Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), “I have received the first draft of the audit report,” adding that he “requested more details and background explanations” for some items.

The allegations centered on Hoskinson's unauthorized transfer of 318 million ADA from reserves to other pools using “genesis keys.” Genesis keys are private keys that have the authority to transfer tokens or change network settings on the network.
