DWF Labs, a crypto trading firm, said it fired one of its partners following social media allegations that one of its employees had spiked a woman's drink at a bar in Hong Kong.
In a press release, the company said it dismissed a partner from "management and operational roles effective immediately" and called the allegations "deeply concerning."
The company, which said it's investigating the matter, did not name the partner. A representative for DWF referred CoinDesk to the press release.
I never thought I’d personally experience something like this. On the evening of 24 October, I was drugged by a partner at @DWFLabs at a bar in HK. I have reported this to the local police and have collected video evidence of him spiking my drink. pic.twitter.com/mCQpaxB6DH

Earlier Tuesday, X account @hananotsorry posted that on 24 October a partner at DWF drugged her at a bar — and was caught on camera doing it. The post did not name the person but said police had been contacted.
