Multiple KOLs exposed that Kaito team member Wen Yue is suspected of accepting bribes, while the latter denied it and stated that all funds were directly paid to Kaito

ChainCatcher news, recently, several KOLs including Crypto Brave (@cryptobraveHQ) have indicated that Kaito's business head Wen Yue is suspected of accepting bribes. Among them, Crypto Brave stated that Wen Yue charged certain projects excessive listing fees, allegedly collecting about $200,000 in bribes under the guise of a comprehensive fee package, to ensure that the project parties are prioritized for listing on Kaito.

Crypto veteran @SEFATUBA3 stated that Wen Yue asked for a $30,000 bridge fee, which could be given as a whitelist or tokens. In response to the above allegations, Wen Yue (@0xWenMoon) claimed that he has never accepted any bribes. Any payments exceeding $150,000 were for more professional analytical add-on services (such as the KaitoPro platform) or to expedite scheduling (for example, project teams needing to go live on the leaderboard faster to align with a certain event). All funds were paid directly to Kaito, not to me or any other individual.
