The accusations seem valid advisor is not a guaranty that the project will be successful or even legit, there's a lot of advisors who just want money from the project, they should first address the scam accusations before people trust this project, not even Ver's name can have an impact on a tarnished project.
Roger ver becomes famous caused by he was included as a part of the early buyers of bitcoin who becomes the bitcoin millionaire but he was having zero skill at the development. BCH is an example about how he was doing something shady. I thought advisor never bring a big hype.
