TechFlow news, June 27 — Hart Lambur, co-founder of Across, responded to multiple allegations made by Glue founder Ogle against his team and protocol. Ogle had previously claimed that the Across team manipulated votes to withdraw approximately $23 million from the DAO treasury and transfer it to the private company Risk Labs.
In response to the allegation of "privately withdrawing $23 million for personal gain," Hart stated that Risk Labs is a non-profit foundation bound by Cayman Islands law, with funds used solely for protocol development. He emphasized that he earns a salary of only $100,000 annually and has not claimed any token rewards. The fund usage aligns with standard DAO practices and has supported the development of Across v3 and v4.
Regarding the claim that "governance processes were manipulated by insiders," Hart explained that team members are free to vote using tokens they purchased themselves. Kevin's wallet (maxodds.eth) is public, Reinis's voting activity is legitimate, proposals passed without opposition, and the entire process was transparent.
