Exit scam canceled? He probably afraid of being put in jail for the rest of his life. Not sure if "I am sorry" would be enough and free him from problems that might arise.
I think the same, on the surface this may seem like a good action but it is not, he is worried about going to jail for the rest of his life or at least for a significant amount of time and now he is trying to make it seem as if he had a change of heart, but in my mind this person will always be a scammer and anyone dumb enough to invest in such project or in future projects that may involve him is asking to be scammed and if they do then they have no one to blame but themselves. 
Topic: SushiSwap founder returns money and ask for forgiveness 😢 (Read 813 times)
Now his reputations have been restored I think. I haven't seen anyone in crypto who at least apologies after doing a scam activity. Maybe he feared that he will go to jail for his doing. People won't trust him anymore because many lost their money. But some may respect him because of this right decision after all.
Not fully restored they are just giving it back the money to real owner that he plan to run so he will not go to jail a wise decision for him . but if I am the one who invested I will never think to invest again to a person that tryng to run my money . He just failed to do it because he knows the consequences that he will deal after . what his done is done so no way people should trust that kind of person.
Well, at least they are not really taking the investor's money and run away.
We can learn from this, the community project funds should not be at one's control, it should be requiring some people to move the funds.
If only one person can control the funds freely, this case will likely happening in the future.

Maybe he thought he would get caught.
Dude basically assumed since he was the creator he should be paid, and he took what he assumed would be enough and didn't even consider it as money that he was stealing, he assumed it was money that he deserved and now after "apology" he still says "and I will let community decide how much I deserve as original creator of sushiswap" meaning he still wants money.
Basically after all he has done, he still has the audacity to think that he deserves money, if he created and put some aside from himself I would have understand that, but to do it later and now asking for money for it is just plain evil, dude should get nothing if you ask me. Because of him sushiswap is now worse and he didn't created it, a whole team did, he just had an idea and that doesn't worth 14+ million dollars. Specially not after what he did.

To everyone. I fucked up. And I am sorry.
$SUSHI migration went successfully and the journey of @SushiSwap began. I was fortunate to have a chance to help in the background and it was a very enjoyable moment in my life. Congrats for the successful migration!
I would like to apologize to everyone who I have caused troubles to. I was emotional, I was greedy, I was afraid. I made bad controversial decisions under pressure. And it hurt everyone. I failed your expectation and I am sorry.
@0xMaki @zippoxer @Sushi__ninja The early believers in the project. Thank you for joining the journey with me early. And sorry if I made you feel betrayed. I really appreciated your help bootstrap the project and push it forward.
@lawmaster @scott_lew_is @danielque @tomhschmidt @rleshner and other Crypto OGs. @DegenSpartan @mewn21 @intocryptoast and other degen friends. I failed your expectation. I am sorry.
@AndreCronjeTech Thank you for helping with some ideas and code. And very sorry for bringing a bad reputation to the DeFi movement.
@binance @cz_binance @nomorebear I am sorry that I may have caused you trouble. @haydenzadams @brendan_dharma sorry for being cocky. You guys are awesome builders.
Most importantly @SBF_Alameda. Thank you for your help getting SushiSwap back when I almost destroyed it. Same goes for other signers @AdamScochran @mickhagen @cmsholdings @sinoglobalcap
And there are probably hundreds of other people that I did not mention here, but well deserve an apology from me.
I have returned all the $14M worth of ETH back to the treasury. And I will let the community decide how much I deserve as the original creator of SushiSwap. In any currency (ETH/SUSHI/etc). With any lockup schedule you wish.
I will continue to participate in the discussion and technical implementation of SushiSwap in the background. But I will not have any control. Will not take any spotlight. Will not be part of the governance.
I hope that SushiSwap continues to evolve. Don't let my mistake deter it from being a 100% community-run AMM. The success of SushiSwap will set a precedent for many more community-run projects.
It has a lot of potential, don’t let my action alone fuck it up.

If someone fall for it a 2nd time, you can no longer be helped...
Sorry!

I am 100% certain that dude faced with a lot of legal stuff and he was really afraid of going to jail for a very very long time and that is why he did all of this. Obviously he is not off the hooks yet, what he did was illegal and it is not the same to just give everything back and think you are innocent, let's assume you go steal someone's money, and you bring that money back to them, you think that is not a crime? Of course it is, this is the same thing but just digitally.
He is hoping that since he gave the money back and he stepped down as the CEO and he is no longer a part, he will not be considered as a criminal and nothing will happen to him, he might be right in the crypto world since most people do not really care about it, but I still think it is quite dangerous as well.

I do not get it, why do you think that one person should have power over something? That alone should tell you how this is all wrong and f- up, decentralization is a thing and if they do not care about it at all, that means they are not doing it right at all neither.
We need people to actually have some sort of uncontrollable thing, like bitcoin because that way you know that it can't be controlled and people could actually have a decentralized currency, however it is not like that, now this dude made a mistake and it screwed up everything but even if it ever recovers, giving that power to someone else doesn't really make a ton of change, it just changes the ownership from one person to another, who is to say that new ownership will not make any mistake neither? Nobody can guarantee that.

He's trying to regain his reputation and i think it's a smart move knowing that you might get into jail after running with the money of the investors, but I don't think that would be enough to appease the people he scammed by just returning the money, but i guess it's still a good thing that he returned it, many people would run because of it.
Nobody will trust him again we don't know exactly why he returned the money, maybe he's not really that bad or someone in the group threaten to expose him,we do not know the real picture, this is how risky investing in Cryptocurency so even if you do your own research this things still happen, that is why we should tagged this unknown or anonymous developers because they have a way to get away, because nobody is going after them. 
It's a really good thing that the owner is feeling guilty and has apologized for his behaviour.
It takes huge guts to accept a mistake in front of such a large community.

This is just a tweet. He can delete it if he wants. So his guts are not so huge. He could have gathered all the people that had lost from Sushi in one place and apologise on public.
It is unclear what this is all about. Did he really meant to apologise or he was forced to.

But this doesn't mean that you guys should trust him again and invest in Sushi blindly.
This is where you should pay focus. Take out all your money or most of it and invest in a potential coin.
If the scam has happened once then it can happen again. If not the owner it can be someone else from their team as well.
You money lies in your hands now. Let the DeFi hype settle and then decide whether to invest in it again or not.

He took a huge step by returning the stolen funds unlike other devs will disappear without a trace, that is a commendable act, but to me, I think it will be difficult for me to trust him again because of the incident, he will really have to work hard to regain my trust, although he did a great job acknowledging his mistakes and ready to make amends.
If only more people had that attitude.
For most people saying sorry is the most difficult thing in the world.
Even if he now makes much less money from it it will be clean and honestly earned money.
He say sorry for fear of going to jail. I think it's better to apologize than anything. Everyone has mistakes, but not everyone dares to apologize. And what is more important is that he dared to return the funds amounting to 14 million dollars and that is a very large amount.For most people saying sorry is the most difficult thing in the world.

if only half of those devs (ICO scammers) had done the same act as with this sushiswap founder, ICO investors had been very lucky. not many people can admit their mistakes publicly. though he may be thinking of evading jail time but still most scammers will just disappear and will do other things to avoid conviction.
now i remember again the now defunct Quadriga crypto exchange and the strange death of its CEO...

He just wanted to make Sushi Swap more decentralized, right? 
Even he run with the money, project is still alive and it is still traded on the biggest exchanges - Binance, Huobi and Gate.io. That would mean that no one cares when CEO run with tens of millions of dollars?

Get out of it! If he was able to do that, he will be able to do that in the future right? The creator of SushiSwap is completely anonymous, so we can´t trust his words. He probably did the worst thing, stealing money and now giving it back? Doesn´t make sense at all, he will not get the credibility back.
He's trying to make amends for what he did to the community, but maybe not very effective. There are a lot of people who have lost money on this project and they won't leave him alone. His lost trust cannot be recovered so easily, even though he apologizes 1000 times, they still hate him. The most selfish developer I have ever known, he brought his project out to the community, and then he took profits and announced that the project was still growing.
Ahaha, now he should buy Sushi tokens back and double his previous holdings (I am speculating, I am not aware at which price he sold them, but I am pretty sure he sold them higher than the current price is). Its kinda humorous tho, maybe the Litecoin guy is next, but I would not hold my breath.
xOdiumNostrumx if you think about Charlie Lie as the Litecoin guy he sold his Litecoins long ago, and he said he will continue
to work on the development. He didn't want to get in conflict of interest, he sold all his coins at the top in 2017, I believe the
price was around $300, we can check that information.
I saw a lot of talking on the Twitter about this guy who sold his Sushi tokens for +$7 millions. I saw his tweets where he is
trying to explain himself. I don't have Sushi tokens, and I will hold myself with investments in this token after his move. My
trust is shaken, and most people feels the same.
