[Aleo community sends an open letter on "whether "a16z's lawsuit against Aleo's original team is true"] On November 7, the Aleo Chinese community sent an "open letter on the Aleo project" to a16z, questioning whether "a16z filed a lawsuit against Aleo's original team in a US court" is true. 1. Curious about a16z's original intention to invest in Aleo, can a16z share its vision and key reasons for supporting Aleo? 2. There have been changes in the leadership of Aleo Network, and Howard Wu was replaced by Alex Purden, who has an a16z background, which has aroused community doubts. Whether this change is consistent with the long-term goals and strategies of Aleo Network; 3. Rumors that "a16z and other venture capital companies have filed legal proceedings against the original Aleo team in a US court" are spreading, and the community is deeply concerned about whether the above rumors are true. Note: In April 2021, Aleo received $28 million in financing, led by a16z; in February 2022, Aleo completed a $200 million Series B financing, led by SoftBank and Kora Management. After the mainnet was launched on September 18, 2024, Aleo failed to gain community recognition, but was instead filled with doubts on social media, especially from miners. Many users said on social media that this was another failed case of a king turning into a "failed king".
