Ian Balina became\u00a0one of the world\u2019s most prolific ICO influencers in 2017 while growing his portfolio from $37,000 to $5.36 million by January 2018.<\/li>
In April 2018, Balina fell off his perch after sustaining a hack of his personal wallets in which he lost almost $2.5 million.<\/li>
Post-hack, Balina looked to professionalize his operations and approached multiple exchanges about a sponsor partnership.<\/li>
One of Balina\u2019s proposals to a large exchange included the unusual request\u00a0to make \u201call Ian Balina Projects available on [the] exchange for trading,\u201d which the exchange rejected.<\/li>
Balina then signed on as a KuCoin Global Titan Ambassador. The exchange denies that a similar clause exists in their arrangement with Balina.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
