The “Hostile Takeover” In The Blockchain World: A Comedy of Errors
Founder of CipherBlade Claims Their Blockchain Sleuthing Firm was 'Hijacked' by Outside PartyCipherBlade founder claims firm was ‘hijacked.
A Game of Crypto Thrones
Once upon a time, in the magical land of Pennsylvania, a blockchain forensics firm by the name of CipherBlade found itself embroiled in a chaotic war for power. It was a tale of misappropriation, racketeering, and a group of employees executing a “hostile takeover” that would make even the boldest of dragons tremble.
The drama began when the firm’s founder, Richard Sanders, decided to embark on a noble quest to assist local police with crypto investigations in war-torn Ukraine. Little did he know that while he was away, his trusted employees would seize control of his beloved company. With a swift and calculated move, the reins of power were transferred to new CipherBlade entities in the distant lands of Alaska and Singapore. It was a coup worthy of the most cunning schemers in the Seven Kingdoms.
Stolen Property in a Digital Realm
But what is power without a little thievery? In a heartbreaking turn of events, Sanders discovered that not only had his domain, social media pages, and other CipherBlade property been stolen, but they had been taken by those he once considered allies. Oh, the audacity! In a brave and emotional LinkedIn post, Sanders lamented the loss, vowing to reclaim what was rightfully his.
However, this was not the first time the new management of cipherblade.com had faced legal consequences. A previous attempt at suing them in a New York court had been withdrawn, but now, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, a new civil complaint had been filed in the U.S. District Court of Alaska. Accusations of misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair competition, and racketeering flew through the air like flaming arrows.

The Quest for Justice
Leading the charge against the new CipherBlade was Paul Sibenik, Sanders’ trusted confidant and the handpicked successor to run the Pennsylvania firm. His goal was clear: to warn old and potential clients that this new CipherBlade was but a shadow of its former glory. With most of the original senior investigators abandoning ship, the very soul of the company was at stake.
Under Sanders’ leadership, CipherBlade had conducted numerous noteworthy investigations into the mysterious flow of funds through blockchains, helping free Venezuelan software engineers wrongly imprisoned over the hacking of a local crypto exchange. But now, this hijacked version, like a twisted mirror image, was capitalizing on Sanders’ reputation to draw clients and enhance its own credibility. The nerve!
Will Justice Prevail?
As the battle for CipherBlade’s soul rages on, the defendants deny all allegations against them with the strength of a thousand lions. Their lawyers, like skilled warriors, argue lack of jurisdiction and seek to dismiss each claim against their clients. The drama unfolds like a Shakespearian play, with each character playing their part on the grand stage of justice.
But amid all the chaos, CipherBlade Pennsylvania still stands, a glimmer of hope in a troubled world. Though it is no longer accepting new clients, its CEO, the valiant Sibenik, remains at the helm. And so, dear readers, the saga continues.
