Re: Energi [NRG] Cryptocurrency for World Adoption | PoS | MN | No-ICO or Premine |
I will make a post here in regard to Andrey's termination, and subsequent behavior, to clear the air, once and for all.
Firstly, if you haven't yet, read Energi's response here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4912743.msg54292046#msg54292046 -
To be straightforward -- Andrey is habitually and intentfully a malicious manipulator and sociopath, entailing many criminal elements in his character. Being of poor moral quality, he can't recognize the good in the world, which is the root of the high-level issue: someone of his low moral character simply does not fit in our organization -- it's like oil and water, nor does our caliber of organization fit his reality, so he fought against it. Andrey likes to pick fights, like he did with others in our organization, and like he has tried to do with me here. I HARDLY interacted with him while he was in our organization. He had the benefit of working in one of the BEST cryptocurrency projects in the world. He has proven himself to be extremely UNGRATEFUL, and UNCONSCIOUS. It's exactly the qualities we don't want in our organization, and I have our instructed our directors to be FAR more careful who allow in, and who we tolerate in our organization! His behavior, as a whole, is a reflection of his own internal problems and conflicts and extremely negative perspective of the world.
The reason Andrey was terminated was due to his final display of disrespect within our organization several weeks ago. This occurred after a call we had with him 2 months ago where we were ready to fire him, but gave him YET ANOTHER chance out of mercy. We specifically discussed the serious requirement of respecting everyone in the organization. Throughout Andrey's tenure at Energi, we felt a disconnect, which Ryan and I both attributed to his poor english and otherwise communication skills (a member of our team described it as "deciphering hieroglyphics)", as we tried to to only see in the good in him. Meanwhile his subtle (not so subtle anymore) disrespect was felt by leaders and contributors alike in Energi, along with repeated bullying/demeaning type of behavior. Most people ducked away from, or submitted to his bullying type of behavior, in order to avoid confrontation. These were always a concern for me, and a major reason why Andrey was never invited to the executive circle of Energi (and Thank God for that!).
In the same phone call I mentioned above, there's a great example of Andrey's character:
The purpose of the call 2 months ago was to either fire him (due to his disrespectful attitude), or given him one last chance out of mercy (we shouldn't have). In the call, I sought to diagnose the reason for his pattern of disrespectful behavior. As a very conscious person, I was present with him, giving him my time and care. I distilled to the root of his behavior, discovering where it stemmed from his childhood problems. I hit a nerve when we got here, as he started sobbing on the phone. I was so kind to him, from my heart (what a betrayal!). In my last communication with him, he told me he was fake-crying for "theatrics." Ryan and I (who were both on the call with him), don't believe that. Rather, he is lying about that, to spin anything he can in his favor. This is a perfect example of Andrey's way of being. I'm pretty sure he takes pride in this type of behavior too - changing the story to whatever he thinks makes him look best, despite the fact that he's lying (which he sees as merely an inconvenience). On that note, if Andrey continues to makes any more disparaging claims about me or Energi, just ask yourself "does sound twisted, not factual, or to fit some desired narrative by Andrey?" If they answer yes, then he is lying. As he has done for dozens of things he has claimed thus far.
I will add, I had no personal qualm with Andrey, even when he was fired, I always tried to help him (and again, in hindsight gave him way too many chances). Only weeks after, when he re-surfaced, broke his NDA and started attacking our organization, did I have a problem with him. Until this time, I looked at Andrey with KINDNESS and MERCY and tried to help him. He is too mentally sick to see that. And this is what we got in return. Now he has now sadly gone WAY over the line. Since he was terminated, Andrey has shown he doesn't respect contracts/agreements, and we will take all measures possible to protect and uphold justice in the Energi ecosystem, against ALL criminals/bad actors. He has majorly violated the contracts he signed, including his NDA, claiming it doesn't apply to him - basically trying to weasel his way out (we'll see about that, won't we Andrey?)
Since Andrey's original post, he has attacked the Energi ecosystem by collaborating with lowest-of-the-low, Ziggy/Bashful, a wanted scammer who has scammed nearly 1 MILLION DOLLARS worth (or possibly more), from the Energi community and other cryptocurrency communities. He has leaked code weaknesses and collaborated with Ziggy in conducting DDOS attacks against our network. Birds of a feather stick together! He has also attempted to defraud as well in this Bitcointalk thread, using numerous fake alias', to have a conversation with himself, including "Hastaguy", "Selicio", "E:", and probably more. On a Discord channel he recently created to attack Energi, he was even caught and ADMITTED creating fake secondary accounts. He's doing the same thing here. He thinks readers here are stupid and can't recognize his same broken English and same sentence structure from every brand new account talking to himself.
Andrey has also sent damaging messages including with claims to exchanges, Coinmarketcap, and our other partners. A disgruntled employee is one thing, Andrey has crossed the line, he has passed the line to CRIMINAL behavior. He has done virtually everything he can think of attack Energi, while again using manipulation techniques, sending fake apology letters to legal and myself, and otherwise lying through his teeth. His actions are an attack on every contributor, community member and investor in Energi. He doesn't care about Energi, or anyone in it, as seen by his actions (trying to damage Energi, with disregard to everyone involved -- a reflection his unconscious self-serving behavior).
If it wasn't already obvious, all of his negatively-spun statements and conclusions are false, sometimes so out of the realm of reality it would be amusing if it weren't disparaging to myself and Energi . Anyone even distantly aware of Energi, the values we what stand for, and what we've proven by way of ACTIONS (not just words) knows Andrey's allegations do not fit Energi's character, as we've proven by what WE HAVE DONE. I created the Energi Earndrop giving away over $6.5 million dollars, giving each participant TRIPLE what they should have expected (that was my doing), and I did this instead of doing an ICO like everyone else raising $20M (and how many of those projects are doing well now? I have a portfolio of other projects too!). I have helped in the world, and will continue to help those around me! I created Energi Impact- one of the most prominent public health and service organizations in the cryptocurrency space. And also, have led Energi to be a financial success in a cryptocurrency market where 95%+ of other ICO's have utterly failed! So while Andrey is calling us a "scam" and "ponzi scheme" maybe he should take a look around the rest of the space first! I will NOT tolerate someone out-of-control bad-mouthing us and attacking us at no end. He WILL be held accountable for his behavior.
This experience has caused me to reflect on why we had such a toxic individual around for so long, and it comes down the fact that our leadership was too merciful, and too tolerant of bad behavior. We all actually wanted to help raise up Andrey, to help him be the best he could be. There were situations in the past (some more than a year ago) that we seriously considered firing him but gave him another chance (we gave him numerous extra chances since his on-boarding, which again, was a mistake). Going forward, we will have much higher expectations from the onset, and a very important subject of that is treating other team members and all superiors with respect.
Once again, Andrey has now shown his colors by by his attacks, seeking to harm Energis relationship with exchanges and service providers, the network itself, and more. This is unacceptable to us, and Andrey will face justice for his actions, and we will protect against any and all attackers that seek to harm Energi. Energi was built out of love, and we will fight for what we love!
I will not be around to discuss this further, I have more important matters to tend to, specifically, ensuring our organization has funding to get through this upcoming global market depression we are getting into, and protecting our contributors jobs and livelihoods. I don't have time to waste for this, and will let our legal team teach Andrey to finally have respect, and for him to understand defamation is a crime (btw Andrey, defamation is a criminal charge in Latvia, maybe you should take a break from your temper tantrum's and reflect on what you are getting yourself into).

"The monster uncovers its face" apparently
It is extraordinary demonstrative how Tommy shows his abusive nature. If I would really be an employee of a US company then such public admission of harassment would cost too much for any business.
The first call on Feb 25: that's true that Tommy and Ryan called me shouting loud: "YOU FAILED, DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?". I answered: "OK, please explain". Tommy explains that I have not prepared Support and Marketing materials, and not implemented the (trouble-making) auto-collaterilization feature, and not added packages. My answer was quite clear that a) Product Management is a Marketing discipline, b) Support is under Community Management at Energi, c) auto-collaterilization was never captured in any requirements, d) packaging was already there from Ethereum, but not used on purpose as Core Node was not assumed to be run on desktops, and the existing scheme fitted auto-deployment better, e) finally, I was not paid to do others' job, but I was raising my concerns about overall readiness in meetings and reports. Tommy answered that Support and Marketing is my responsibility, that Energi Marketing department does only SALES, that auto-collaterlization was not implemented just because "I did not want to do that". And, that packaging is the most important part of the project. Then I told him that I am not looking to continue cooperation with Energi once Gen 3 is released. He was so angry, that he "demoted" me, but asked not to tell anyone. LoL. I gave a chance Tommy to retreat with the remaining of his dignity. Should I explain further why he was afraid to talk to me in public, not to show his incompetence as self-entitled CEO as he just proofed with telling about the exec's meetings?
The second call on Feb 27: after two days, Tommy was still not happy with his defeat-by-fact, and returned with a new attack. He started from: "if you would be in military, do you know how your commander would SLAP you?". He repeated that like 10 times, receiving only sarcasm from my side. Then he tortured me and Ryan with his monologue comparing me to a puppy in his backyard for about an hour, and only allowing to response with "yes, sir" for the first half hour. LoL. Finally, he started guessing of my "troubles". He came to my ex-bosses, and I told how I was grateful to them, especially the first ones who helped me in professional growth by own role model. Then he started to guess about parents, and it was the second hour. I gave what he wanted - his sick feeling of dominance, so I could get rid of him and complete Gen 3 migration. Note: later on Mar 19, I admitted to Ryan that my mother was quite strict until I was 12 years old and could psychologically defend self and be independent, and that's the reason I am quite sensitive to any false accusations, and that's why I click Tommy on the nose each time he starts his ego-shit-storms.
Regarding issues with me, the guys do not tell that they begged to me to supervise technology department back in Spring of 2019 when Energi was technologically falling apart. Now, Tommy tries to tell that there was some circle of "anonymous offended by Andrey" for almost two years with "promotions" of Andrey up to Director role. How childish...
I am even grateful to Tommy. As a private consultant, I've worked with different types of SANE people, but it's the first time I met such irrational bottom which has started a public war because of an article which no one has really read. My appearance in this forum was not even caused by the call from Tommy on Apr 15, but due to public defamation in Discord and obsessive trolling via other communication means. Again, Tommy, how childish?
I did propose cease fire & make peace, I gave them a post with an opportunity to somehow excuse what they were doing. Then, I found an unimportant-now bug, and made an excuse for the bug, but the opposing side continued this circus with accounts which impersonate me. Still, Tommy, how childish?
I do not need that bullshit to make my answers, as I ALWAYS represent myself.
P.S. "He has leaked code weaknesses and collaborated with Ziggy in conducting DDOS attacks against our network" (c) Tommy. Facepalm, it's clinical.
