So what happened exactly? Some employees fired the owners? That would be first time I hear anything like that.
And said employee is now going to pay back the money the owner took?
Lol, yes.
The employees' conscience did not allow them to sleep anymore, knowing that former owners scammed people, thus they decided to pay the debts from their own pockets. And also to arrange somehow to take the company away from owners' hands.
Probably they are the one in-charge with the operation while their so called owners are those financing their operation. Probably they are looking for investors to fund the brand or they are using their own money to reimburse.
But we all know that there's no real hero in the crypto without a catch for their good action. Probably they have something hidden agenda here that's why they want to come clean.
