JUST IN: Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr urges Blockstream CEO & Bitcoin developer Adam Back to resign amid recently released Epstein emails showing Epstein’s involvement in Blockstream’s seed funding and Back’s links to travel related to Epstein’s infamous island.
Dashjr says this helps explain years of Back’s hostility, lies, and deception, and calls for him to apologize to developers, investors, and the Bitcoin community.
