I wonder how that's going...
Over Iran sanctions violations. So they have that going for them
He would have been very high up (Dir/VP level). They were offering high six figures in equity as part of the comp package (obviously this would be toast now).
During the interview, everyone kept talking about the next round of funding that was coming (around $1B, I think). They ended up with an infusion from FTX instead.
Everyone that he spoke to left a legit finance role to join the company, and they all had huge equity packages.
He ended up taking a boring job at a bank because he wife refused to tell her coworkers that her husband works in crypto.
I know another guy that joined Coinbase a few months ago. He absolutely loves it there.
I said take the bank job because it had a higher base pay.
He wanted to try something new and was leaning towards crypto…
Seemed like a sure fire, riskless way to make millions.
Staking and various Earn/lending platforms seem to have done well lately too. Probably was worth it for all the people chasing an extra 2-4 percent over FDIC insured accounts.
He had about 30k ‘invested’ in various NFTs and used to claim that they were worth 100k+. All of the sudden he stopped talking about them, and I was advised by my wife not to ask him about it over thanksgiving.
payments to Notre Dame student athletes? Did that ever take off? Brady Quinn is involved as I recall. Edit: I think Quinn’s NIL entity was different. Anyway, I don’t see what happened with the 5555 $200 leprechaun NFTs after initial reports.
Could have been a real NFT king
Or was it porn salute?
This is all I have on the story.
There's a former colleague of mine who made daily posts on LinkedIn touting NFT projects that he was involved in and invested in.
He stopped posting about four months ago.
I can't remember what it was for but I think I blurted out "ooooh, bad timing guys."
