A blockchain firm has filed a lawsuit against Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, alleging that he stole their technology while passing it off as an investment. It was filed by MouseBelt Labs, a corporation that has spent money and effort into Knowledgr. This is comparable to the CEO of Coinbase’s ResearchHub, which uses tokens in the same way that Bitcoin does.
Armstrong is said to have given Knowledgr’s CEO an investment. After learning of the latter’s early start on his own initiative. His platform also offered to host the tokens of Knowledgr, which he claimed to be interested in doing.
The unidentified Knowledgr CEO was reportedly buried in college debts when the offer was made. Armstrong is accused of “diverting” the project’s resources into his own efforts when a competitor is eliminated.
Not the First Time for Brian Armstrong
