Infini accuses its engineer of being addicted to gambling or stealing 50 million dollars

ChainCatcher message, according to reports from Wu, monitored by Etherscan, the Infini Team sent an on-chain message to Infini Exploiter 2: 0xfc...6e49, attaching court litigation documents via a link. The specific content is as follows:The plaintiff is Chou Christian-Long, the CEO of BP SG Investment Holding Limited, a Hong Kong registered company wholly owned by Infini Labs. The first defendant is Chen Shanxuan, who works remotely in Foshan, Guangdong, and the identities of the second to fourth defendants are temporarily unconfirmed.The plaintiff, along with BP Singapore, developed a smart contract for managing company and client funds, led by the first defendant. The contract was originally set up with multi-signature permissions to strictly control any fund transfers.When the contract went live on the mainnet, the first defendant allegedly retained "super admin" privileges but falsely claimed to other team members that he had "transferred" or "removed" that privilege.In late February 2025, the plaintiff discovered that approximately 49,516,662.977 USDC worth of crypto assets had been transferred to several unknown wallet addresses (controlled by the second to fourth defendants) without multi-signature approval.Fearing that the defendants or unidentified individuals would further transfer or launder the assets, the plaintiff applied to the court for:A "restraining order" against the first defendant and related unidentified individuals to restrict their transfer or disposal of the stolen assets;An order for the defendants or those actually controlling the relevant wallets to self-disclose their identities;Issuance of various mandatory orders prohibiting the disposal of assets to the first defendant and other unknown wallet holders;A request for the other party to disclose transaction and asset information;Permission for the plaintiff to "serve extraterritorially" (i.e., serve legal documents to foreign defendants) and alternative methods of service.In the body of one affidavit, the plaintiff stated: I recently learned that the first defendant has a serious gambling habit, which may have led him to incur substantial debts. I believe this prompted him to steal the assets involved in the case to alleviate his debts. The plaintiff also submitted screenshots of relevant message records to prove that the first defendant "may be in substantial debt."According to the affidavit, the first defendant borrowed funds from various sources in a relatively short period, even allegedly contacting "underground banks" or so-called "loan sharks," leading to pressure from high interest rates and debt collection calls.Exhibit "CCL-17" mentions that he sought help from others in a chat, stating that he was burdened with "interest from several lenders" and continuously asked if he could borrow more money to get through the difficulties or requested the other party to help introduce new funding sources.Shortly before the incident, the first defendant had revealed in work groups or private conversations with colleagues/friends that his financial situation was "very tight," even expressing anxiety that "if I can't get money again, something will happen."These statements almost coincide with the timing of the unauthorized transfer of the company's crypto assets, thereby reinforcing the plaintiff's judgment regarding the first defendant's "motive": possibly taking risks due to pressure from substantial debt.According to the plaintiff's statement, the first defendant repeatedly avoided or only gave vague answers when asked about personal finances or gambling issues, being unclear about how much debt he actually had or whether he was still gambling.The affidavit states that the first defendant pretended that "there was no big problem" from the end of October until the incident occurred, but the content he discussed in chat software with others was clearly contradictory to this.
