AADAO Oversight Special Report: GM Misconduct/Mismanagement

Yes sorry for Patricia and the other AADAO members. Youssef wasn’t expecting that his selected employees will open the mouth and when they finally did for some reason he became very aggresive as seen in that audio for example. From the very first moment the idea of the ‘ATOM grants program’ appeared on the Cosmos Hub forum written by Youssef and another co-founder @Better_Future with apparently a great resume we immediately saw many red flags and tried to warn the community, we are talking December 2022. We were heavily critized and the community supported the proposal and the AADAO started. We continued to see many red flags about the projects funded, including huge easy funding for Cosmoverse (and cryptocito videos) where Youssef presented himself very happy in photos with Cito. In the renewal we tried again to warn the community and at least given our pressure Youssef accepted to open some positions to apply rather than handpick all AADAO members. Ultimately what we were warning about for 2 years finally came to light and now there is this huge mess in Cosmos because of the AADAO with projects cancelling plans to join AEZ because of this situation. Not to mention all the crazy amount of ATOM from the community pool wasted in many projects friends&family of Youssef that brought no value to Cosmos and now challenging to recover these ATOM. I hope that now the community learnt and we got a bit more trust when we see red flags about some initiatives and inform the community repeatedly. Remember also that Youssef was in the ATOM 2.0 whitepaper and one of its strongest proponents and when his ATOM 2.0 plan didn’t work he then launched the AADAO, maybe if ATOM 2.0 had launched it would had been even more difficult to discover the misconduct, we also warned about the ATOM 2.0 whitepaper and contributed to the failing of that governance proposal via our alarming and twitter threads (ironically @Cosmos_Nanny also had a major role in ATOM 2.0 failing while still at AiB :sweat_smile: :handshake: and unknowingly with our pressure to Youssef to open positions for the AADAO we helped bring Grace inside the AADAO. Cosmic and Grace defending and protecting the Cosmos :atom_symbol: :crossed_swords:). Also, the control of the OFFICIAL COSMOS HUB TWITTER was given to the AADAO who refused to share any of our videos or content since they took control and despite our requests the AADAO refused to provide clear reasons or a criteria to share content, while only the COSMOS account was kept in control of the ICF… :man_facepalming: Seems a lot of naiveness in the Cosmos ecosystem, what us and a few others realized instantly, it took most others 2 years to realize. Like always, like the Roman Empire, the AADAO fell because of internal conflicts
