He’s not 100% responsible. When you are only a part of a criminal conspiracy we call that being a “co-conspirator”. Generally you are punished according to the law with equal weight to the actual perpetrators, even though you may have only been a small part of it, you still planned to commit fraud. Odell committed fraud against depositors, and fraud against the public by using OpenSats to enrich his Ten31 portfolio. He deserves to be judged negatively for being a fraud, even though it was NVK that is the chief proximate cause of the loss of funds, he is still morally responsible.

Compounding the fraud is that he is still doing the exact same thing, and engaging the same conflict of interests. Now he is out promoting Bitkey. Bitkey has insane risks attached to biometrics and inheritance. Why is he promoting it? Because he is personally financially connected to the founders of Block. If he were acting in people’s best interests he would be recommending Trezor, but instead he is recommending yet another risky “innovative” wallet because he is financially connected to the people responsible. He repeats the same corrupt behavior endlessly. He’s a piece of shit scammer. It isn't just this incident either, he lost a million fucking dollars on the Samourai deal. A million dollars was raised for a fucking plea deal. A federal criminal plea deal costs maybe 30k, potentially slightly more. He burned roughly 950k out of incompetence or corruption. We don’t get an accountancy of the funds, so it’s hard to tell which. He also grifted all of Jack Dorsey’s money earmarked for Nostr into Primal, which is not a Nostr client at all. It’s a centralized service that happens to publish data to Nostr, but when you read notes on Primal it reads from their “caching service” exclusively, and does not use the Nostr protocol at all for reading data. They have been caught red-handed using this centralized server for censorship. He also similarly supports Spark projects. All Spark traffic goes through a single centralized server which gives them the power of surveillance and censorship. Sound familiar? This is what Odell does repeatedly: fund shitty censorware and surveillanceware and lose a ton of people’s money. He’s a corrupt, scheming piece of shit and you are a fucking cuckold pay pig that needs to break out of the Stockholm syndrome that your parasocial relationship has put you into.
