Staff members, who were also supposed to receive a portion of their salary in Chiliz, weren’t so lucky, Dreyfus allegedly failed to pay some of his advisors an agreed-upon share of Chiliz in exchange for endorsing the cryptocurrency. An unnamed tech executive toldthat he only got “some portion of what was promised,” and claims Dreyfus started “avoiding all communications with the advisors” in September 2020.indicates Dreyfus didn’t want the value of Chiliz to tank.
“We regret that some advisers that have worked with us in the past were not paid in a timely manner and we have rectified this with them directly and maintain good relationships today,” a Chiliz spokesperson told. “The agreements were made when the company was pre-start up and at that time we were not able to award CHZ directly as it wasn’t listed on any exchanges.
Staff members, who were also supposed to receive a portion of their salary in Chiliz, weren’t so lucky. When the value of Chiliz skyrocketed, one employee claims they were unable to cash in on the $10 million allegedly owed by Dreyfus.
