The launch of ZKasino, a new decentralized gambling platform, has sparked widespread controversy and allegations of fraud. Over the weekend, the platform went live and immediately faced backlash for redirecting $33 million in Ether, which was initially promised to investors for redemption at launch, to Lido Finance without investor consent. This move led to accusations of an exit scam, particularly after the official Telegram channel of ZKasino was deleted and the founder reportedly vanished. Various entities, including Big Brain and BlackDragon_io, have distanced themselves from ZKasino, citing previous concerns during their due diligence processes. The situation has escalated with investors and observers labeling the incident as one of the most blatant crypto exit scams of the year. Hundreds have taken to social media to allege that the project was a scam, and the $30 million in Ether is still staked in Lido, earning yield.
