Recap of Discussion Initiated By Nouriel Roubini in October 2018

Back in October 2018, Nouriel Roubini, the CEO of Roubini Macro Associates, initiated a discussion that prompted Vitalik Buterin, the 27-year-old co-founder of Ethereum (ETH), to reveal the address that holds his largest Ethereum holdings.

In the thread of tweets, Roubini accused Buterin of making himself a billionaire through a pre-mining sale he tagged as a scam and criminal, which brought about the creation of Ethereum (ETH).

Nouriel Roubini tweeted, “Vitalik Buterin was the ring-leader – together with Joe Lubin – of the criminal pre-mining sale/scam that created Ether. They stole 75% of the Ether supply and became instant “billionaires” of fake wealth.”

In response to Roubini’s accusation, Buterin stated that the claim is just a mere fabrication. He said he has nothing close to 0.9% of all ETH in circulation and his net worth is far from $1 billion.

Vitalik Buterin wrote, “I never personally held more than ~0.9% of all ETH, and my net worth never came close to $1b. Also, I’m pretty sure there are no criminal laws against pre-mining.”
