Apex Accelerator and Stone Venture, the co-hosts of the 'Don't Get Played' event held during TOKEN2049 in Singapore, are facing allegations of misconduct. Reports on X claim that organizers pressured attendees to install software providing remote access to their devices.
The event took place in early October 2026 at The Singapore EDITION with a capacity of 200 people. It was marketed as a security-focused session featuring a 'wallet clinic' using Apex Audit tools and a panel discussion on scam evolution.
Promotional materials listed representatives from Spartan Group, Bybit, and the Singapore Police Force Cyber Command as speakers. Guests were also promised a year of Sophos MDR endpoint protection with $1 million in breach coverage.
As of October 12, 2026, there is no official confirmation of a police report or victim complaints. Apex Accelerator and Stone Venture have not been charged, and no evidence suggests that the mentioned partner organizations were involved in the alleged activities.
