A controversial proposal to reissue 70 billion CRO tokens by Crypto.com sparked dissatisfaction among holders and led to a 10% drop in CRO prices.
Concerns are rising about potential scams within Crypto.com and CEO Kris Marszalek's track record, including his involvement in the collapse of Ensogo.
Marszalek's history at Ensogo, an e-commerce platform that shut down in 2016, is marked by allegations of fraud and questionable business practices.
Crypto.com, formerly Monaco, raised $26 million in an ICO after Ensogo's collapse and rebranded to introduce the CRO token.
The proposal to unburn 70 billion CRO tokens by Crypto.com and Cronos Labs has led to backlash from the community and raised doubts about the exchange's solvency.
Critics argue that reissuing the 70 billion CRO tokens could depress prices and benefit the exchange while risking the trust of CRO holders.
Concerns about Crypto.com's financial health are exacerbated by the lack of recent audits and the decision to mint additional CRO tokens.
If Crypto.com were to collapse, CRO holders would face significant losses, prompting regulators to scrutinize the crypto space.
Lessons from Marszalek's past suggest caution for CRO holders amidst signs of potential insolvency and dilution of holdings within Crypto.com.
The controversy surrounding the CRO token reissuance and concerns about Crypto.com's financial stability have raised questions about the exchange's future.
