Web3 job interview, encountered an attempted drug rape

According to the description of the victim 'Hana Xiaopina' on X, the DWF Labs partner drugging incident occurred on the evening of October 24.

The partner has actively contacted her several times, saying there is a "special project opportunity suitable for her background". As a Newbie who has just entered the encryption currency circle, Hana is hopeful to learn more, so she agreed to the meeting invitation.

Two people were discussing job opportunities in a bar in Hong Kong, but when Hana went to the restroom, a waiter witnessed the partner drugging her drink. Fortunately, thanks to the waiter's reminder, she was able to escape from harm.

When Hana returned to her seat and took a few sips of her drink, the waiter came up to remind her that the partner had put something in her wine. When she suggested that she want to exchange a glass of other wine, the other party insisted that she finish the glass before ordering a new one. Hana said: "Seeing a series of operations where his practice makes perfect, it is obviously not the first time he has done this kind of thing."

Suspected repeat offender? Victims urge relevant individuals with similar experiences to come forward

According to Hana's description, she felt extremely dizzy when she left the bar, and the partner also attempted to lure her to the hotel where he lived.

Hana recalled that the partner kept saying,

"I'll take you to take a taxi. I have a suite in Murrary. If you treat me better, I can give you more insider information. Girls work too hard. You don't have to work on crypto world projects. I'll make money for you with ALPHA."

Hana claimed to have reported the case to the Hong Kong police and obtained the surveillance footage of the night of the incident. She said, 'After watching the video, I felt even more disgusted because he drugged the drink multiple times and stirred it to ensure the powder dissolved.'

Web3 workplace safety reminder: Preventing the risk of drug-induced sexual assault

The DWF Labs partner drugging incident has sparked extensive discussions in the crypto world community about workplace safety. Hana said that it is precisely because there are such 'cancerous tumors' in the industry that many women hesitate to enter the Web3 field.

Hana also reminds all job seekers to always pay attention to their drinks and to trust their instincts. If you have an interview, it is recommended to choose a well-lit public place. In similar situations, you should immediately report to the police and encourage other victims to come forward, break the silence, 'please remember you are not alone.'
