Take crypto off your resume -- it's a scarlet mark.

Thanks for the advice. I sense that there has been dirty politics going on behind the scenes. I quit a few years ago after the leaders of the project I worked for basically stopped caring. It was a relatively sudden change, as though they had been corrupted to run their own project into the ground. My sense of the space was that it was mostly honest, well-meaning people who were forced to discredit themselves and turn into scams as part of some coercive deal with various powerful entities. I can only speculate as to which entities might be at the root of the corruption but it's unfortunate that the entire space couldn't stop itself from becoming a scam.
