Sooon.fun (TARI)

Head on a swivel, scanning for threats. @SecWar You can tell he’s furious.

I mean... Naveens personal bitchboy basically said that Tari is vaporware 😹 I will elaborate on their work ethic and how much money they've extracted, but that's basically just the tip of the iceberg. (FYI They were warning their social media interns about me for years after I've left. But they were too scared to block and anger me because they knew I kept all kinds of receipts 😹) Yat Labs was a house of cards with features they promoted for years but never actually worked on. If you scroll through their profile and discord you will see that basically every single feature promo was fake advertising to boost sales - they never intended to work or release any of those features. At some point they switched their language to "we were just experimenting" - avoiding accountability ala frank degods style 💀 Naveen was pressing everyone on the community team to use the term "Yat Creators" so their users wouldn't be reminded that they are actually "paying customers who are getting shafted". This was actually a rule! Just like "there is no ETA, but it's not forgotten" being the default reply to inquiries about features they promoted to boost sales, but never actually started working on. I remember a hilarious moment, the "web3 identity" people at Yat had to ask me what I mean by "can we actually make it resolve" 😹 At that moment I became an ENS maxi lol Then there was the grift launch with 888. The sale planned for 8888 NFTs to be sold @ 0.0888 ETH (280 USD on that day). A full sale would have yielded 2.488.640 USD (789 ETH). The number of Yat Realms sold - 1506 items for $421.680 (133 ETH) The promised features, early access, etc never actually materialized. All you got was a sparkle role on discord while Yat was claiming 888 took the money and didn't drop the promised features. Meanwhile 888 was claiming that Yat took the money and never dropped the features. And we're talking about things which would have to be implemented from Yats end, so... yeah. That being said; 888 is also a grift and another 10k character essay - the third image should tell you why. Kind of hilarious when you consider that fluffy got caught embezzling cookie money - which is how he got his federal handler who supervised his work at Tari. And then they partnered with 888 who were also doing embezzling. Shady people working with shady people... But yeah, someone pocketed $400k (instead of the planned $2.5m) and the Yat community was shafted once again. That $400k was just a drop in the ocean tho. The whole time they were just cashing out but never actually working on anything. It was kinda hilarious to see Naveen doing an AMA and claiming that "We were doing the $2.5 million dollars mint simply because we were trying to help a friend with their project. Not every partnership is about money" 😹 Speaking of money: “In its “generation zero” phase (an open beta), Yat claims to have sold almost $20 million worth of emoji identities.” ~Naveen Jain & Tech Crunch (July 30, 2021) They also had VC backing on top of the $20M sales they bragged about 😹 But once someone actually used their product it messed up everything. Because ZERO DOLLARS went into actual development. You could edit webpage forwarding and connected wallet address even if you didn't own the (NFT) Yat anymore: x.com/miyaspokeofthi… Naveen tried to say it was a singular issue that only affected me (lol), but that obviously wasn't the case 😹 I transferred my remaining (non-NFT) assets to someone and it took down their whole website for quite a while: x.com/miyaspokeofthi… Both the NFT and non-NFT versions of their product were broken to the point of being unusable. Because $0 went into development. At some point they figured they can grift partnership money. Chasing users who got fed up because the promised features never materialized wasn't profitable anymore. So they made a NFT papertrading game to grift partner money. At this point I also got more internal access and browsed through all their internal channels. (Ugh...) At some point the game got botted with thousands of users, every single username was like amanda38452893 / joseph572346529368 etc They were seriously considering to use the fake player numbers to show how much engagement they are getting. Until I called them out and provided screenshots of all the "real user" bot profiles. At that point they had to nuke them, and I guess they got salty about it because they couldn't show fake metrics to potential partners. But yeah, I mentioned I got more internal access around the time of the papertrading game. User feedback, including mine? Ignored. Development? Nope. Promised features? Fake advertising to get a sales boost. "Hit them with the no ETA when they ask about it" So many internal discussions about payments to KOLs to get more "Yat Creators" onboarded 💀 You can't imagine how pissed I was. Especially with the culmination of all the things that went down. It was also the fact that I joined their team via community member -> team member (Senior CM) pipeline and I just found out they've been fucking over the community all this time. The features they had me talk about were never even being worked on. I was seeing red. Even their hiring practices were sketchy. During hiring they mentioned hardware. On top of a macbook they were supposed to send me a VR headset. They mentioned that perk soooo often. "An Oculus Quest 2 - Our Employee Engagement events happen in VR" After signing the contract they were like "um acktchyually you are a contractor and won't be getting shit". "Contractor’s relationship with Client will be that of an independent contractor acting as a service provider to Client, and not that of an employee,worker, agent or partner of Client." When I won a prize in paper trading they did the uno reverse and claimed "well as an employee you can't get the main prize because you have an unfair edge". As if being an employee (*contractor) would let me know which assets are going to move lol I've hit them with the "umm acktchyually I'm not an employee, here is you sending me an email explicitly saying that I won't be getting the promised hardware because I'm technically an independent contractor and not an employee. Since I'm not an employee, I CAN get the main prize" 😹 I also confronted them on the lack of development and pocketing all the money and some of the messages I've seen on internal channels. Basically called them out on all the grifting they did. Five minutes later they had their lawyer (Louis) call me. They were scared about me calling them out on everything I've mentioned, their lawyer was offering me a token payment "consolation prize wink wink" to keep silent 😹 I told him that my grievances are not about money and that they can't buy my silence. Told him to fuck off, tell Naveen to suck my nuts and then I hung up. As a cherry on top: earlier that week I mentioned a way someone could bypass the NFT papertrading mechanism and win the game without breaking any rules. They dismissed it. Since I wasn't an "employee" (*contractor) anymore, and since they fucked me over on a prize I legitimately won via papertrading (~$3k value) - I figured I can have some fun with it. Ended the next round with +300k ETH profit, and they had to send me a y00t 😹 Dumped it for 1.85 ETH a while later. I think they assumed that allowing me to win like that would buy my silence. They thought wrong LOL When they noticed that it didn't, Naveen and Fluffy kept mentioning that I'm just disgruntled and hating on them because of the ~$3k prize they shorted me on. But in reality it was the lack of their work ethics and the lying to the community while trying to extract money and shaft everyone at every possible step. I couldn't give a shit about the ~3k. I did however give a shit about the ~20M+ they extracted from the community I was managing for quite a long time. And this isn't even half of the story btw. Based on all the things I've seen I would never ever touch anything related to Fluffy or Naveen. Or the VCs that invested in them. Oh and one more fun thing! Remember the monero CCS fund magically disappearing? Two people had access to it. One of them was the cookie money embezzler known as fluffy. See here: x.com/xenumonero/sta… “fluffypony and Luigi are the only parties with known access to the CCS seed.”: github.com/monero-project… github.com/monero-project… "The investigation fizzled out as no hack was found." Considering the Yat extraction, 888 grift, the millions that disappeared without going into development, etc... I don't know about you, but I think the greedy fat fuck that embezzled cookie money might have had something to do with it. Just a feeling though 😹 It can't be proven, so it's just an allegation based on observed ethics. But even if you don't count the monero money - they extracted mid 8 figures just via Yat. And they delivered nothing.
