(1/12) I have devoted myself to being a responsible, global citizen throughout my entire life, spending significant portions of my personal and professional life to activities promoting universal values of respect, liberty & equality.

(2/12) @Tronfoundation is based in Singapore but its contributors are dispersed worldwide. I take great pride in working with its global team of talented contributors and developers to build one of the greatest decentralized blockchain protocols, #TRON.

(3/12) Regardless of age, gender, ethnicity/race, religion, sexual orientation or any other characteristics, #TRON’s decentralized community has accomplished more than I could have ever imagined since its launch in 2017.

(4/12) #TRON is one of the largest and most popular communities in the world. Millions of people have now participated in the TRON community and while there are definitely outliers, I have witnessed a community that has grown and held itself to the highest standards.

(5/12) It has done this by respecting diversity and individuality, and a culture that cherishes fundamental values of freedom of speech, user privacy, intellectual property protection, kindness, a diversified working environment, and compliance with legal standards.

(6/12) In leading a team that is part of the #TRON community, we are proud to have a collaborative environment where we value our employees and their respective cultures.

(7/12) @BitTorrent and @Tronfoundation are both run by their community members. Our team, as we continue to contribute to the ecosystem in various ways, has no more control than any other user.

(8/12) We continue to propose new features & updates, but like any other user of @BitTorrent for file-sharing or @Tronfoundation for dapps, we have no control or discretion over what dapps use the protocol, what data is sent, or how the community uses it.

(9/12) We are extremely proud that @BitTorrent and @Tronfoundation have jointly served 2 billion users around the world, including numerous enterprises, universities and governments who have built their applications and stored and transferred their files using these protocols.

(10/12) These include household names including @SamsungMobile, @Blizzard_Ent, @Facebook, @Twitter, & @UKGovernmentEng. In 2019, @BitTorrent was one of the largest protocols used worldwide, accounting for 2.46% of downstream & 27.58% of upstream traffic of all Internet traffic.

(11/12)There is no merit to the false claims by Lucasz Juraszek, Richard Hall, & Cong Li, who are our former employees. Our legal counsel submitted all of the evidence to the court, & the dispute is currently pending in arbitration. We believe the decision will speak for itself.

(12/12 ) I am heartened by the millions of users who use @Tronfoundation and @BitTorrent every day, and for the benefits that it provides to the community, and I strongly believe that the best is yet to come from the TRON and BitTorrent communities. medium.com/@BitTorrent/an…
