Steven Nerayoff, ex-advisory to Ethereum and currently prepping a lawsuit against Ethereum founders, Vitalik Buterin and Joseph Lubin, revealed a crucial decision from his past that saw him reject over 1 million ETH. He made this revelation on X (formerly Twitter), stating that his decision not to accept the Ether stemmed from a stance to elude conflicts of interest and to help the Ethereum’s original vision- something he believes is in variance with its present course.
Nerayoff expressed his conviction to avoid a potential conflict which would have seen him with over 1 million Ether if he had accepted his contribution, covered his expenses in Ether, and chose to invest in the ICO. He contends that the initial coin offering (ICO) and utility token model led to the surge in Ether’s price and also funded countless projects on the Ethereum platform. Despite contributing significantly to Ethereum and the rise in Ether’s price, Nerayoff expressed dissatisfaction with the current trajectory of Ethereum, emphasizing a focus on decentralized applications (DApps) would have had a more profound effect and value on Ether.
The lawsuit preparation against Vitalik Buterin and Joseph Lubin comes amidst several accusations thrown at them by Nerayoff. Also, he has released a collection of communication with Ethereum cofounder, Ethan Wilding, and former CCO, Stephan Tual, relating to the allocation of Ether and Ethereum endowments to him, dating back to 2014 and 2015. Notably, these released communications would form evidence in his legal tussles with Bucklin and Lubin. As things stand right now, it remains unknown when he will officially file the suit.
