Why did PrimeGrid seed the Pomegranate account to help it stake, using donations by the public for their supposed hardware drive? We noticed that one of the PrimeGrid admins, Rytis, is also involved with CE. This is very concerning, and the reason I personally got suspicious of your activity.
What PrimeGrid does with their donated funds is entirely up to their own discretion. If I had to bet, I'd say that PrimeGrid sold the GRC to CE for cash in order to buy said hardware, rather than having to dump GRC for BTC then convert to FIAT. Heck, BISQ could have been used for a p2p transfer of funds.
The tracking of funds is a slippery slope & frankly pretty disgusting.
