CertiK delists g8keep after founder threatens legal action
Crypto auditing firm CertiK has delisted startup g8keep from its site after the company’s co-founder Harrison Leggio accused CertiK of a “malicious and targeted attack” and threatened legal action. Leggio — known as Pop Punk on X (formerly Twitter) — complained about the listing on Wednesday, asking CertiK to remove the project from its “garbage platform.” He claims that CertiK gave g8keep a low security score because “we didn’t work with your fraudulent and malicious company.” He added, “I’ll hand my money directly to Kim Jong Un before I work with you.” CertiK listed g8keep on August 28, 2024, giving it a security score of 47.92 out of 100 . The listing notes that CertiK hasn’t audited the firm, that no third party has audited its code, and that there are no audits available. Screenshot of CertiK’s listing of g8keep taken by Leggio.
