Prior rug/exit-scam affiliation
crvUSD (Curve Stablecoin)'s assessment for RD-F-115 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No team member linked to a prior rugged or exit-scam-labeled protocol via OSINT. VC fraud lawsuit (ParaFi, Framework Ventures, 1kx vs Egorov) was dismissed on California jurisdiction grounds by the Court of Appeal in February 2025; the court did not adjudicate fraud on the merits. A Swiss civil proceeding is ongoing but has no adverse ruling as of 2026-05-16. This does not constitute rug-affiliation under the factor definition which requires a verified prior rug or exit-scam-labeled protocol.
