The rumors are true and I can finally talk about it: The DOJ has dismissed its case against me and my name has been cleared. This is an amazing result for me, for my family, for my team, and for DeSo. There is no limit to what we can achieve from here. At some point, I'll share my full story. But for now, I just want to clarify a few important points since I can now speak openly. 1. My innocence withstood intense scrutiny. The government meticulously combed through my private texts, my private emails, and even private documents I'd written looking for any shred of wrongdoing. They went to people I'd done business with and essentially pressured them to say bad things about me (which nobody did, not even people I'd let go in the past). The process was extremely adversarial. They weren't looking for a reason to clear me, they were looking for a reason to convict me, and any reason would have worked as long as they thought it would convince a jury. After months of searching, using every method and tool at their disposal, including applying pressure to those around me, the government decided to dismiss their charges. It's hard to understate how rare a dismissal like this is. After going through this process myself and seeing what the government is capable of, I believe it's highly unlikely that anyone who has ever done anything wrong, or even anything that "feels" wrong, would ever survive the government's scrutiny without being convicted. I truly believe it only happened in my case because I've always gone above and beyond to do right by everyone I've ever done business with, and because I truly believe in my heart that what we're doing with DeSo is important for the world (and this came out in all my private communications). 2. There was no victim. In their complaint, the government claimed that a conversation they had with "Investor-1" led them to believe that I had defrauded this investor. Many things were incorrect about this claim after it was scrutinized: 1) I never lied about anything. In fact, I was beyond transparent at all times, and I'm confident that Investor-1 would agree 2) Investor-1 was and still is up on their purchase, even after the government's FUD tanked the price by over 70% 3) I am confident that Investor-1 does not consider themselves to be a victim. Not only that, but Investor-1 has never been anything less than an amazing partner to me all throughout my career for almost a decade now. When I saw them mentioned in the complaint I immediately suspected that the government had compelled their testimony, and was either misunderstanding or misrepresenting an innocent conversation to reach the conclusion they wanted to reach. I believe that if you asked Investor-1, the only entity they'd consider themselves a victim of is the US government for wasting so much of their time, and for costing them more in legal fees than the amount allegedly lost to fraud (which to be clear was zero because they are still up on their original purchase of tokens). In summary: I believe the case that was brought against me consisted of a no-loss non-fraud against an alleged victim who doesn't even consider anything negative to have occurred, other than the actions of the government itself. 3) DeSo is fully-decentralized. Perhaps the allegation that hurt the most was the government's claim that BitClout/DeSo, the blockchain that I've been working on for years now, is not fully-decentralized. They did this by pulling a text message I sent out of context. In the message, I said something like "even something that is fake decentralized would probably still not be a security." Right *after* that message I clarified that BitClout/DeSo is *actually* decentralized, and thus has virtually no securities risk as a result. Unfortunately, the government didn't include that context in their complaint, which in my opinion is an act of bad faith on the government's part. For the avoidance of doubt, I will say on the record right here and now that BitClout/DeSo has been fully-decentralized from approximately late 2020. To say I thought anything else would not only be wrong, it would contradict actual hard fact. 4) This was some hard stuff. A lot of things about what I went through were hard. One day I will tell the whole story and I think it will be quite interesting for people to hear-- but not today. I don't want to come off as arrogant or hyperbolic, but I feel I have to give my honest assessment and say that I'm pretty sure something like this would have broken most people. There is something "life or death" about a crisis like this that I feel few working in traditional companies have ever really dealt with, even at the highest levels. At minimum, it would break their team and make it hard to continue to operate normally... This being said, I'm proud to say that our team remained solidly intact, and we even successfully launched two major products through all the noise: Openfund and Focus (which you should try, by the way), as well as a major network upgrade to Proof of Stake. I always knew that I hadn't done anything wrong and that it would all get resolved. But everyone around me did as well, including my team. That belief, combined with the absolutely heroic support of my friends and family, made it manageable without too much stress. And of course, it doesn't hurt that I believe DeSo is one of the most important things I can be doing for the world, and worth fighting to the death for. Lastly, I have to mention that if it weren't for all of the efforts of others in our industry, especially @brian_armstrong and his work with Coinbase, I'm not sure crypto would be where it is today, and I'm not sure we would have gotten such a swift dismissal of my case. === In the short-term, I've got big plans for DeSo, Focus, Openfund, and HeroSwap (my team's core products). Every single one is best-in-class at what it does and a potential billion-dollar business on its own. Now that I'm able to operate at full capacity, free from stifling constraints, and with my reputation and network restored, I'm confident we'll realize that potential. Now, let's get back to work.

Erdogan arrested his presidential election opponent. No words from Musk, Vance, and their gang of idiots. Nothing. Why? :)

The people of Türkiye 🇹🇷 do not want Erdogan’s Muslim Brotherhood that has hijacked their nation.

Erdogan is a dictator

BREAKING: The Turkish police are arresting peaceful anti-Erdogan protestors. Erdogan’s thugs are brutalizing the Turkish people. Where are the international condemnations? Why isn’t the media reporting on these grave injustices?

Thousand of protesters took to the streets in Turkey last night to protest the arrest of Ekrem İmamoğlu, the mayor of Istanbul and Turkish president Erdogan's main rival. Love to see it!

GEZİ’de mesele nasıl sadece ağaçlar değildiyse, doğrudan Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’a karşı Türkiye çapında başlatılan bu ikinci büyük isyan dalgasında da mesele sadece Ekrem İmamoğlu’nun diplomasının iptali veya 90 kişiyle birlikte göz altına alınması değildir. Mesele sistem haline getirilmiş adaletsizliktir, hukukun araçsallaştırılması, biat etmeyene düşman hukuku uygulanması, kuralsızlık, yolsuzluk, kayırmacılık, nepotizm, zorbalık, keyfilik ve hesap vermezliktir. Mesele öğrencisinden emeklisine, işçisinden memuruna halk açlık, yoksulluk, fakirlik, sağlıksız beslenme ve sağlıksız yaşam koşulları, işsizlik, çaresizlik ve kendisi ve ailesi için devasa bir gelecek kaygısı içinde perişan halde hayatta kalmaya çalışırken, iktidar mensuplarının ve yandaşlarının aşırı zenginleşmesi, çakarlı araçlar ve korumalarla, kaynağı belirsiz paralarla ultra lüks hayatlar yaşamalarıdır. Mesele ehliyetsizlikten, liyakatsizlikten, denetimsizlikten Soma’da madende, Çorlu’da trende, Bozkurt’ta selde, Kartalkaya’da tatilde bir tek kişinin bile ölmemesi gereken yerlerde yüzlerce insanımızın ölmesidir. Mesele durdurulamayan kadın cinayetleridir, iş kazalarında �’dan fazlası önlenebilir sebeplerle meydana gelen ölümlerdir. Mesele 6 Şubat depremlerinde, dışarı kaçabilmiş insanlar sokakta dehşet içinde kar, kış, yağmur, çamur altında, eksi derecelerde hayatta kalmaya çalışırken, 140 yıllık şanlı Kızılay’ın başkanının, depolarında bir alıcı çıkana kadar beklettiği çadırları satmasıdır, enkaz altında kurtarılmayı bekleyen insanlarımızın, başında Türk Silahlı Kuvvetleri’nin olduğu işe yaradığı tecrübeyle sabit afetlerle mücadele sistemimiz yok edildiği için pisi pisine ölmesidir. Mesele dinciliktir, Allah ile aldatmak, Kuran ile aldatmak, yaşam tarzı dayatması, özgürlüklerin kısıtlanması, çocukların zorla imam hatiplere yollanması, Türkiye’nin Araplaştırılması, camiye de, kışlaya da, her yere de siyasetin sokulmasıdır. Mesele emperyalizmin Türk’e en büyük tuzağı, Ilımlı İslam diye hayatımıza soktuğu ve iktidar güçlendikçe Radikal İslam’a dönüşen Siyasal (CIA’SAL) İslam’dır ve onun iktidardaki elemanlarıdır. Mesele bölücülüktür, bebek katili terör örgütünü muhatap almak, pazarlık etmek, 50.000 kişinin katili, ağırlaştırılmış müebbet cezasını çeken Teröristbaşı’nı TBMM’nde konuşturmaya çalışmak, Anayasa’nın değiştirilemez ve değiştirilmesi teklif dahi edilemez ilk 4 maddesine saldırmak, Anayasa’dan Türk’ü çıkarmaya çalışmak, Türk milletini var eden 30 küsur etnisiteden sadece birinin dili olan Kürtçeyi resmi dil yapmaya çalışmak, hepimizi bu ülkenin eşit, özgür ve egemen sahibi kılan Türk milleti tanımını ırkçılaştırmaktır. Mesele bedeli Atalarımızın kanlarıyla ödenmiş büyük Türk milletinin biricik vatanına milyonlarca ne idüğü belirsiz Suriyelinin, Arap’ın, Afgan’ın, Pakistanlının, Afrikalının, bilmem nerelinin ortak edilmesi, yüz binlercesine yasa dışı Türkiye Cumhuriyeti vatandaşlığı verilmesidir. Mesele Hudut Namustur diyerek binlerce şehit vermişken, kevgire döndürülen sınırlarımızdan önüne gelenin vatanımıza sokuşturulmasıdır, Ege’deki 20 Adamızın ve 2 Kayalığımızın Yunanistan’a terk edilmesi, diğer Yunan Adalarıyla birlikte bize karşı yasa dışı silahlandırılmasına göz yumulması ve egemenlik haklarımızdan tavizler verilmesidir. Mesele madenlerimizin, ormanlarımızın, zeytinliklerimizin, SİT alanlarımızın, kıyılarımızın, doğal güzelliklerimizin ve her şeyimizin yağmalanmasıdır. Mesele bütün sınav sorularının çalınması ve yandaşlara dağıtılmasıdır, Hakimlik Sınavında biri rekor kırarak iki kere birinci, bir kere sekizinci olan adayın her mülakatta ısrarla elenmesidir, mülakatı kaldıracağız sözü verdikleri halde asla yapmamalarıdır, Türk milletini cahil bırakmak için milli eğitimin sistematik olarak niteliksizleştirilmesidir. Mesele Büyük Kurtarıcı ve Büyük Kurucu Atatürk’e düşmanlıktır, Cumhuriyet’e ve Cumhuriyet’in kazanımlarına düşmanlık, laikliğe düşmanlık, çağdaş dünyanın değerlerine düşmanlıktır. Mesele hak temelli yaşam anlayışına karşıtlıktır, insan haklarına, kadın haklarına, çocuk haklarına, insanların farklı yaşam tarzlarına, hayvan haklarına, doğa koruma yasalarına, düşünce ve ifade özgürlüğüne karşıtlıktır. Mesele iktidarın 23 yıllık çok ağır bilançosunun ve iktidarda kaldıkları her günün, Türk milletinin yaşam kalitesini daha fazla mahvetmesi ve Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin bekasını ve güvenliğini çok daha fazla tehdit etmesidir. Mesele bu harika ve bereketli ülkede, muhteşem coğrafyada harika insanlarla birlikte hepimizin ortak geleceğidir. Hiçbir tek adamın hezeyanlarına ve sayesinde, oligarklaşanından kendi küçük çıkarlarının peşinde koşan vatan, millet sevgisinden yoksun yandaşlarına feda edilemez.
