As reported in The Times of Israel on Friday, investor Zhewen Hu claims in a lawsuit, filed in the Tel Aviv District Court on Jan. 24, that Hogeg had misappropriated some of the crypto millions invested in the firm. The filing also names Yaron Shalem, former CFO at Hogeg’s venture capital firm Singulariteam Ltd. as a defendant, says CTech.

Hu said in the filing that he had invested ether cryptocurrency to the value of roughly $3.8 million in the Stox platform after being convinced by commitments in the firm's white paper that, if it could raise $30 million in ether, it would put the total amount into developing its platform and ultimately boost the price of Stox tokens.
