Certik has a terrible rep in the crypto ecosystem

They're ostensibly an audit/security firm, but miss many vulns

Most egregiously recently they tried to blackmail Kraken, a big exchange, for $2m

Well, "certik" does translate to "little devil"...

oh so the founders already had the idea. so no surprise at all

Yes I believe the direct translation is simply "imp".
