Big Brain Holdings, a venture capital firm that invests in cryptocurrency-related projects, including pre-seed, seed, and early-stage investments, disclosed that they have no relationship with ZKasino.

They said that they invested in a crypto project called ZigZag back in 2022, but that ended up being a loss. And also disclosed that some of the original creators of ZigZag are now involved with ZKasino, which seems shady.

Furthermore, they added that they didn’t invest in ZKasino, but in the past they received offers of investment in return for tokens.
