Rebuttal of Recent Accusations Against Jared Grey, Head Chef of Sushiswap
Recently, YannickCrypto.eth, a community member in ALQO, a company that I previously served as CEO of, accused me of being a “scammer” with unfounded accusations to garner more attention and increase his Twitter following shortly after I joined Sushi as the new Head Chef.
I wanted to author a succinct post addressing each accusation from the tweet thread verbatim to show that all his accusations are, in fact, false and also to provide further clarity into my professional background.
Claim 1:
“Back in 2012 Jared Grey scammed some people and made several time copyright infrightment through his company “MultiPlex PC”.
Rebuttal 1:
I contracted an SEO firm that engaged in copyright infringement without my knowledge on behalf of my company, MultiPlex PC, a hardware parts eCommerce business. After realizing they had engaged in copyright infringement, I tried to remedy the situation. But, the SEO company had already created the damage, and I tried to reach a reasonable compromise with the firm that suffered from copyright infringement in the best way possible.
Claim 2:
“In 2019 the year i met him the first time he became the CEO of ALQO (why he removed all tracks from his social media to ALQO?).
Shortly later he introduced the Web Wallet for ALQO that was used to steal 70% of the TOTAL SUPPLY of the users of ALQO.”
Rebuttal 2:
ALQO was a company I served as CEO of and where I first met Yannick, who was a community member at the time. ALQO was later pivoted and rebranded to EONS, currently on my LinkedIn.
The “theft” that Yannick mentions came from an incident where ALQO tokens were stolen from an internal web wallet by an insider in ALQO who was on the technical team and used tech vulnerabilities to exploit the wallet and steal funds. I was not involved in any capacity in the theft and participated in the investigation of the theft and the refunding process for community members.
Claim 3:
“Meanwhile he scammed his customers together with his dev Kevin Collmer, he got several Coin founder to pay him 1 BTC listing fees for the Exchange Bitfineon that never went online. I talked to some and came to the conclussion that he scammed around 20 BTC this way.”
Rebuttal 3:
Bitfineon was an exchange I operated that was part of the EONS / ALQO ecosystem. The exchange had a 1 BTC technical integration fee to cover developer costs and operational onboarding to integrate and onboard new tokens. Bitfineon was operational and did launch and was a functional digital asset exchange that onboarded several new tokens under my supervision as CEO.
Claim 4:
In 2020 then he relabeled ALQO to EONS and moved from a own Blockchain to ETH ERC-20. Very likely to kill all traces back to ALQO.
With this vote i lost all hope in @SushiSwap
Rebuttal 4:
ALQO is its own chain, and many other tokens, such as MATIC, AVAX, and TRX, have ERC20 versions of their token for better liquidity on exchanges. We also have an ERC20 version of ALQO and EONS for the very same reason — to list on additional Ethereum-based DEXs and centralized exchanges.
Claim 5:
“looks like @jaredgrey was involved in much more scams, what you gonna do @SushiSwap ?”
Rebuttal 5:
I was on the multi-sig of a project called Encore, founded by an anon called Pika, who later was doxxed as a 14-year-old. I defended him online on social media and public channels because I did not believe that a 14-year-old should be held to such accountability.
Claim 6:
From J-Crypto (@jcryptooooo) in response: “Is this the same dude that fingered a horse?”
Rebuttal 6:
Jared Grey is a common name — there is a male porn star with my same name. He asked me to buy my Twitter handle and reached out to me a few years ago.
The video of the horse fingering, if it exists (I’ve never seen it before), is probably a video produced by Jared Grey, the porn star, and not myself.
You can find the pornstar’s IMDB here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1087339/
In Conclusion
I am so disheartened that there have been so many false accusations on Twitter that have recently gone viral without any substantial evidence to back them up.
I feel that I’ve missed the window of opportunity to introduce myself to the Sushi community properly. So I have authored a longer blog post on my education, professional resume, and personal background that I’ve linked here: https://medium.com/@jaredgrey/my-story-introducing-myself-to-the-sushi-community-44fb05424027.
Regarding the defamatory statements on Twitter, I am properly addressing them offline and not on Twitter.
For those who want to engage further with additional questions, I will host a Community Town Hall and post further details about the timing on Twitter shortly.
