CRIPCO linked to MINI issuance despite claims projects were unrelated

CRIPCO, which is facing rug-pull allegations, was identified as the initial issuer and developer of Mini Coin (MINI), Bloomberg Bit reported. A previous white paper linked through the European Securities and Markets Authority registry listed CRIPCO as MINI’s issuer and the platform’s lead developer, conflicting with earlier claims by MINI backer GLLUE that the two projects were unrelated. After the controversy emerged, the white paper was replaced with a version that removed references to CRIPCO, but the latest ESMA registry still lists CRIPCO as the party that submitted the white paper.
