In the video, Paul took the blame for the hiring process of his staff. He claimed that he didn’t overlook the hiring process thoroughly and hired some people who would eventually steal from the company as well as its investors. Moreover, he added that the lead developer Eddie Ibanez fooled him and also named some other people Ibanez has scammed.

I know what you’re thinking. What type of idiot would work with an unsavory individual like Zac Kelly? I guys that’s what I get for trusting a team that I relied on to vet and manage Eddie’s hiring process. Who has turned out to be a professional con man, who I have learned has fooled billionaires, the Mormon trust fund the New York Yankees and now me.” said Paul.
