Here's the direct link to the comments from MobileCoin's CEO (not Moxie): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26726246

Funny how he avoids answering any questions about financial incentives and token sales.

Edit: Also note how the mentioned primary goal of MobileCoin is to "fund Signal", not to be a payments layer for it.

Moxie presumably got rich from MobileCoin, it was reported that he recently bought an expensive house in Los Angeles.

He sold an earlier company to Twitter, pretty sure he already is "rich" (most of us here are, comparatively).

I'd like to think about Moxie as the most honourable person in all of this. Leaving the CEO role could be a sign that he doesn't agree with everything that's going on.

And left Twitter after a really short period of time. Usually, your acquihire pay depends on staying for a certain length of time.

I doubt that he was already as rich as he became last year otherwise why only buy an expensive house only now?

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing but it is an important fact that is being left out.
