Multiple KOLs Allege Kaito Team Member Wen Yue Suspected of Accepting Bribes, Wen Yue Denies and States All Funds Were Paid Directly to Kaito

According to Jinse Finance, several KOLs, including Cryptobrave (@cryptobraveHQ), have recently alleged that Wen Yue, Kaito’s Head of Business, is suspected of accepting bribes. Cryptobrave claimed that Wen Yue charged certain projects excessive listing fees, collecting an additional suspected bribe of around $200,000 under the guise of a comprehensive service package, in order to ensure these projects received priority listing on Kaito. Crypto veteran @SEFATUBA3 stated that Wen Yue demanded a $30,000 bridge fee, which could be paid in whitelist spots or tokens. In response to these allegations, Wen Yue (@0xWenMoon) stated that he has never accepted any bribes. He explained that any payments exceeding $150,000 were for more professional analytical add-on services (such as the KaitoPro platform) or to expedite scheduling (for example, if a project team needed to be listed on the leaderboard sooner to coordinate with a specific event). All payments were made directly to Kaito, not to him or any other individual.
