IOTA Foundation Seriously Disrupted

The IOTA Foundation has been going to some serious turmoil in recent weeks, as was revealed by a leaked transcript of a discussion between the Foundation’s Board of Directors and the founders. According to the transcript, the two founders of the German registered non-profit, Serguei Popov and Sergey Ivancheglo, were not given access to the Foundation’s Board of Directors.

The two founders had been waiting for the last four months to be given the promised seats on the Foundation’s Board.
