recently, many KOLs including Crypto Brave (@cryptobraveHQ) stated that Kaito's business manager Wen Yue is suspected of accepting bribes. Among them, Crypto Brave stated that Wen Yue charged some projects excessive listing fees in the name of overall package fees, suspected of receiving about $200,000 in bribes to ensure that the project is prioritized for listing on Kaito. Crypto industry veteran @SEFATUBA3 stated that Wen Yue charges a $30,000 bridge fee, which can be used for whitelist or tokens.
