He has never asked for, accepted, or received in any way any amount of money for any personal expense. All of the funds are simply processed for vendors/sponsorships. In respect to the game, he can answer that best, probably in a dedicated post somewhere or in a chat if possible.
I quote from Muterra discord: 'I never got the invite for the interview. And what I am doing for Hive has already shown great results. Valueplan will be disclosing it very soon'. So who is lying?
The quote sounds like its about hackathons. I'd just sort out anything game related on the Muterra discord or blog. I'll jump on there myself if it helps but I really don't know anything about the game aside from some development-related points.
