As a tezos investor, I'm not thrilled about this news. It might spell disaster. But the project appeared to be developing nicely otherwise the last time I checked, and mainstream media FUD should always be taken with a grain of salt ... especially when it may lead some to sell their tokens for bargain-prices to big investors who missed a previous buying opportunity.
I'd rather risk losing money to a project that may be going to hell than risk lining the pockets of some clever wall street type at my future self's expense.
