They were both
intimately involved with this process which is yet another huge red flag that Blockstream is in bed with Bitfinex. Later it turns out they NEVER released the funds to the person

Bitfinex is an investor in Blockstream too. Their own employee admitted that Bitfinex is invested in BS during the seed round
