets have any other app activity other than on B3tr transit. Considering Master Dev claims he taught students about apps of the DAO, such behavior of using only one app is highly unlikely if these wallets were owned by real users.

256 new wallets created on round 91

24th of March, B3tr transit received claims from 256 new users.
These users` first activity is on the same day, proof only on B3tr transit, no other activity and on-chain connections.

Conclusion: Such new user activity is uncharacteristic for B3tr transit. Considering B3tr transit rewards are distributed manually, this reduces the probability of farming attempts from an unknown 3rd party. Keeping in mind Master Dev has already shown ill intentions to boost user numbers (likely to reach 5000 users to receive next grant milestone payment), it is likely these wallets are created by him.

24th of March, B3tr transit team wallet transferred 1000 vtho to mediatory wallet. Likely, to provide new user wallets with vtho for covering voting fees.

Vote manipulation

8th of March, 161 fake user wallets received b3tr from mediatory wallet in a batch transfer.
Right after receiving the b3tr said wallets converted b3tr to vot3 in a 23 minute timeframe in preparation for vote manipulation.

Out of 251 fake users wallets, first vote manipulation occurred on round 90, when 9 wallets voted for B3tr transit.
On round 91 189 wallets voted for B3tr transit in multiple batches with 10 seconds apart.

Conclusion: 189 regular accounts voting for the same app with 10 seconds apart is an unrealistic coincidence.

Additional facts

Lack of updates

Since the last grant milestone payment on 10th of December 2025 of 147 646 b3tr, B3tr transit has not made any significant updates. The last major update was on 3rd of December, when a leaderboard was introduced.

After constant pressure from community for transparency and updates, on 25th of March B3tr transit made a X post with 3 pictures showing students in a classroom allegedly from a promotional campaign event.
Pictures lack any evidence such gathering is related to a promotional campaign.

Poor user growth

When excluding recent rounds, when fake user wallets were created, B3tr transit usually saw sub 100 weekly active users, lacking organic new user growth, indicating failure at utilizing grant funds and weekly dapp allocation to attract new users.

Low reward distribution and questionable manual withdrawals

B3tr transit has distributed 18% of allocation as user rewards (source: Vedelegate)
As there is no tangible proof of marketing campaigns, upgrades and manual user rewards/airdrops in recent months withdrawals tagged as “marketing”, “development”, “upgrade”, “community airdrop”, “reward distribution” and “campaign payment” raise questions of the actual usage.

Goal of the proposal

Remove bad actors from the VeBetterDAO ecosystem.

Signal a zero tolerance policy towards vote manipulation and artificial creation of users.

Inform and activate the VeBetterDAO community.

Prevent misusage of app weekly allocation and grant funding.

Risk analysis

Risk: Master Dev will deny or downplay allegations
Mitigation: Evidence is publicly available on-chain and well documented (on-chain connected fake user wallets, B3tr transit transferring funds to these wallets, public claims by Master Dev contradict on-chain data, fake user wallets performing actions in close timeframes)

Success metrics

Removal of B3tr transit from VBD app list.

Transfer of unused B3tr transit grant milestone funds to VBD Treasury.

Conclusion

Protecting the VeBetterDAO requires decisive action against bad actors who exploit community resources. B3tr transit`s malicious intentions to artificially boost user growth and manipulate weekly app allocations represent a fundamental breach of trust. By removing B3tr transit, we signal that transparency and fair play are non-negotiable. This proposal is a necessary step to safeguard our rewards system and ensure that funding only supports projects that bring genuine value to our community.

Public discussion on the proposal on VBD Community Hub Discord server

Added a link to public discussion on the proposal. As the discussion involves Master Dev sharing his side of the story, asked AI to summarize it.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Based on an analysis of the Discord conversation dated March 26–27, 2026, several significant inconsistencies have emerged regarding Master Dev’s claims and the actual on-chain evidence for B3tr Transit.

1. Community Skepticism and Critical Inquiries

The investigation was spearheaded by morbidejsOP, who provided forensic on-chain evidence linking 251 wallets to a single mediatory source, noting that these wallets performed actions in synchronized batches. morbidejsOP highlighted that while Master Dev claimed to be teaching students about the DAO, none of these wallets ever interacted with other ecosystem dApps, and their “activity” began on February 28—just one day after the developer publicly stated that campaigns were postponed. This skepticism was shared by PaullyTV and ViiNrOcK, who flagged the “sketchy” nature of pre-meditated wallet creation and the lack of verifiable visual proof. BreakingBallz questioned the logistics of teaching students by importing pre-made seed phrases—a process that is both a security risk and physically time-consuming—while Orbit challenged the dApp’s website claims of $250,000 in rewards, forcing the developer to admit the numbers were merely “projections.” Furthermore, Rover exposed a massive reporting discrepancy, noting that B3tr Transit actually had ~314 active users, contradicting the developer’s claims of 10k+ daily trips.

2. The “Manual Onboarding” vs. Automated Execution

Master Dev claims he and his team of seven manually onboard students in Ghana, often “holding their hands” through the process. However:

• The 10-Second Window: On March 24, 96 votes were cast in 16 minutes. This averages one vote every 10 seconds.

• Logistical Impossibility: It is physically impossible to teach a non-crypto-literate student to import a seed phrase, navigate to a DAO, and cast a vote in 10 seconds. This pattern is a hallmark of automated scripting, not human education.

• Pre-funded Eligibility: For a wallet to vote, it must have three actions in the prior 12 weeks. Master Dev admitted to performing these actions before students received the wallets. This confirms the “users” were not organic participants but pre-packaged accounts controlled by the developer.

3. Contradictory Timelines

The developer’s narrative regarding his availability and the “campaigns” shifted throughout the discussion:

• The “Silent” Period: Master Dev claimed a family emergency caused him to be silent for two months (Feb–March). Data shows he was actually more active on Discord/Telegram during this period than in the months prior.

• Postponement vs. Activity: On February 27, he stated campaigns were postponed. However, on-chain data shows the “fake” wallets began performing B3tr Transit actions on February 28—the very next day.

• The Missing Proof: Despite repeated promises of video evidence stored on a “laptop at home,” no footage of the 200+ students has been produced.

4. Admission of Centralized Control

In a pivotal admission (March 27, 6:38 PM), Master Dev confirmed:

“Yes — I created and funded the wallets, and some on-chain actions were performed before students got them.”

By creating the wallets and holding the seed phrases, the developer maintained total custody of the accounts during the voting rounds. His claim that “cycling groups” or “government projects” tested the wallets does not explain why these same wallets were then used to vote for B3tr Transit in a tight, 10-second sequence.

5. Misleading Metrics

When questioned by community members (Orbit and Rover) about the website claiming $250,000 in rewards distributed and 10k trips/day, Master Dev admitted:

• The numbers were “projections” based on lost data.

• A “code error” prevented the DAO from actually capturing these trips.

• Conclusion: The public-facing growth metrics for B3tr Transit were intentionally or negligently inflated, providing a false sense of project scale to the DAO.

Final Assessment

The defense provided by Master Dev relies on the “hand-holding” of students, yet the on-chain data shows a highly coordinated, rapid-fire execution that bypasses human interaction. The lack of interaction with other dApps, the centralized creation/funding of 200+ wallets, and the shifting timeline suggest a deliberate attempt to manipulate user numbers and milestone goals.

[B3TR-TRANSIT]

1. Core Issue (Stripped of Emotion)

This entire discourse collapses into one central governance concern:

I created and funded wallets, some on-chain actions occurred before end users took custody, and those wallets later voted in DAO rounds.

Everything else (speed, silence, projections, tone) is secondary framing.

I did admit this clearly at 27/03 16:38:

“Yes — I created and funded the wallets, and some on-chain actions were performed before students got them from partnering companies.”

That admission is factual and cannot be walked back.
However, where this discourse goes wrong is in how it interprets intent, scope, and mechanics.

---

2. What Was Twisted or Overstated

A. “10-second voting proves automation”

What I said

• I ran votes in sequence during onboarding to avoid wasting students’ time.

• I demonstrated on my phone while they followed later after taking their Whatsapp numbers

What was assumed

• That each vote equals a unique human importing a wallet and learning DAO mechanics in 10 seconds hence it not being possible

Reality

• Voting speed ≠ onboarding speed.

• A developer operating already-eligible wallets can cast votes quickly

• Fast execution alone does not prove bots or manipulative

• Taking them through the dapp and then voting in sequence are two separate things

This point is circumstantial, not definitive.

---

B. “Wallets never used other dApps → fake users”

What I said

• These were first-time, non-crypto users.

• Onboarding focused on one app, not exploration.

What was assumed

• That “organic users” must explore multiple dApps.

Reality

• New users often don’t explore.

• Especially in guided pilots, education programs, or incentive-specific onboarding.

This is an assumption, not evidence of fraud.

---

C. “Silence for two months was a lie”

What I meant

• Reduced availability / outreach / coordination, not literal inactivity.

What was done

• Discord and Telegram messages were counted and framed as contradiction.

Reality

• Being “less available” ≠ zero messages.

• This is a semantic dispute, not misconduct.

My phrasing here was imprecise and allowed this attack.

---

D. Website metrics = intentional deception

What I said

• The numbers were projections.

• Data was lost due to a code error.

• I acknowledged this publicly and agreed to change it.

What was claimed

• “Intentionally or negligently inflated metrics.”

Reality

• I did not double down or hide.

• I corrected it when challenged.

• That undermines any claim of intent to deceive.

This was a real mistake, but it is not proof of manipulation.

[B3TR-TRANSIT]

Moving forward, we will implement a clear and structured onboarding process that ensures transparency, accountability, and traceability at every stage. This process will be open for community visibility, allowing members to follow, understand, and verify onboarding steps as they happen. To prevent this from ever happening again

[Morb]

Hey,

After looking over your replies on Discord and here, there are still unanswered questions and major gaps in the story.

1. All of the 507 wallets mentioned in this proposal became inactive after this information got released. If these wallets are owned by real people, the mathematical odds of such behavioral anomaly are 0.

• Did not explore other apps;
• Did not transfer any funds;
• Did not claim free veworld.vet subdomain name;
• Did not vote.

2. The decision and the act of voting for B3tr transit was made by you, instead of organic users.

• You had access to wallets;
• You made sure they were eligible to vote;
• You voted before onboarded students had the chance to make a conscious decision.

3. You claim it’s much faster to onboard people with premade wallets by transferring seed phrases to each onboarded person individually, when in reality it’s not only way slower, but has compromised the security of each wallet and introduced risks of further manipulation.

To create a fresh wallet a user needs to:

• Download Veworld wallet;
• Tap “Create wallet”;
• Tap “backup later”;
• A wallet is created.

Your approach:

• Create wallets (have full custody);
• Fund the wallets;
• Perform on-chain actions (convert b3tr to vot3);
• Give access to wallets to third parties to perform b3tr actions on B3tr transit;
• Store seed phrases;
• On top of explaining students how to use B3tr transit, different daps of the dao, vote, you have to transfer each seed phrase.

As you are a developer of an app, have created multiple wallets yourself, you are well aware your approach of onboarding is much slower, harder to execute and introduces risks of security.

4. You claim students in Ghana lack the technical or crypto literacy to handle the process of creating wallets themselves.

They are people who have no idea about the world of vebetterdao like the rest of us. Its like giving a 2 year old a Ferrari… not sure how they’d use it.

The only university you have mentioned is University of Professional Studies in Accra.
Some facts why such claim is highly unlikely if not impossible.

• UPSA is a business and IT-focused university, so students are more than capable of downloading a simple app like VeWorld.
• Smartphones are mandatory for UPSA’s digital coursework, meaning every student already has the hardware needed to manage their own wallet.
• UPSA requires all students to demonstrate Information Technology Proficiency (ITPR) to even use the university’s mandatory e-learning and assessment platforms.
• The university offers degrees in Data Science, Information Technology, and Actuarial Science, making the claim that students can’t handle a basic crypto wallet highly contradictory to their education.
• As a premier business school, UPSA students are trained in global financial systems and professional certifications, pre-adapting them to understand digital assets and “Ride-to-Earn” models.
• Ghana has one of the world’s highest mobile money penetration rates (over 39% of adults), meaning students are already experts at managing digital wallets.
• Smartphone ownership is near-universal among Accra’s undergraduate population, with students spending hours daily on social media and research via mobile devices.
• UPSA’s “dual qualification” model pushes students to be “corporate-ready,” making them exactly the kind of early adopters who would independently explore a DAO, not wait for a manual walkthrough.

5. While some of the questions were answered, none of them really prove the 507 wallets are owned by organic users.

Patience please. I’m not home yet. Videos are on my laptop

To clear any doubts, it would be great to have access to some of the original videos you mentioned uploaded on Google drive or Dropbox.

[B3TR-TRANSIT]

I want to acknowledge that some onboarding was done using an older method.

At the time, I wasn’t aware that the approved onboarding tutorial even existed or that onboarding needed to follow it. The Google link attached shows the older approach that was used, as well as the now-approved onboarding method, which we have fully adopted.

If I had known then what I know now, the onboarding would have been done correctly from the start. Going forward, all onboarding will strictly follow the approved process.

I hope this clarification helps and that this oversight doesn’t affect the trust and support of the community. We’ve taken the feedback seriously and adjusted accordingly.

Onboarding - Google Drive

[Morb]

I’ve been in contact with Master Dev regarding the uploaded files. Here are some comments I shared with him + additional regarding WhatsApp conversations with students.

1. The shared videos were made recently (8th and 9th of April) , therefore do not serve as a proof of onboarding 507 students, that had their last on-chain activity on 24th of March (apart from 3 wallets with auto-vote enabled);

2. Master Dev publicly shared he has video proof on his laptop. It would be much appreciated if this proof was shared to clear any left concerns.
   

@B3TR-TRANSIT

I demonstrated on my phone while they followed later after taking their Whatsapp numbers

Please, share screenshots of some of the conversations with the students, where you forwarded them the seed phrases, showing the date when these conversations took place.

Make sure you blur out seed phrases and private info, the message and detailed info (containing the date) are in the same screenshot.

There is no rush, so do it when you have the moment.

[B3TR-TRANSIT]

Thanks for outlining the points clearly.

I’ve shared the requested information in the attached Google link. It includes the materials related to the uploaded files and the WhatsApp conversations referenced, with sensitive details blurred as requested.

This should address the questions around the onboarding process and the timing of the interactions. Appreciate your time

Older Wrong methods - Google Drive

[Morb]

1. The quality of newly uploaded screenshots is significantly worse compared to those before. Some elements are distorted due to editing software/compression. Would be appreciated if this screenshot would be taken again with cropping out only the upper part of the screen containing the number without making any edits.

2. The uploaded videos are not originals. Please, ask your team member to upload original videos directly from his phone to Google drive;

3. This screenshot appears to be showing a redacted seed phrase. As you have mentioned all seed phrases are deleted after giving the full custody of the wallets to the new owners, why there still exists a file containing this sensitive information?
   In addition, would be helpful if you re-uploaded this screenshot as well, without obscuring the date of the conversation.

4. Please, upload more screenshots from WA containing the date of the conversation. So far there is only one such screenshot. If you have more videos older than 24th of March, please, upload them directly from the phone. This would greatly help verify the data.

[B3TR-TRANSIT]

Hello,

This will be my final response on this discourse thread hopefully, too much back and forth

My name is Emmanuel Danquah, widely known in this ecosystem as MasterDev, the founder and public face of the B3TR Transit application.

There is, however, an important fact the community is largely unaware of. MasterDev has never been just one person. From the very beginning, it has been two individuals—myself and my former partner Darlington, whom I will refer to as “Shadow MasterDev.” Only a few people were aware of this, including Morb (recently), though he believes I fabricated this detail.

Darlington and I graduated in the same class. Around that time, I was known in Web3 circles as Hazed, creating NFTs. Together, we co-founded Chen Technologies, and I am prepared to share documentation proving this partnership.

Background and Breakdown of Trust

Over time, Darlington began exhibiting troubling behavior. He once mishandled client funds after I blocked my card due to a scam attempt. I had entrusted him with money to purchase an Amelia lifetime plan, but instead he paid for only a monthly subscription. Although he later covered the difference himself, this incident was the first clear warning sign—one I regret not taking more seriously.

Despite this, we continued working together and later began building Transit.
I served as the public-facing lead—handling meetings, partnerships, emails, funding conversations, and community engagement—while we both collaborated on development.

The Critical Period

Due to serious personal and medical issues, I became temporarily unavailable. Darlington visited me in the hospital, and I entrusted him with completing onboarding activities for Transit alongside the team. At the time, I had no reason to believe this would cause any issues.

Later, I received a notification on Discord regarding a proposal to remove my dApp. This came as a complete shock. I had not been active and was unaware of any wrongdoing. When I asked what the issue was, data was presented suggesting suspicious activity related to the dApp.

I immediately asked why a proposal was raised without first asking me for clarification, especially since I had been absent for valid reasons.

Investigation and Discovery

I confronted Darlington directly. He denied any wrongdoing, but I knew something was off. I checked our backend systems and found no malicious code written by me—yet the data suggested otherwise.

If I am guilty of anything, it is this: trying to save a product I built and deeply care about. I could not allow years of work to collapse over actions I did not commit.

For context, I have consistently spoken against dishonest practices in this ecosystem—such as artificially inflating wallets to gain higher allocations. That stance is well known.

The onboarding videos shared were not fake.
However, the wallets I was aware of that were created would not have exceeded 50—not even close to the claims being made. Aldin Cycles itself does not have 500 bikes on campus. No onboarder ever reported seeing Darlington actively onboarding students, which further confirmed that something improper had occurred without my knowledge.

Addressing Harmful Assumptions

One of the most disturbing moments in this process was being asked whether my family situation pressured me into cheating the system.

Let me be clear:
If I were attempting fraud, do you truly believe I would stop at 500 wallets?
That number would not meaningfully impact allocation, nor would it cover even a fraction of my real-world expenses. If financial desperation were my motive, the scale would look very different. That accusation was not only unfounded—it was deeply unfair.

My Commitment to Transit

Transit is my full-time mission. It is my creation—my responsibility. Just like when onboarders go out they are going in my name so that can be classified as me going as well as any action they take affects Transit. I even stated publicly that if any further doubt arose after this issue was resolved, I would willingly relinquish or transfer ownership of the dApp.

That is how confident I was that the root cause had been eliminated. And that it would not happen again cause I have no will of manipulating anything

I take responsibility for trusting the wrong person, and for that, I sincerely apologize to the community. But I do not regret doing all that I can to help save my project especially when I didn’t do anything as I was away from keyboard

I have since:

Revoked all access Darlington had to Transit

Removed him from Chen Technologies systems

Begun formal steps to fully separate him from the company

Supporting Evidence

To ensure full transparency and fact checking which Morb is proud of, I am attaching:

Videos of me actively engaging people about Transit, including discussions with ghana’s government officials regarding an eco-park initiative later this year, just giving an example as to what I said earlier

A recorded call with my aunt confirming Darlington’s existence and prior behavior. Which was also sent to Morb but claims that isnt evidence, imagine me telling a woman way older than me and with kids to lie impromptu and she does it?? Crazy…
All he mentions is delisting the dapp even with the thing staring at him in the face, so at this point its gone from doing the right thing to proving a point. Even a milestone that the team worked hard for, losing sleep and sending hundreds of emails and forms a week , before all this is on halt because of this proposal, and mind you Morb was also opposed to the relief funding so its more about transit not getting the funding than doing the right thing cause I dont think if you compare the cases that other dapps have, voting with a 100 wallets and people creating 1000 wallets each week is even in the same plane besides them being both wrong.

A screen recording of my conversation with Darlington confronting him about the act of which he didnt even sound concerned

Screen recordings of our shared development history while building Transit. Screen recordings cant be falsified so not sure what proof is needed again.

A screen recording of my conversations with someone to remove Darlington from the company

At this point, I have shared everything openly. Whatever decision is made will be made with the full truth available. I refuse to let years of honest work be erased because of the actions of one individual acting in bad faith.

Now this afternoon i also got a call from Aldin cycles saying someone named Rick(is this morb?) has mailed them, and is claiming that transit is making money weekly and earning milestone money as well using their name so since there is no written partnership between us with the bikes yet , just verbal they are going to deny that and stick to waiting for for a reply from us about the bike usage since last year cause of future implications. Literally ruining a partnership I worked hard for.
why would you say we are earning using their name???, I now had to explain weekly allocations and the milestones we’ve had passed to him but they still dont want to take the chance
since when did we start making money weekly from partnerships and when did they come into the milestone that just passed in december? twisting stuff just to get the dapp delisted. I’ll attach a screenshot of the call this afternoon as well

Final - Google Drive

Thank you for reading.

— Emmanuel Danquah (MasterDev…Solo moving forward)

[BreakingBallz]

I’m willing to give people the benefit of the doubt, but at this point, I’m so confused as to what’s going on. The story keeps changing. Why not bring up this Darling person to begin with? What am I missing?

The more the story changes, the more the trust disintegrates.

[B3TR-TRANSIT]

if I brought him up in the beginning what would have been said about the dapp?

[Morb]

To wrap up this conversation, it’s clear that Master Dev has consistently changed his story and misrepresented the facts.

The Shifting Timeline

1. Initial Claim: He admitted to creating and funding the wallets and performing the on-chain actions himself. He claimed he later handed over full custody to users by sending them seed phrases via phone.
2. Failure to provide Proof: When asked for evidence on Discourse, he provided videos and WhatsApp screenshots. However, the videos were filmed in April (post-proposal).
   2 of the videos were allegedly filmed in March (based on screenshots).When asked for original files to verify metadata, he uploaded them and then quickly deleted them before they could be downloaded for metadata inspection.
3. The Pivot: After failing to provide proof, he moved to private messages with a brand-new story, blaming a “business partner” for the wallet creation. In this same conversation, he contradicted himself by admitting he actually had no video proof at all, meanwhile saying the videos filmed in April were from March.
4. Final: After being urged to share his story publicly, he deleted most of the shared videos/images from Google drive and published a story, blaming the business partner, while failing to provide any tangible proof.

Lies vs. Facts

The Lie	The Fact
507 wallets belong to real users.	The wallets were funded and controlled by Master Dev before any “onboarding” happened. Voting was done in rapid batches (e.g., 96 votes in 15 minutes), and the wallets have been dormant since.
All seed phrases were deleted.	Master Dev shared a screenshot containing a user’s seed phrase, then deleted it once questioned.
B3tr Transit partnered with Aldin Cycles.	Aldin Cycles explicitly denied any partnership or knowledge of these wallets.
Video proof exists.	Master Dev eventually admitted he has no videos.

---

Conclusion

Master Dev has cycled through multiple versions of the truth. Every time a story was debunked, he invented a new one, eventually shifting the blame to a third party named Darlington. Given the track record of poor evidence and shifting narratives, there is no reason to find his latest explanation credible.

To put it bluntly: if you haven’t been honest from the start, why should anyone believe you now?

@B3TR-TRANSIT

Due to serious personal and medical issues, I became temporarily unavailable. Darlington visited me in the hospital, and I entrusted him with completing onboarding activities for Transit alongside the team. At the time, I had no reason to believe this would cause any issues

He would’ve came on Pauly’s space and talked with you so we could get to know him. And nothing would be different since you had a decent use case.

Many other grant recipients and current dapps aren’t vechain og’s. Bikademy and Zeloop are 2 off the top of my head.

But this is not to say everyone needs to disclose every employee but the fact he only existed until right at this moment when there’s questions and fingers need to be pointed seems odd.

You can’t deny that.
