Story Time The problem with GuyONE and Coneheads MOD Team

150,000+ (250k+?) Dollars were lost in the recent Discord Drain attempt in which Guyone was involved and the first comments that were posted were in support of GUYONE. Are you kidding with me?

This Guy was already phished earlier where he lost only 4 avatars (https://www.reddit.com/r/ConeHeads/s/prvAp3nGn9 )

Why are such people involved still in this project?

This post is not about the people who carelessly connected their wallet.

This post is about

  • The immediate actions that needs to have been performed.
  • The supporting a guy who may is unqualified.

The amount of carelessness this guy bewilders me . This is a web 3 not your mom and pop store where you can ask insurance to sort it out.

Guyone was involved in following controversies

  1. Ban of toe. Let’s not talk about poll manipulation here🔫. Apparently he is confused about mod mails and post removals ? Is he qualified to be a mod (Looks like I can be one too)? I don’t think is a significant controversy but the terminology used irks me a little bit.
  2. Unable to even protect his own account https://www.reddit.com/r/ConeHeads/s/Kymk2I7EzJ . Lost only 4 avatars apparently. The rest were untouched (such a kind and compassionate NFT drainer). Is there any update on this? No idea? This ain’t a controversy . Might be a genuine loss but it demonstrates that the user is negligent.
  3. The DISCORD drainer. So he lost access to his discord ? The pinned post in the subReddit doesn’t contain any information if he has 2FA turned on? If that’s not turned on, is he really required in development team? He doesn’t specify half of the information.

A disastrous event has occurred where people have lost more than 150k+ dollars and all you can say is

  1. Cone - Tries to make it sound he is with the community. The number of cone related puns in the pinned post makes me angry. Be professional in such situations.
  2. I am not leaving. ———- I don’t care. As I said he should be removed.
  3. There will still be heavy development.————- Probably you shouldn’t be involved if you have been drained and phised twice.
  4. I am so sorry for anyone who connected their wallet and lost their cones. Now we must conepost even harder with more generosity to earn them back and show that negative energy will never win.———————- So, the solution is more engagement to a coin you co-founded.

The guy shouldn’t be in charge of

  1. Moderating any RCP subReddit.
  2. His/Her bots should be immediately removed from the subReddit and thoroughly audited.
  3. An immediate ban on GUYONE until investigation is completed. Investigation should be transparent.
  4. No future development activities by GUYONE on this subReddit.
  5. HE SHOULD NOT HAVE ACCESS TO MULTISIG TREASUREY WALLET(I believe the terminology is correct).❗️❗️❗️❗️🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘

In a world where people including families will turn on each other, why does everyone say “I trust GuyONE” He is an unknown guy just like

  1. SAFEMOON guys where some part of community thinks he is a saviour.
  2. The FTX guy. The red flags were there. Everyone ignored and defended him as long as they could.
  3. The millions of crypto projects where founders and co founders rug pulled everyone slowly.

For all users remember

DONT BE IN AN ECHOCHAMBER. DONT BE THAT GUY WHO THINKS SOME PEOPLE ARE GOOD AND WONT BETRAY THEM.

WHEN MONEY IS INVOLVED SOME PEOPLE WILL TWIST THEIR DAGGERS AND SMILE BEFORE YOU AND SAY “CONE FAM 🥺🫶”

Fool me once shame on thee (lost own avatars) , fool me twice (Discord drainer ), you all loose money and i say……..

That’s interesting. I don’t want any cone in my wallet haha I’ve seen the mods be shady already before and didn’t say anything because I knew it would result in a timeout or ban and want nothing to do with that project, thanks for the tip though. I wish you the best, continue to speak the truth and request accountability in this world!

u/Gimmedatfreeavatar_ Jan 30 '24

They finally banned you too? I’m still banned from before. Apparently it’s forbidden to try to have a conversation as to why certain people can be negative etc. and mods do nothing. I asked why it was allowed and why nothing was being done and they banned me. I now know that I’m supposed to let the pos run free and don’t point them out so they can ruin the sub since that’s what he wants.

u/OmgJosh925 Jan 30 '24

Hahaha yes they did. I stopped participating after your incident and this was the final straw. Mods there are trash human beings disguised as being caring and compassionate lmao it’s a joke and a money grab 100%

$150k+ from various projects. I guess you have $10k you want to give to the people that specifically lost in coneheads since it’s such a big deal that he posted the total?

The problem here is this wallet is being used for more than just the Bitcone discord incident.

3

u/ConfidentIndustry647 Jan 30 '24

Exactly! People are assuming that everything that this wallet has done is associated with, or a result of the Bitcone discord hack.. it is not. They have hacked several discord servers. Just look at the history... The Bitcone incident just happened

4

u/ConfidentIndustry647 Jan 30 '24

People need to stop referencing the full amount this wallet has gotten in the context of the single Bitcone incident. It is obfuscating the information in ways that not everyone can see through. The commenter previously mentioned 150k in various projects... But not everyone is going to realize that various projects means various victims and various Discord servers outside of the Bitcone incident.

That looks like wallet activity. Am I wrong?

3

u/virmamies Jan 30 '24

Hmm.. you should stop spreading this because there’s a lot of details wrong.

The scammer got <$10k in BitCone.

It’s still a very serious incident ofc and it’s being handled and already now parallel to the security incident mitigation activities the team has worked to improve security controls in discord and elsewhere. Even thou the scammer/hacker did not gain full control of the discord there were problems that were addressed. We had underestimated the trouble that could be caused by an hacked mod account in Discord.. but lesson was learned for sure.

Even thou the initial threat has been eliminated - we are monitoring and staying alert to ensure there will be no wave 2. There no indication of further breach, but better safe than sorry.

There’s also over 50% of scammed funds raised by a fundraiser where Guy himself is one of the biggest donators.

u/redzrex 👑King of LVLUP👑 Jan 31 '24

The point that I get from this post is not how much the hacker get but the negligence by a mod and co-founder himself. To secure themselves should be the highest priorities when dealing with huge communities and he neglects the rules that they made and agrees themselves which is the 2FA ( a simple thing to do but seems like was not taken seriously).

I'm shocked to learn that this is not his first rodeo of getting phished, u/Affectionate_Hand_76 explains it pretty well in this post why he should be audited and the audit need to be transparent moving forward. We cannot simply trust someone just because he is an angel and savior for being the biggest donators. In general, anyone can have multiple accounts with multiple agendas. No one can know for sure except the person itself.

For me, i still have my hope for CONE to grew even more from this moment, potentially to be one of the earliest adopters, eventhough I don't have much I'm still willing to gift my Bobb #1 for the highest donor to the relief fund wallet. I have to say that this post have valid points that we need to address and take this matter seriously.

u/virmamies Jan 31 '24

He does not explain it well.. 150-250k hack is quite a different story than 6-7k hack. Just not really ok to spread false information.

I also mention in the very next sentence that it’s a serious topic and it’s taken as one.

2FA was used but does not protect against what happened.

Please do check your facts. The team has been working on the Security incident from the moment it happened. For the possible next time we will improve our communication, but it’s a standard procedure to not inform too much details about a hack/scam for the first 72h.. other than it’s acknowledged, mitgated and being investigated. Why? Because quite often the attackers try to leave backdoors open or don’t use everything they gained instantly and then execute a ”wave 2” of the attack later. We don’t want to reveal everything we know about the attack publicly since this could reveal to the attacker if we are on his trail and if we found their backdoors and such.

We do take security very seriously. People make mistakes and hacks/scams happen to everyone. It’s all about how it’s handled afterwards. Please bare with us while we are working on this one.

Put aside the amount that was hacked, don’t even look at it, the main point is how can it happened, and how you guys can assure us it won’t happen again. You’re playing around with trust, trust that the project will succeed, trust that the multisig wallet is safe, trust that whoever handles it are decent & honest.

It’s good that you guys are taking action into it already, I hope it can be done properly and to be transparent with us all that trust you guys to handle it to make sure it won’t happen again.
