DWF Labs today dismissed one of its partners shortly after a woman posted allegations on X (formerly known as Twitter) that a partner at the firm attempted to drug her. While the company did not name the individual, founding partner Eugene Ng has since been removed from the firm’s team page.
Hana, a prospective female job applicant at DWF Labs, alleged Tuesday that a DWF Labs partner slipped a date-rape drug into her drink during a work-related meetup at a bar in Hong Kong on October 24, according to the woman’s X post.
“We are aware of the recent and deeply concerning allegations involving one of our partners, who has been accused of inappropriate and unacceptable behavior,” DWF Labs said Tuesday in a statement, adding that it would investigate the matter. “[We have] decided to dismiss the said partner from management and operational roles effective immediately.”
The company did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s request for comment. Ng appears to have made his X account private.
