#CardanoDebate Charles Hoskinson Orders Comprehensive Audit of IOG Amid Allegations of Misuse of 600 Million ADA. The controversy began when members of the Cardano community accused IOG - the company behind Cardano - of misusing 318 million ADA tokens. These tokens were unclaimed after Cardano's ICO in 2017 and became unspendable after the Shelley upgrade of the network in 2020, bringing Cardano to full decentralization. Hoskinson called the individuals 'Personal Attacks'. Hoskinson was chosen as the person responsible for the allegations and expressed emotional distress over the situation. He is considering handing over control of his social media accounts to a group. This is not the first time he has considered stepping back—previous controversies, including one involving the meme coin WALDE, have led him to contemplate similar actions.
