Twitter user ChainLinkGod found that the report contains an invalid external link that points to a local file, revealing a name: Simeon.

The user claimed that another Twitter account When Moon first revealed on the 19th morning the mysterious short report institution Zeus Capital, and their webpage code surprisingly contains the same TypeForm string as Nexo's form system.

ChainLinkGod pointed out that after this incident was exposed, Nexo's Digital Assets Research Director Simeon Rusanov's Twitter, LinkedIn, and the short report were all taken down simultaneously. Checking Simeon Rusanov's Twitter and LinkedIn, they appear normal, but the report has been taken down. Simeon Rusanov's Twitter has not responded.

Well some anons went digging and found "Simeon Rusanov" Head of Digital Assets Research at @NexoFinance

ChainLinkGod believes the motives behind the report are suspicious, and the report even includes detailed instructions on how to short LINK. Currently, Nexo has not issued an official response to this matter.
