Former Holograph employee sentenced to 5 years for illegally minting $14M in tokens.

A Paris court sentenced a former Holograph Foundation employee to five years in prison, with two years to serve and three years suspended, for illegally creating 1 billion HLG tokens worth about $14 million in 2024. The defendant exploited his former position to alter token minting permissions and transferred the stolen tokens through exchange accounts with two accomplices, who also received prison sentences and fines. The court rejected Holograph's claim for compensation related to the token's market price decline but ordered the defendants to pay €1.15 million for direct losses. The foundation faces possible liquidation due to operational disruptions from the incident.
