The thread alleged that Grey had orchestrated various scams in the space under his company called “Multiplex PC” and had stolen crypto from investors. YannickCrypto, a user account that is known as YannickCrypto noted that Grey was previously the CEO at ALQO and had been used for stealing funds. The ALQO team apparently launched a web wallet that was used by investors to steal large amounts of ALQO.
Yannick claims that Grey took the scheme further. Apparently, ALQO was then moved to Ethereum and renamed to EONS in order to make it difficult to trace the source of ALQO.
Grey is also being accused of scamming Bitfineon (a cryptocurrency exchange) that was promoted, but never became live. One Twitter user claimed that Grey had tried to charge coin founders a 1 BTC listing cost for Bitfineon, and then stole approximately 20 BTC.
There were also rumors that Jared Grey was involved in inappropriate sexual behavior with horses. This rumor, true to crypto style, attracted the greatest interest. It has caused SUSHI’s price to drop.
