BitMart Founder Says Threats Against Employees Complicate Staffing

BitMart founder Sheldon Xia said threats against employees and alleged retaliation by former staff have made it harder for the exchange to retain technical workers as it restructures and manages a severely understaffed security team. Xia said individual conversations helped persuade some key technical staff to stay and maintain core systems. “Our security team is currently severely understaffed, but we are still doing everything we can to safeguard data and assets,” he said. Xia had previously disclosed an attack at BitMart and described a possible link to Brazil’s Mercado Bitcoin as preliminary in an earlier update .
