According to @zachxbt, projects associated with JP previously failed to conduct proper due diligence, leading to the accidental hiring of DPRK IT workers as developers. This issue remained undisclosed until highlighted by @zachxbt. The current discussion revolves around Asgardex's practice of retaining fees, raising concerns about transparency and operational integrity.

According to @zachxbt, Asgardex contributors have refused to return approximately $900K in fees profited from the Bybit hack attributed to DPRK. This decision contrasts with other teams that chose to return the fees. The refusal underscores a commitment to maintaining Thorchain's decentralized nature without censoring activities.
