In the current situation, the CEO seems to be disconnected from reality.
He doesn’t listen to the community and the proposals of influential CEO of others blockchains or Exchanges which have a lot of experience in crypto and can give him advices to make something concrete and benefit the whole community.
I think that we have a CEO with a big EGO problem and he doesn’t assume to be in difficulties.
This is very easy to think to be a leader when everything goes well, but in fact, you cannot decide to be a leader or a loser, that’s people who decide and judge you based on your actions.
It’s time to make decisions in the interest of the project/community.
When a CEO doesn’t take this kind of decision, he is replaced by the board or decides to leave because he realizes that he is not the right person to drive the project anymore.
When a CEO makes insane decisions several times, the board replaces him.
I’m pretty sure that he playing with fire, the border between legal and illegal things is very close.
The crypto sphere has already lost trust in him.
The only way to “restore” is to fix issues, and implement burn/buyback tokens mechanisms.
He will never be considered by anybody anymore.
The doors will stay closed. Taking bad decisions in a crucial moment like now will result in a professional/reputation suicide for him, now and for the rest of his life.
He is not responsible for the attack, of course, but so far he has decided to remain in history as the guy who does not make the right decisions, proposes unpopular solutions, who will have lost millions and will not have assumed.
The only question to know what to do is:
Keeping the actual CEO is really the best for the project/community?
If YES, follow him.
If NO, replace him.
