I haven’t reached out to them and I haven’t been contacted. There was a short window where I was super admin for their entire Google workspace, but everything was pretty cryptic and I had limited time to exfil data. I seriously contemplated going public but I started receiving death threats when I left the project, so I took the… cautious approach. Maybe now that the project is wholly sunk, I should make a YouTube video.

You have a legal responsibility to share the information you know with the SEC. Do what's right and don't be afraid of these tech bros, they're probably busy pissing their pants right now anyways.

  > Do what's right and don't be afraid of these tech bros, they're probably busy pissing their pants right now anyways. This is a good point. While I'm glad they're starting to go after celebrities who tout scams, a lot of these people are "just" reading something from a card or tweeting something in return for a check. They really need to get the folks who contracted with the celebs and told them what to say, too!

  Do what's right, which is to protect your neck. The person doesn't really have anything of substance to add. If the person did decide to go to the SEC, here's what you'd need: 1.) A good lawyer (don't go talking to investigators without a lawyer) 2.) A sit down with the lawyer and the investigators 3.) ??? 4.) Worry if the death threats are actually meaningful A dozen crypto bros may not be too worrying. But you don't know who else got juice from the scheme. There were already unknown boxing promoters mentioned. Boxing is a dirty sport with real organized crime ties. And crypto is used to facilitate huge amounts of money laundering, which attracts criminals of all stripes. Easy for random HN commenter to say go to the SEC. In real life, there are consequences that the person just doesn't need.
