Cardano’s Hoskinson Fires Back at ADA Misuse Allegations—Legal Showdown Looms
Charles Hoskinson slams ’baseless’ claims of fund mismanagement as lawyers circle the embattled project. The Cardano founder took to social media with receipts—but will investors buy the explanation?
Behind the drama: ADA’s price struggles while ’experts’ debate whether this is FUD or a legitimate red flag. Meanwhile, traditional finance bros chuckle into their lattes—another day, another crypto controversy.

In response, Hoskinson issued a statement refuting the allegations as entirely false. He explained that the affected tokens were part of a redemption process tied to Cardano’s Token Generation Event (TGE) and were inaccessible to users after the fork. He added that 99.8% of the tokens sold during the ICO have since been claimed by original investors, while the remaining 0.2% were eventually allocated to fund Intersect.
Hoskinson has also indicated that legal action is being considered against individuals repeating these claims, warning that defamation suits may follow once the project’s final redemption report is made public.
As the debate unfolds, Cardano’s leadership has opted not to issue further comments until formal documentation is released.
