Odaily reported that Ye Su, Founding Partner of ArkStream Capital, posted on X: "Li Bojie also approached us during the fundraising stage. At the time, we thought the project had a solid background and expressed interest. Later, during the due diligence phase, we found that Li Bojie deliberately conflated interested funds with those that had already invested. The contract he sent over was extremely amateurish, and the team hadn't even figured out how to unlock the tokens. One moment they said 'we'll decide then', and the next 'we can set a term for now', so we decided to pass."Ye Su also mentioned: "Having been in primary investments for 8 years, my deepest insight is that a founder's character has nothing to do with their talent. When founders are down and fundraising, they are very humble. But when they start to gain something, that is the true test of a person's integrity. Li Bojie is a perfect example. The fact that he dares to come out and respond shows he is brazenly cheating people out of their money."

Odaily News According to HashKey Capital member Rui and ArkStream Capital Founding Partner Ye Su’s revelations on X, the cryptocurrency project MANTRA (OM) is a “ground-pushing OTC plate” with an OTC scale of US$500 million. It operates in a cycle of “new OTC tokens taking over old OTC selling plates” until the last unlocked chips “OTC does not move” explode. According to reports, in 2023, when the OM token FDV fell to $20 million and was almost abandoned, a Middle Eastern capital intervened in the acquisition under the matchmaking of an intermediary, retaining only the position of CEO. The Middle Eastern capital owns a large number of physical assets such as luxury homes and resorts, and then packaged OM into a physical asset tokenization (RWAfi) project. Ye Su said that under a high degree of control, OM achieved Binance's highest increase in 2024, achieving a 200-fold growth. The team is still promoting the "OTC" business recently.
