Hoskinson defends 1,096 BTC payment tied to 2016 Isle of Man entity as critics seek documentation

Charles Hoskinson is defending a 1,096 BTC allocation from Cardano’s early foundation structure, which he says funded a legitimate audit of the original ADA crowdsale. The amount was worth roughly $454,000 when moved in March 2016 and about $70 million at current prices. Critics argue the issue is the lack of a public paper trail for the payment and want supporting records.
