Major Scandal At DWF Labs: Partner Dismissed Over Serious Drink Spiking Claims On X | Bitcoinist.com

DWF Labs, a Web3 investment and market-making firm, is currently embroiled in a scandal following serious allegations made by a user on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday. 

DWF Labs Partner Accused Of Spiking Drink 

The individual, known as “Hananotsorry,” claims that a partner at DFW Labs drugged her during a meeting in Hong Kong on October 24. In her account, Hana detailed the events leading to the alleged incident. She stated: 

On the evening of October 24th, I was drugged by a partner at @DWFLabs at a bar in HK. I have reported this to the local police and have collected video evidence of him spiking my drink. 

Although Hana did not disclose the partner’s name, she recounted how the individual had previously approached her with job offers related to a project he claimed would suit her background.

As a newcomer to the cryptocurrency space, Hana disclosed that she was eager to learn and accepted his invitation to meet. However, she described a concerning experience after briefly stepping away to use the restroom. 

Upon her return, Hana explains that she took a “few sips” of her drink before the partner stepped outside to make a call. A waitress then alerted her that her drink had been tampered with. She wrote:

I was shocked and couldn’t believe someone like him could do something so horrible. As I tried to leave, I felt extremely dizzy. He kept insisting, ‘Come with me, I have a suite at the Murray, and I can give you more alpha. I can help you get to places.’

Hana expressed concern that this behavior indicated a “calculated setup,” suggesting there may be other victims. After the incident, she reported it to the local police and obtained CCTV footage from the venue, which allegedly showed the partner spiking her drink multiple times.

Partner Dismissed Amid Serious Claims

In light of these allegations, DWF Labs released a statement acknowledging the serious nature of the claims. The firm stated: 

We are aware of the recent and deeply concerning allegations involving one of our partners, who has been accused of inappropriate and unacceptable behavior. While the matter is under investigation, DWF Labs has decided to dismiss the said partner from management and operational roles effective immediately.

DWF Labs also reiterated its adherence to transparency and the “highest ethical standards,” stating that they do not condone actions that go against the firm’s core values of integrity, respect, and accountability. They pledged to monitor the situation closely and support those affected by such incidents.

As the investigation unfolds, it remains unclear whether Hana or DWF Labs will provide further details regarding the identity of the accused partner. 

Local police in Hong Kong are also expected to issue statements as the situation develops. Hana concluded her message with a note of solidarity for others who may have faced similar experiences, encouraging them to reach out for support.
