This disclosure triggered angry responses from some members of the community, the the the the the pretty quickly leading to the # DeleteCoinbase movement. In the end, Coinbase crumpled under pressure and announced that they would be splitting up from Neutrino staff which has links with the Hacking Team.

According to the agreement, Neutrino would “continue to operate as a standalone business based out of [Coinbase’s] London office.” This implies that CTO Alberto Ornaghi, CRO Marco Valleri and CEO Giancarlo Russo were initially slated to remain as executives until the golden handshake.

Each of the aforesaid executives held 22% of the new company’s shares— in capital structure of $5,650 per share (€ 5,000). With registration in Paris, 360 Capital, the French-Italian venture capital company invested $565 thousand (€500 thousand) in the venture in April 2017 and held another 33% of shares, valued at $8,500 (€7500), respectively.

The acquisition conract indicates that Coinbase accepted to purchase “the units of the respective total ownership representing the entire share capital of the Company.”

In proportion to the Neutrino shares, Ornaghi, Russo and Valleri will each be awarded $2,951,792.91 (€ 2,608,916.11) from takeover, and 360 Capitals will be awarded $4,993,401.86 (€ 4,413,374.16). The notary of the acquisition paid every manager $487,045 (€ 430,471) and 360 capital $4,055,107 (€ 3,584,071) on the day of signing the contract.

The remainder of 8,332,534 dollars (€ 7,364,637) was reassigned to the trust accounts held at Credit Suisse by the compan, even though there is no clarity regarding the payment of remaining capital to the erstwhile shareholders.
