What potential conflict of interest were you referring to? What do you believe to be Roger Ver's true motive? Do you believe he made a substantial investment in Monero, which was more than in any other altcoin?
Roger Ver is an investor in zcash:
https://z.cash/team.htmlI've just been looking at the zcash site -- they all seem like a very shiny bunch, about as far removed from the ideals of the early BTCers as you could imagine. My first impression was...the Apple of crypto and it makes me wonder why such a bunch would be interested in privacy. They seem quite forthright that they are in it for the wealth.
But I suspect a lot of funds will flow from the PnDpers who will see a ground floor opportunity.
In another thread, someone was saying that half the Zcash dev team worked for Israeli Signals Intelligence. I don't know if there's any proof of that, but clearly some of them have worked in Israeli academia, which usually overlaps with the Israeli Military/Intelligence establishment.
