[Exchequer](https://rootstock.blockscout.com/address/0x924f5Ad34698fD20C90fe5d5a8A0ABD3b42dC711?tab=tokens) now sits with a balance of about $200k, most of which is value from SOV tokens (~$125k).

Over 2 months almost $2mm worth of BTC @$85,000 BTC/USD has left Exchequer and into OKEx or Gemini - both platforms widely known for futures trading. After Bitcoin fell in early February (hitting $60k on Feb 5), on Feb 17 @yago announced to the forum the need to take over the FeeSharingCollector contract: [https://forum.sovryn.com/t/staking-update-temporary-adjustment-to-staking-rewards](https://forum.sovryn.com/t/staking-update-temporary-adjustment-to-staking-rewards)

> The recent significant decline in BTC price has materially impacted our operational position and requires a prudent adjustment to ensure the project’s longevity.

I think the community would greatly appreciate an honest response from @Armando or @yago on the details of what happened. An honest response would help stop the speculation and assumptions of bad intentions. We can all understand feeling financially pressured, compounding mistakes, and holding a trade for far too long. Also a comment on how going forward sending the FeeSharingController protocol fees to GovernorVault (a contract controlled by bitocracy) could help mitigate the risks of even the best intentions. Please understand SIP-0088 is crafted specially to address this. The community is hoping we have your support in making more positive decisions going forward.

Thanks all for your support and help in building a stronger community!

Anyone even knew that exchequer was trading on a cex? I mean.. seriously? Yago?

Community also very probably would have helped in finding better market entries to gamble treasury.

(Seems like longing the top on leverage?)

Is that the reason Armando doesn’t know yet how to come up with the loong overdue financial statement? Not much financial anymore.. so it’ll be just statement at least.

This findings of Brianna (thank you so much for your efforts) are drawing a very very dark picture about leadership, exchequer and guardians (if it’s not all the same actors anyways)

Exchanges can effectively be used as mixers. Maybe those funds were just sent to okex so the trail could go cold before they were forwarded to their actual destination. Or maybe just degen futures trading. Goodness me. New lows on the chart, new lows off the chart. Impressive for Sovryn

new lows in lies burying themselfs stacked against overwhelming evidence

if there was nothing to hide, everyday that goes by without having a detailed financial report counts as one more attempt trying to further hide & lie their way out of this (once again, as the many times previously as well)

10 days later.. I think anyone who already was concerned about leavership got their answers quite loud and clear.

Plain and simple fraud. This is a very sad reality to have to face after 5 years as a staker for this project. I really sincerely wish leadership the very best of karma.

Hopefully an investigative journalist will pick this up. We should also reach out to some YouTubers who cover scams like this.
