Doghunter labs received funding from the University of Messina in part because Musto claimed IBM, Olivetti, an MIT doctorate and an NYU masters on his resume. This is fraud under Italian law, and now Musto -- and by extension Doghunter labs and now Arduino -- may face criminal and civil penalties. Musto is, simply, a liability to Arduino. Yet under last September's agreement, he controls 51% of the organization. Contextualizing that, Arduino is by far the most successful Open Hardware effort ever. Allowing Musto to continue his influence over Arduino casts a shadow over the entire Open Hardware movement.
