He is on paper but he's not responded to the teams emails in months and months. As I said, the only people left (and running this company now) are the engineers, with little money. Yifu ran off to to work with the government about anonymity and took the millions with him.
He is the founder but he isn't the only owner.
Do you have some insider information? You are the OP and seemed to have some vested interested in this?
I am not so sure Yifu not responding to emails is really proof that he is no longer associated with Avalon. It wasn't that long ago when he seemed to disappear from the face of this earth and not responding to any IM, email, forum posts for months while everybody is waiting for the B3 chips/miners. He was associated with Avalon at that time, No? So what's so different now when you don't see or hear from him? If anything else, it is typical Yifu behavior. It doesn't prove that he is not associated with Avalon and making money off new Avalon chips that I hope nobody is buying when there are so many more options available now.
