How Ethereum Is Involved
The issue regarding the ConsenSys audit directly involved key pillars of the Ethereum ecosystem, such as MetaMask and Infura.
According to PRNewswire that reported the full story, a group of 35 former employees representing over 50% of all known ConsenSys AG (CAG) shareholders, filed a request for a special audit in relation to an August 2020 transfer of assets between ConSensys AG and ConSensys Software Inc.
As alleged by the group, multiple assets were mispriced during the transaction as key assets, including MetaMask, were valued as low as $4.4 million. The banking giant JPMorgan also acquired a 10% share in ConsenSys software as part of the agreement.

Meanwhile, Cardano creator, Charles Hoskinson had said that his software firm, Input Output Global (IOG), has no secrets when asked to comment on the Theranos scandal.
Hoskinson noted:
”Anyone in the world can fork Cardano… Anyone in the world can take our paper and implement our papers as has been done by Mina Protocol and Polkadot for some of our papers… There are no restrictions. If you are a scam, you don’t let people see what’s behind the curtain because there’s nothing there. It’s just that simple.”
