<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I’m going to call this statement what it is, a huge lie.<a href="https://t.co/EYHtiwxBmr">https://t.co/EYHtiwxBmr</a>
What Jae is doing isn’t decentralization, it’s a transparent attempt to evade responsibility for Jae’s neglect and negligence to the Cosmos project.

<h2>Tussle Between Zaki Manian &amp; Jae Kwon</h2>
Recently, during an interview with decrypt, Manian stated that he earlier had warned Kwon to resign from the role of CEO otherwise, he would quit the projects and take a bulk of engineering team with him.  Manian in his interview stated that after his resignation as Director, many people from the company have been claiming that the tussle between him (Manian) and Kwon is just for power.

<h2>Developers Stepped-Down</h2>
According to the reports, there were many developers, who supported Manian and have stepped down from the project, but neither the Cosmos Blockchain developer himself nor any other person had disclosed the numbers.

It was reported that earlier, Kwon has been planning to stop the Cosmos Project and start a new one named Virgo. Later while denying the report, Kwon said that he just was planning to step down from the role of CEO and decentralize Tendermint.
