"Continues to share false information about me & Ethos"

Recently, Kook has made claims about Ethos offering him a "KOL deal" where I offered "to pay him a lot" to support the platform. Tweet: https://x.com/kookcapitalllc/status/1938675535133188122 > they are scammers > founder tried to pay me a lot to support this platform > long story but i of course said no given what i know about the teams intentions and history This is a completely baseless accusation and lie. I did not try to pay him, I did not ask him to support the platform. He never even said no. 1. Ethos markets was early, and I wanted to test out how it would work with someone who might get a lot of distrust. Only users that we approved were able to set up their own Markets. I reached out to BreadGuy as an introduction to Kook. I felt like Kook was someone who knows the archetype he plays and would be interested in participating, even if people bought his distrust. 2. I got introduced to Kook through Bread on Jan 31, and explained to him how ethos markets works. **The terms of Ethos.markets are exactly what EVERY user gets on Ethos.markets, and this has never changed.** Users who participate get 1% of all buy transactions on their market. **This is nothing unusual or unique to Kook, we did not offer him anything** We did not offer him any type of deal, we did not have any conversation outside of this one. 3. Kook says it sounds good, Bread pitched on how to set it up, he never replied. I asked if he was still interested on Feb 3 and he did not reply after that. 4. 3 weeks later, Kook requested that we remove his profile from Ethos under protection of GDPR (and right to be forgotten), which we denied. He continues to claim things like "founder of this platform tried to get me on a kol deal pre-launch" https://x.com/kookcapitalllc/status/1942180557368025300 and this is what forced my hand in leaving this review. He also grave danced on us the second Ethos got suspended, spreading misinformation about why and dming me personally with racist insults. I HATE that I am even replying to this because that's the whole theatre he wants - but I refuse to let people continue to share false information about us, particularly that which could damage our business. Last note: I will not post DMs between a private convo. If Kook wants to share them, I'd encourage him to - as it will only prove the point further.

Always known this guy for spreading baseless hate on certain web3 projects. Maybe he indeed wanted a payment from Ethos lol

Kook is probably a terrible person. Inviting terrible people to promote your platform is not a good look. Neither is making baseless accusations, claiming to have proof, and not sharing it. Either make the claim and back it up or don't. Furthermore, using your own platform to leave reviews and start witch hunts should be condemned, but it shows me that you need all of the artificially generated rep you can get. Clear conflict of interest.
Can scores go negative? Cause Kooks should.
Lmao, just check his X profile, cant remember when i blocked him 🤣 Seem i have right decision!

it was a mistake to engage with him in the first place and drags breadguy down to kook's level, which is one of the top 10 worst actors in the crypto space I have ever seen in my 12 years here

Iv seen him promote multiple low effort rugs, so not surprising at all he would act this way.
