The article discusses the incident, noting that while the developer had access to the virtual identity through a third-party vendor and worked on core wallet code including encrypted currency and fiat payment services, no malicious code or asset/data losses were found. This relates to the accompanying post, which lists other companies like Ankr, Blueberry Protocol, DEPO, Pickle Finance, and Harmony where the individual previously worked, highlighting concerns about the repeated pattern of suspicious activity across multiple crypto projects. > > "Here's a partial list of companies this guy worked at prior to MetaMask: Ankr Blueberry Protocol DEPO Pickle Finance Harmony Glad they were somehow able to detect him because lightning keeps striking the ground where he walked." ### Post #2 by @SolanaFloor > **Author:** SolanaFloor ([@SolanaFloor](https://x.com/SolanaFloor)) > **Metrics:** 201 likes · 50 retweets · 18 comments · 28.3K views > **Posted:** 2026-07-19T14:14:58+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/SolanaFloor/status/2078846058998989162](https://x.com/SolanaFloor/status/2078846058998989162) > **Visual Note:** GitHub profile page for "Yu-Gi-Oh" showing a follow chart with 0 contributions and no activity, corresponding to the developer reportedly removed from MetaMask over alleged North Korean ties. > > "JUST IN: @MetaMask has removed a developer after discovering he was linked to North Korea.

The man’s facial expressions change subtly as he talks, including blinking and slight head movements, while the background tweet remains fixed throughout. The visible tweet text discusses the importance of budding startups aligning tokens with equity through @MetaDAOProject and finding traction on @solana, noting it will add credibility to the thesis of Solana becoming the decentralized Y Combinator, and includes a partially visible quoted tweet from "Javier" mentioning Tldr, $800M in payments, Colossum, and a Nasdaq fintech raise of $33. > > "This has been one of my biggest bets of 2026 and we are starting to see the tide shift towards favoring Ownership tokens.

Across all 12 frames, there is no visual action or scene progression—the image remains identical while subtitles progress through a quote about MetaDAO. The captions read: "I think you were just starting / what was different / and what's your opinion now of / sounds fun it's / years or couple of months perhaps / to invest in those projects / so you kind of become part / of talked about MetaDAO as well / like ownership and it's all like legal structure / is it too restrictive or / you know / and it's like it's all pump and dump." > > ""I do have some questions, like is it too restrictive if it's all based on linking tokens to ownership and legal structure" Luka, founder of Ryvo Network, on what he still doesn't fully understand about MetaDAO "The narrative sounds fun, it's like I see the vision. As far as I [Spoken audio]: When we chatted a few weeks ago at the conference, I think you were just starting to learn about metadata, right? Yes. Yeah, I heard about it. I heard about dressing finance, but it was still kind of new. I kind of did not understand what was different. It was like a launchpad to me. Yeah. Yeah. And now it's been like a few weeks, maybe you got a little bit deeper. Did you, did you know, learn more and what's your opinion now of the whole like ownership narrative that's going on on Solana? The narrative is sounds fun. It's like I see the vision. As far as I understand it's what if you have someone who builds this crazy company and within like next couple of years or a couple of months perhaps you know builds this great product and it gets acquired by one of the big companies and so it allows anyone I guess from all of the world to invest in those projects. And then when they get bought out, they can be part of that, part of that, I guess, buyouts, right? So you kind of become part owner of the project. It's interesting, but what I heard from others, we actually had a meetup yesterday with Subteam Georgia, and we kind of talked about metadata as well. I do have some questions about, like, is it too restrictive? If it's all based on, like, linking tokens to, like, ownership and it's all, like, legal structure, does the token even make sense? Like, what's the difference? Like, that's one of the main questions I have, to be honest. You know, is it too restrictive? Or it doesn't make sense? Like, I don't know. I'm trying to kind of, like, still feel, you know, because obviously this is not the file form, you know, as far as I understand this is still brand new. Most of launchpads are like you just launch a token and like people snipe and then they dump and you have a narrative and it's like it's all pump and dump. So obviously like that was trying to do something different." ### Post #13 by @JakeBalchNFT > **Author:** jakebalch.nft ([@JakeBalchNFT](https://x.com/JakeBalchNFT)) > **Metrics:** 7 likes · 5 retweets · 1 comments · 475 views > **Posted:** 2026-07-19T20:00:00+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/JakeBalchNFT/status/2078932892646781317](https://x.com/JakeBalchNFT/status/2078932892646781317) > **Visual Note:** [caption-failed: flagged sensitive] > > "Who is going to be our moby d**k!?
