What do we know about Sean Kirtz from public filings and forums

Exactly, that’s a good way to frame it. In areas with little regulation, trust often hinges on reputation and what people hear from others. Independent verification like audits or external assessments can really anchor expectations and help separate hype from what’s actually happening behind the scenes.

trust becomes almost as important as the technology itself in unregulated spaces. Without audits or independent reviews, it’s easy for hype and perception to overshadow reality. Investors end up relying on reputation, word of mouth, or surface-level metrics, which can be misleading

I read about the court case too. The $405,000 settlement and attorney fees seem pretty concrete. I think it shows that some of the claims weren’t just rumors, there was real legal accountability, at least in that instance.

Even without implying guilt beyond the case, it signals that investors’ concerns had enough substance to result in legal consequences, which is something anyone following these ventures should take note of when evaluating risk.
