I welcome any legal process that brings more facts into the open.
If that means taking it to court or continuing to shine a light through public disclosures, I will do both.

Big day at The Block! Super excited to welcome our new CEO Steve @stevewchung . 🚀
Bridging the U.S. and APAC markets in such a globalized industry is a constant challenge that requires deep, nuanced understanding. It’s about much more than just business; it’s about aligning different cultural and market logics.
As we evolve, Steve’s institutional and financial depth is exactly what we need to leap into the next stage of our journey. Can’t wait for the strategic moves ahead.

@_RichardTeng@TheBlockCo What you put in the middle of your office may be a reflection of what you care about the most. It is a lovely painting, and even better with the sweet story behind it. Thanks again for being on our show!
In 2015, I purchased this Naklua condo in North Pattaya, for 2900 BTC. It was the first home I had ever owned. Although I only lived here for about two years before moving on to Bangkok and Seoul, and later to Europe, my time in Pattaya gave me my first real experience of living abroad and the courage to explore much farther parts of the world.
When I first moved here, I had never set foot in a major developed country. During my first two years in Pattaya, I obtained a visa from the U.S. embassy in Thailand and received a second passport from Saint Kitts and Nevis. It was also here that I began to reshape my life and shift my focus away from the country where I was born. While many Chinese miners were still celebrating the early crypto boom before the eventual crackdown, I had already tasted my first real sense of freedom thanks to Pattaya.
It was here that I personally built and launched our Zcash mining pool. I also witnessed the transition from Rama IX to Rama X, and watched the FamilyMart downstairs magically transform into a Tops Daily almost overnight.
Yesterday, I sold this condo for 7 BTC.
Life must go on, and I will miss Pattaya.
Bon voyage.
