Recently, someone in the community dug up an old photo, bringing back quite a few memories. Looking back, that incident caused quite a stir back then—I’d heard rumors about it and always thought it had been resolved long ago. But judging from today’s response, it seems like the matter is still unresolved?

Here’s what happened: someone borrowed 1,500 BTC at the time, with a promise to return the same amount. At today’s prices, that’s a staggering $135 million. The key point is, the borrower’s company has since gone public, but it seems the debt still hasn’t been settled?

I have to say, some people are now taking the legitimate route and their companies are doing pretty well. Otherwise, according to the old rules of the crypto world, not paying back this kind of debt… tsk tsk, who knows what would happen. Anyway, watching this story unfold is a real eye-opener—the grudges and feuds in the crypto space over the years really make for a thick history book.

Damn, 1,500 BTC? Who is this, so bold? The company is already listed and still dares to keep it on the books. This is ridiculous. Do the old rules of the industry still apply now? Do they really dare not to pay back? The connections in the crypto world are just that complicated. All those things from back in the day are bombs now. Some grudges should just stay buried. If they’re brought up, it won’t look good for anyone. If this debt stays on the books forever, it’s just a joke, isn’t it?

Borrowed 1,500 BTC and still owes debt? Is this for real? They're already listed and still dare to play like this? --- So the promises made back then just get brushed aside? Debts of favors in crypto are the hardest to pay back. --- Wait, is this really true? Why is it only coming out now? Didn't everyone already think the matter was settled? --- $135 million, bro. How can this debt just be left hanging... --- LOL, so this is what they call a "legit team"? Owing money and still being so self-righteous. --- Crypto always keeps its ledger, not a single debt really gets written off. --- Already went public and still dare to do this? That's some guts. --- The key is whether there's a written agreement. Otherwise, it's hard to say who's right. --- This gossip is wild. The grudges in crypto never end. --- By street rules? Please, everyone's playing by the book now. Who still cares about that?

1,500 BTC, damn, that's really insane. Even after going public, they still owe money? --- A typical crypto drama, old scandals are only now being dug up. Truly absurd. --- Speaking of which, by the old street rules, this way of owing money was pretty wild. They probably only dare to do this now that they're part of the establishment. --- $135 million just hanging there—how big-hearted do you have to be to sleep soundly? --- This is exactly why there are always so many messes in crypto—because no one has ever really settled things. --- Gotta admit, this chapter of history is truly weighty. Way more exciting than any gossip, but the price is a bit steep.

1,500 BTC just disappeared—this guy is really bold. --- Listed and still owes money? That’s just how the crypto world is, haha. --- Do the old crypto rules still work these days... hilarious. --- Over $100 million just hanging there, unbelievable. --- What happened to the promise of returning the original amount? It was all in black and white. --- Even the big players have to pay back, you can’t just do things like this. --- So many grudges in crypto, feels like it never ends. --- 1,500 BTC—I wouldn’t be able to sleep if it were me. --- This drama is endless, it’s just too outrageous.

$135 million just hanging there? That's shameless. --- Should have known going public wouldn't change their nature of being in debt. These crypto scandals really never end. --- Borrow 1,500 BTC and still keep partying—if it were me, I’d have been taken down long ago. --- Wow, someone still remembers this? I almost forgot about it. --- Even as a legit company, they still don’t pay back their debts? That’s the real irony. --- The old rules of the game are long gone. Now it’s all about the law—let’s see how they handle it. --- Unbelievable, already listed and still playing the deadbeat game. --- This drama’s been going on for years and still isn’t over—there must really be something fishy. --- The crypto world’s ledger has every debt written down. --- Borrow 1,500 and then go public? I’d love to try that path myself.
