Carano have, ETN definitely have no team.

About the hate. I can say only from my side, not the rest but i see that many share my opinion. They way how Richie started doing things is putting bad light on crypto. They started with lies and marketing. HE shoudl rather open an bank or something and scam people there in crypto is no place for that.
