That’s a false and baseless characterization of Thiago’s integrity and intelligence. To reduce his decisions to either ignorance or complicity shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the nuanced challenges that emerging tech and fintech leaders face, particularly in volatile, early-stage sectors.
Engaging with CEOs like Haggai Alon or Alessandro Zamboni is not an endorsement of their entire histories or corporate trajectories, it’s a calculated move based on potential synergies, IP access, or strategic alignment.
Criticizing him for exploring strategic relationships without having full access to the deal terms, governance controls, or intended outcomes is speculative at best and reckless at worst.
