Disagreements arise again between Neo’s two founders, with Zhang Zhengwen questioning possible misappropriation of public funds
BlockBeats news, on March 3, after the Neo Foundation released its financial report for fiscal year 2025, the two co-founders Erik Zhang and Da Hongfei once again had differing opinions. Regarding the financial report, Da Hongfei stated, "Over the past 12 years, we have experienced market cycles, structural transformations, and regulatory changes, and have continued to evolve. The report clearly demonstrates our current status and future direction. Looking ahead, clarity and execution are key to breakthroughs."
Erik Zhang questioned the financial report, saying, "I only see the Neo asset addresses disclosed by contributor Ricardo Prado, but no addresses for non-Neo assets have been disclosed, and the individual statements in the financial report cannot be verified. In addition, it must be seriously pointed out that the scale of non-nominal digital assets at the Neo Foundation is extremely abnormal. Why did the external investment income of the Neo Foundation ultimately flow to the private company NGD? This is blatant financial embezzlement of public funds."

Google faces £1.2 billion collective lawsuit in UK, accused of excessive Play Store fees
Google has been accused of charging excessive fees to Android app developers over the past decade, resulting in inflated prices for goods and services on the Play Store and potentially affecting about 20 million consumers in the UK. During a class action lawsuit hearing at the London Competition Appeal Tribunal on Tuesday, lawyers representing consumers argued that Google’s practice of charging a 30% commission on digital purchases violated competition law. Consumers impacted since 2015 could ultimately receive compensation totaling approximately 1.6 billion dollars (£1.2 billion). In documents submitted to the court, the lawyers stated: "After escaping competitive constraints, Google used its market power to charge unfair prices, harming user interests and reaping unusually substantial returns for nearly 20 years." Google has consistently denied any anti-competitive behavior.
