Former NetVRk CEO Says Owners Bought Home With Investor Money

Former NetVRk CEO says that the founders of the company used investor funds in order to buy themselves a luxury home, and not for the benefit of the company.

NetVRk, a multichain metaverse project, is embroiled in an internal quarrel over allegations that some top leadership team members misused investment monies for personal benefit.

Daniel Kennedy, the former CEO of NetVRk, used the company’s Twitter account to post messages that have since been removed. One Twitter user, seen below, took pictures of the charges.

As a result of being “verbally attacked” by NetVRK founders Michael Katseli and Linus Chee, Kennedy asserted that “truth is a defense to defamation.” He further claimed that Katseli “illegally exploited Netvrk’s bank account deposits to qualify for [a] mortgage loan” on a multi-million dollar personal residence. The former NetVRk CEo says that the founders were a little bit too careless with investor money and bought a luxury home with it.

Chee and Katseli are also accused of “defaming [Kennedy] by publishing incorrect remarks,” according to the now-deleted tweets.

I honestly get sick with headline like this. It’s really not encouraging for the decentralized dream🤦🏾‍♂️

Thony Nava, a crypto marketing professional, summed up the community reaction to the tweets, stating that “headlines like these… It’s not looking well for the decentralized dream.”

Kenney‘s assertions were addressed by the NetVRk team in a message on its official Telegram channel. It denied “any wrongdoing” and stated that the money used to purchase the residence were obtained through a loan given by MetaRabbit LTD, the business’s “parent company.”

“Daniel Kennedy has accused me of misappropriating investor funds. I strongly deny any wrongdoing.

In May of this year, in order to purchase a home, I requested and received a $1,000,000 loan from MetaRabbit LTD, the parent company responsible for our offshore digital asset issuances.

These funds were proceeds of a sale of NFTs and were not the proceeds of any investment activities of MetaRabbit or any other part of the greater NetVRk corporate structure.”

According to the NetVRk team, the tweets were “inappropriate, disrespectful, and potentially harmful to the entire project.” Along with the controversy, the $NTVRK token has dropped around 30% in the last 24 hours.

Chee, NetVRk’s co-founder and current COO, said Kennedy stole cash from the company, but clarified:

“He didn’t steal most of the funds. [NetVRk] definitely has running capital to continue and deliver as planned.”

Due to active legal procedures, no more information concerning the nature of the theft claims is available at this time.

The company has stated that it will not comment on HR decisions and that they wish Dante all the best in his future. The firm also thanked him for his service.
