Referenced in the show: A letter from Mike Cagney, Figure’s co-founder and executive chairman - https://www.figure.com/newsroom/company-voices/a-letter-from-mike-cagney-figure-co-founder-and-executive-chairman/ -- False Claim From Story: “vast majority was bought from founder” Response: This is simply not true. The vast majority was acquired from the Foundation in two transactions. First, the Foundation contributed $IP (at a discount) for shares in CASK. Additionally, the cash PIPE proceeds were used to buy tokens at a discount. These two transactions represent most of the total token balance held by CASK. The shareholder ownership for the Foundation and SY individually are all public in the S-1 filing. See page 153-157.
