I know you didn't. It is a saying. But you said betrayal and that's just as strong, I'm saying these company internals are usually never this simple.
I was called a betrayer and ousted by the shitcoin team I worked with for revealing that the founder has misappropriated 10 ETH of funding. It's right there for everyone to see in Etherscan, yet nobody cared and I was booted. The kick that I needed to get into Bitcoin btw. I'm very happy how this turned out and my conscious is clean. But ask the right people and I'm literally Satan - actual slur used.
