Paradigm cuts salaries
1/ We made the difficult decision to cut salaries across the board by 15% this week ?

Post FTX's collapse, it is clear the contagion is deep and wide and like many of our clients and peers, we are not immune
2/ Salary cuts reduce the need for layoffs seen across the ecosystem and have a lesser impact on org momentum

3/ These are tough times but we must do the hard thing and retain the financial flexibility to navigate the turbulent times we find ourselves in as an industry?

Binance and CZ are targets now
CZ has been playing with fire and the US establishment. @Binance and CZ are targets now. Anyone who thinks that CZ can wipe out the 2nd biggest donor of the Democratic Party without consequence is wrong. I’m sure there will be indictments next year. Pull out of Binance. https://t.co/fveoCs6JoB

After our FTX Twitter Spaces and my comments about CZ’s role in the FTX collapse I’ve been contacted by Binance insiders, former & current. The stories they share, not just with me, paint pictures of Wild West lawlessness. I’m certain that @Binance and CZ have big trouble coming.

Your crypto is not meant to be on third party exchanges anyway. It defeats the whole purpose of crypto. @ElonMusk and I warned you in our FTX Twitter space to withdraw your crypto from exchanges. Many others in the industry followed with the same advise. Listen to us and get out.

Spiritgates NFTs were created by a Fiverr artist who received no credit
1/ A thread on how @jyxdi profits off the work of an Fiverr artist while implying the art is her own to launch NFT projects such as @spiritgates.

Let’s dive in. pic.twitter.com/XdsjdizBNj
2/ Recently I found out that Jyothee supposedly an “award winning artist” was buying pieces for $25-50 off an artist named Sajol Hassan from Bangladesh on Fiverr.
— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) December 15, 2022
This first began in May 2022 with 60 pieces being commissioned since then. pic.twitter.com/Z6LAzDpEJp
3/ She would post the art on Instagram/Twitter and lead people on that she created these pieces on her own.
— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) December 15, 2022
Even launching an NFT project Spirit Gates that brought in $376k (281 ETH) in Sep 2022.
Let’s walk through some examples. pic.twitter.com/kF1uFwiNpP
4/ EX 1: Here was a piece she claimed to have created
— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) December 15, 2022
Here is a message with the real artist Sajol who sent Jyothee the files via Fiverr
To make it more believable she would ask Sajol for the sketches so she could post them online pic.twitter.com/54RXdtEC9K
5/ EX 2: She tweets out “cookin up some ?”
— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) December 15, 2022
Here is the message of Sajol sending her the sketch and final version of the piece. pic.twitter.com/92dqasRiL5
6/ EX 3: Here is the cover photo on OpenSea and Twitter for Spirit Gate.
— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) December 15, 2022
Once again designed by Sajol. pic.twitter.com/7aK1OTbn3B
7/ EX 4: Here she talks about a work in progress. In reality Sajol sent her the sketches beforehand. pic.twitter.com/8FhXOsIgZP
— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) December 15, 2022
8/ EX 5: Sajol also created the base model for the Spirit Gates NFT project pic.twitter.com/w3ewutWuRT

9/ I reached out to @jyxdi to ask about this.
— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) December 15, 2022
She claims that he was credited on the website in October (oddly weeks after the project minted?)
I reviewed the website archive and found no evidence of this. https://t.co/Hc7ukhc3ea
10/ She also claimed to have mentioned Sajol in a Twitter space yet conveniently the Twitter space doesn’t seem to be recorded.
— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) December 15, 2022
There is currently no mention of Sajol in the projects Discord, Twitter, and OpenSea either.
11/ I reached out to Sajol and he said he’s asked for credit 4-5 times in total.
— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) December 15, 2022
Right before posting this I reached out Jyothee who says he will be visible soon (we will see) pic.twitter.com/hfKavsuSoL
12/ It seems strange to me the art she is posting on her personal Instagram and Twitter is art she didn’t create?
— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) December 15, 2022
If you look at the comments many people assume she did create them. pic.twitter.com/HfHLCZn1b6
