A wave of outrage is sweeping through the crypto community after a serious incident was brought to light. Andrei Grachev, co-founder of DWF Labs, recently announced on platform X that the company is considering legal action against former manager Eugene Ng.
The reason stems from allegations that Eugene Ng drugged a female business associate’s drink. The victim, Hana (X account @hananotsorry), is an employee from a traditional investment fund. According to her account on October 24, the incident occurred during a business meeting.

“He had repeatedly reached out, inviting me to join a project that, in his words, was a perfect fit for my experience,” Hana recounted. “As someone new to crypto and eager to learn, I agreed to meet.”
During the meeting, after Hana left the table briefly to use the restroom, a female server warned her upon her return that her drink had been tampered with. Fortunately, security cameras in the restaurant captured the suspect’s actions. Hana promptly reported the incident to the police and shared her story publicly to alert other women in the crypto industry.
The consequences have extended beyond Eugene Ng’s dismissal from DWF Labs. OpenEden, a project co-founded by Ng, has also announced it is severing ties with him. DWF Labs is currently considering legal action as the incident could severely damage the company’s reputation.
