Yet another reason to stay away from crypto.

What a colossal idiot

The company's founder, Robert Leshner, quickly took to Twitter to persuade Compound users to return the surprise windfall — veering from persuasion to praise to threats against anyone who doesn't return the tokens.

First, Leshner said that users could keep 10% of the funds as a bonus, but threatened to reveal the identities of holdouts who don't return the money.

"If you received a large, incorrect amount of COMP from the Compound protocol error: Please return it," he tweeted, listing an account ID. He added, "otherwise, it's being reported as income to the IRS, and most of you are doxxed."
