Adding to the distress, Drakon claimed there’s evidence suggesting someone from Revelo Ventures might have been involved or provided information to the attackers. However, he has chosen not to disclose more details to avoid compromising the ongoing investigation and to protect his family.

Drakon, said, “The vast majority of stolen funds belonged to me personally. There is some evidence to suggest that someone in the Ventures syndicate is either part of the group, or passing information onto them.”

Former COO Vu Benson will now lead Revelo Intel.

Drakon has relinquished his interest in the company and pledged that 30% of Revelo’s profits will go to affected members. He apologized for the mistakes that made him a target and is focused on aiding law enforcement and facilitating the recovery of stolen funds.Revelo Intel CEO Resigns After Gunpoint Crypto Robbery
