I had to lay low for a while. It wasn’t safe, and I wasn’t a threat to their power or their self-interest anymore, so they left me alone. I didn’t fight loud, I fought smart. With silence. With survival. Went into hiding. With patience. That’s how I made it through. I survived everything they threw at me. I’m still here, not untouched, but unbroken. I survived to fight another day. And most importantly, my family’s safe.

Frank,

I’ve taken some time to reflect before replying, because I truly don’t understand the level of anger you continue to carry, or how, despite years of verifiable work and an abundance of public evidence, you remain convinced by Shamay’s version of events.

I understand healthy skepticism. But you’ve seen the same proof everyone else has. The public ledger of how funds have been used has been shared repeatedly since last October:

The @BitcoinSranan X account alone documents two years of continuous grassroots progress. Samuel Kullman, a respected Swiss parlementarian, publicly shared his firsthand account of the event with Kruse, directly contradicting the narrative you’ve chosen to amplify.

Yet you chose to post only the last few transactions I sent you, not the full, transparent tracker. As a journalist, you know how that can distort a story. You also implied, without evidence, that companies like Newmont are involved in money laundering. That accusation carries weight, and consequences. I wonder if they’re even aware of what you have accused them of.

I’ve spoken in multiple national interviews here in Suriname, on the record, and refuted the claims circulating. I’ve also made it clear that if I were “controlled opposition,” I wouldn’t need crowdfunding or community-funded security. That’s not how this works.

Frank, I want you to know this isn’t written in anger. I don’t wish to discredit you. But I am disappointed. You asked questions, and I answered them all. I’ve never hidden. I’ve only kept working. And while I respect your work, I also ask you to reflect on whether you’ve truly honored the journalistic principles you represent.

Ralphie, by contrast, has shown grace, depth, and a sincere desire to understand. He knows more than most and asks better questions. Speaking down to him won’t change that.

You joined X in 2018. I’ve been in the Bitcoin space long before that. If I wanted to scam anyone, it would’ve been far easier to launch a shitcoin, mint NFTs, or fundraise behind some hollow token. But I didn’t. Because that’s not who I am. That’s not what I’m here for.

Ironically, some of the biggest scams of this cycle came from those closest to the people now pointing fingers. Including a sitting president whom launched an NFT and shitcoin platform. And let’s not forget: Bitcoin Magazine was co-founded by Vitalik. Some echoes still remain.

In any case, I regret that this has unfolded the way it has. I wish you peace and clarity. We’ll be reaching out to your editors to present the full picture, and over the next week, we’ll continue sharing more, openly and transparently, as we’ve done since the start.

With respect,
Maya

“I know these guys. I know the way they think, and they will erase us. And everything we've done here, none of it'll matter. Any other team wins the World Series, good for them. They're drinking champagne, they get a ring. But if we win, on our budget, with this team... we'll have changed the game. And that's what I want. I want it to mean something.”

Stop lying, I have all proof that Jack Kruse is a lying egocentric psychopath that’s being steered by Max and Stacy

FREEDOM USED TO MEAN SOMETHING. IT STILL CAN.

There was a time when the word “freedom” stirred something sacred in the human heart.
When “liberty” wasn’t a slogan but a fire, one that lit revolutions, forged nations, and pulled entire peoples out of the shadows of tyranny.

Today, that word gets thrown around like loose change. Used, diluted, weaponized.
But freedom isn’t fashion.
It’s not what you post, what you buy, or who you vote for.

Freedom is deeper.
It’s the right to be, without permission.
To speak, without fear.
To dream, and to act on that dream, without a ceiling imposed by your birthplace, your gender, your race, your bank account, or your party line.

Liberty is not given. It is claimed. It is lived.
It’s a promise we must renew, every generation, with the boldness of those who came before us, those who dared to imagine a life unshackled, even when their chains were still on.

Today, our chains look different.
Bureaucracy instead of bars.
Censorship masked as safety.
Corruption masked as competence.
Dependency sold as compassion.
Surveillance disguised as protection.

But I believe in the human spirit.
I believe in the fire that once moved millions to march, to write, to stand, to build, to fight, and to love in the face of impossible odds.

We are not meant to be managed.
We are not here to comply.
We are here to live.
Fully. Proudly. Freely.

So let’s rise, not with hatred, not with violence, but with clarity, courage, and conviction.
Let’s build a world where liberty once again means something.
Where our children don’t inherit fear, but freedom.
Where dignity is not the privilege of the few, but the birthright of all.

We owe it to those who came before us.
We owe it to ourselves.
And we owe it, most of all, to those who come next. ✊🏽🩷
