CertiK is also notoriously bad reputation auditor company, having black hats on their payroll, and promoting scam projects.

black hats working for an auditing company is like being mad that your dentist cheated on his taxes. your teeth look great either way.

You want former black-hats only, with a reputation of being a white-hat hacker in the present day. Handing tons of sensitive customer information to people actively engaged in black-hat hacking and scams is a terrible idea.

More like having a drug dealer in your AA group.

Most AA groups have a few drug dealers.
