Charlotte Fang, whose real name is Krishna Okhandiar, is the founder of the Remilia Corporation, the entity behind the Milady Maker NFT collection. In May 2022, following a controversy where Fang was linked to an anonymous, contentious online persona named 'Miya,' he announced he was stepping down from the project. However, Fang later stated on social media that his departure was "performative" and that he had never actually left.^{[13][1][2][3]}

Overview

Charlotte Fang, also referred to as Krishna Okhandiar or Charlie, is the founder of Remilia Corporation, the online collective behind the Milady Maker NFT project. Okhandiar's claim to have founded Remilia in January 2021 is disputed by former colleagues, who assert the venture was established as a joint art collective in September 2021. In an April 2022 blog post, Okhandiar described the "Remilia Collective" as a "fellowship of pseudonymous net art extremists" and viewed concepts like copyright and patents as "burdens that strangle the free flow of the work."^[13]​^[2]​

​Milady Maker is a collection of 10,000 generative neochibi-style profile pictures (pfp) NFTs inspired by the street-style tribes of Y2K Japan and it was launched in August 2021. Initially, the idea for Milady Maker was to give holders access to a “​​highly customized Minecraft server”. The Milady NFT project soon expanded its ecosystem to involve NFT banners, mixtapes, VRtube, a bootleg merch store, and more. ^[2]​^[4]​

Miya Controversy

On May 23, 2022, DefiLlama analyst 0xngmi made allegations in a thread^[5] that Milady co-founder, Charlotte Fang, was “Miya” – a pseudonymous online entity that allegedly spread hatred against Blacks, homosexuals, and Jews, and espoused misogynistic and anti-Semitic views. ^[5]​^[13]​

​0xngmi also revealed another one of Fang’s older accounts with the username, Sonya. Besides posting similar content to Miya, Sonya reportedly managed a “harem of e-girls.” In a group chat where minors were encouraged into eating disorders and self-harm, one post contained abusive rules these girls followed. Fang was also accused of playing "high-level manipulation games" on women.^[5]​^[6]​^[13]​

Additionally, it was alleged that Charlotte/Miya/Sonya was supposedly part of a suicide movement called Systemspace^[7]. The community urged members to commit suicide, plying them with promises that they would gain access to “paradise” upon death. 0xngmi alleged that five years back, a 17-year-old in Canada killed himself due to the influence of this cult.^[5]​^[6]​

Charlotte Fang's Response

Fang initially attempted to deny the allegations; however, they self-doxxed and confessed to running the Miya account, framing the past involvement as an "elaborate troll."^[8]​^[13]​

"OK, full disclosure: I was Miya. And its toxic baggage that’s hurting Milady community & poisoning the vibe. I apologize about trying to hide the past account—Miya has nothing to do with Milady Maker & should stay that way so I’ll be stepping down from the team from here."

Fang admitted to making the controversial posts, calling them Miya’s “toxic baggage,” but also stated that his "real views hold no room for hate." To stop the scandal from reflecting on Milady, Fang announced his resignation from the project on May 21, 2022. However, he later stated on X (formerly Twitter) that his departure was "performative" and that he had never fully left. A subsequent lawsuit by his colleagues corroborated that he "eventually rejoined daily operations."^[6]​^[13]​

Milady Maker's Response

On November 17, 2022, a Milady Maker community member published an article^[9] debunking allegations against Milady Maker lead Charlotte Fang and their team.

"These allegations were made on hearsay without actual evidence, by a co-founder of Milady Maker’s largest rival in an attempt to cancel Milady and crash its price. - debunking article^[9]

The article was prompted as a result of "old allegations uncritically cited by journalists who jumped on the initial drama and never corrected their reporting."

In the article, it was stated that Miya was a satirical performance art with evidence that the project was well understood and appreciated as performative in its time and in retrospect^[10]​^[11]. It was also stated that Miya was collaboratively written and the Miya project was well-noted for its practice of post-authorship, sharing unattributed and collaboratively produced (or outright stolen) content, as described by Charlotte Fang. Lastly, it was stated that Miya was an ‘open secret’ in the Milady community.

"it was a widely known open secret that Charlotte was previously leading the Miya project, many of the fans of which made up the initial Milady community" - debunking article^[9]

As regards the allegations of grooming of underage women in the space, the article stated that "no victim has ever been identified" and that none of the identified women in the group chat were underage.

"These women were never approached for their side, but after being subject to exposure and harassment after being presented as victims, each of them have spoken out clearly stating nothing shady had happened and refuting the suggestion they have victimized." - debunking article^[9]

The article also addressed the allegations by 0xngmi which alleged that Charlotte Fang previously ran a “suicide cult”, SystemSpace.

"The claim Charlotte founded SystemSpace, had any serious involvement in it, or had any involvement in any individual’s suicide is made with no evidence"

It was stated that SystemSpace was a fairly well-known ARG community inspired by the anime Serial Experiments Lain and the Matrix film series and it was founded and run by a Dutch teenager as an imageboard and Discord server for users creatively participating in the fictional lore. ^[9]​

"One of the members of the 10,000+ member Discord server committed suicide at some point, which 0xngmi used to frame it as a suicide cult."

It was also pointed out that Charlotte Fang's involvement in SystemSpace was minimal.

"Charlotte was only ever in the community for those few months, which happened more than a year before the apparent suicide took place. This has been confirmed by SystemSpace community members who were present at the time. There is also no speculation Charlotte was in any way involved with the team behind SystemSpace."

Finally, the article included an update on nearly all the initial accusers who have retracted their allegations following the release of the article.

"It’s safe to say Milady has beat the allegations" - debunking article^[9]

Legal Disputes

In September 2023, Fang and his former colleagues filed lawsuits against one another. On September 10, Fang, a resident of Nevada, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada against three colleagues: Maxwell Roux, John Duff, and Henry Smith. The suit accused them of attempting to seize Remilia's intellectual property, funds, and social media accounts to extort him for company equity. Fang also alleged the misappropriation of company funds.^[13]

On September 22, four of Fang's colleagues—Roux, Duff, Smith, and Bruno Nispel—filed a countersuit in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware. Claiming to be co-founders, they accused Fang of a scheme to take control of company funds and assets. The lawsuit alleged that Fang incorporated "Remilia Corporation" and "Remilia Industries" in 2022 without their knowledge, withheld payments, and embezzled funds.^[13]

Cult Token

In December 2024, Remilia Corporation launched an Ethereum-based token named "Cult." A pre-sale for the token announced in June 2024 raised over $20.5 million. On its launch day, the token's fully diluted valuation (FDV) surpassed $600 million, peaking at $845 million. The launch included an airdrop for individuals who held and traded Remilia Corporation NFTs, such as Milady Maker and Redacted Remilio Babies.^[14]

Fang stated that the token is "fundamentally different" from a regular memecoin and should not be viewed as a "Milady coin." He elaborated on this view:^[14]

"It's an ecosystem coin for an ecosystem that is by ideological design a self-organizing memetic engine, not wrapping just a meme or character but a revolutionary movement. So I think it exists as a genuinely new category, something like a metamemecoin or a memeplexcoin.”

Vitalik Buterin's Influence

In January 2026, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin changed his profile picture on the social media platform X to a Milady NFT. He accompanied this change with a post on January 2 stating, "Welcome to 2026! Milady is back." This action led to a significant increase in the collection's value and trading activity. Within 24 hours, the floor price of the Milady Maker collection rose by nearly 30% to approximately 1.07 ETH, with a sharp increase in both trading volume and sales. This was not the first instance of a prominent figure influencing Milady's price; a similar surge occurred in May 2023 after Elon Musk shared a related meme.^[15]​

RemiliaChat and RemiliaNET

In September 2025, Remilia Corporation announced the launch of a new social media network, described as a spiritual successor to 4chan and early Twitter, aimed at serving the "diaspora of chan culture." The project is a response to the creators' belief that the modern internet is broken. The rollout began with RemiliaNET, a social identity layer, with the full social media platform, RemiliaChat, to follow at an unconfirmed date.^[12]

RemiliaNET is an in-browser experience that functions as the identity service layer for the broader RemiliaChat platform. It allows users to create profiles, connect wallets to use NFTs as profile pictures, and track their achievements within the Milady ecosystem. These achievements contribute to a "social credit score," which is used to rank users on a competitive global leaderboard. The system is also designed to facilitate "manipulation rounds," where users are airdropped tokens and other rewards based on their scores and rankings.^[12]

RemiliaChat is planned as a fully-featured social media platform with an algorithm-driven content feed and chat functions. According to Remilia's Chief of Staff, Michael Dragovic, the platform's goal is to "save the entire culture of the internet." The platform intends to emphasize anonymity and pseudonymity while implementing a unique approach to moderation. Dragovic stated that the team believes "90% of moderation comes from the way you design the layout of your site," aiming to steer user behavior through design rather than heavy-handed content removal. However, moderation will still exist to remove illegal content and address "bad actors."^[12]
