James Donaldson () has been repeatedly lying about the events that occurred with Copperhead. I never had an employment agreement with Copperhead and it was explicitly agreed that I owned the code I was writing and had full control + ownership of the open source projects.
Conversation
It was explicitly agreed that the donations were to support my work. They were NOT donations to the company. That's nonsense. It isn't how it was presented to the people donating and it isn't what was agreed upon between us. He's going back on everything promised and agreed upon.

He stopped wanting the arrangement of the company building a business around independent open source projects and tried to take it over with legal threats and ultimatums. He expected me to give in out of fear and turn everything over to him, compromising security of the users.
Replying to
He ended up seizing all the infrastructure and imploding the past incarnation of the projects. The work is continuing at github.com/AndroidHardeni and an incomplete archive of the actual old repositories is at github.com/AndroidHardeni. Copperhead didn't write it and doesn't own it.

James not only stole the majority of the donations but also the Twitter account representing my projects and security research / engineering. I had renamed it and he tricked Twitter support into handing over my account to him and claims it's a corporate account which it wasn't.

I haven't been able to get in touch with either Reddit or Twitter support. They're happy to help an abusive corporation silence someone along with handing sensitive conversation logs over to them. They refuse to even speak to me or give an explanation for what they've done.

I'm glad I moved a lot of conversations to Signal, because Twitter handed over all of my Direct Messages as part of my account. An individual or open source project is treated like garbage here. Can't even contact a human. Meanwhile a corporation can quickly seize their account.

I was not contacted or given any chance to present the facts. Twitter simply caved and handed over the account. I never received a single email about it from them. Reddit did almost exactly the same thing, but with an unjust ban based on false reports spammed for a comment.
