Fake account stealing and speaking the truth? MELANIA and LIBRA traders are exposed

Author:Azuma , Odaily Planet Daily

This morning, while the plunge took away almost all the market's attention, two seemingly ordinary but very strange X account theft incidents occurred.

Meteora and former Meteora founder Ben Chow, who left due to the LIBRA insider scandal, both posted a statement saying that Meteora's official X account and Ben Chow's personal X account were stolen (Ben Chow's stolen statement has been deleted), but according to the community's screenshot records, the two incidents did not seem as simple as it seems.

Odaily Note: Meteora 's X is stolen, Ben Chow's has been deleted.

Next, Odaily Planet Daily will take you to sort out what happened in the morning.

Cause: Ben Chow speaks out in his personal account

First of all, at 8:29 this morning, Ben Chow posted a statement on the MELANIA, LIBRA, and TRUMP incidents on his personal account.

The article directly points out that DefiTuna co-founders Dhirk and Vlad, who have exposed the shady situation of Meteora's platform M 3 M 3, are one of the players behind tokens such as MELANIA .

Ben Chow even posted some addresses and chats as evidence, and said Dhirk and Vlad and others had drawn at least $30 million from these trading activities.

Here is my official statement about the MELANIA, LIBRA, TRUMP incident:

As a longtime Solana builder, the reason I quit was because I felt too trusted with the parasitic nature of the Meme token market.

Together with the LP Legions (note: the commonly used name for LP in the Meteora community), we have built a decentralized AMM protocol that is most popular among users, which can be used by anyone. DefiTuna’s co-founder and its affiliate Kelsier abused Meteora and our community for personal gain.

I was disgusted with the actions of DefiTuna co-founders Dhirk and Vlad trying to reveal my behavior as whistleblowers, and they have been actively planning around MELANIA, MATES and more tokens to maximize profit draws.

How could you sit in a room with a bunch of insiders and then decide a few weeks later to try to trap some licensing founder without a license, rather than to report all of these insiders?

Looking at their address, they sniped at least on MELANIA, MATES and other projects and drew $30 million.

They are all serial fraudsters.

Odaily Note: Ben Chow posted a chat history (all community screenshots, so it’s a little confused), and the conversations included DefiTuna co-founder Vlad, Kelsier CEO Hayden Davis, and another unknown person, Gideon Davis.

Progress: Meteora Account Retweet Comments

Shortly after Ben Chow's personal account made a statement (about 8:42), Meteora's official account forwarded the comments, apologized for the unfair behavior in the issuance of MELANIA tokens, and said, "They still hold 30% of MELANIA tokens and are ready to smash the market."

Important information about MELANIA:

We, the Meteora team, sincerely apologize to the community for the recent actions of Hayden (Kelsier CEO) and his team.

Unfortunately, they abused Meteora and its technology to maximize their personal interests, drawing unfair benefits from MELANIA tokens.

We understand that they still hold about 30% of the total supply, and insiders suggest they plan to sell in the market soon.

We deeply regret this situation and are relentlessly ensuring that it does not happen again. Your trust is crucial to us and we are committed to getting everything back to normal.

Turn: both deleted

However, Ben Chow and Meteora's "voice" were only made public for a very short time and were quickly deleted. Then Ben Chow and Meteora both "refuted the rumors" that their accounts were stolen... So there was the ordinary stolen statement this morning.

Many doubts

Obviously, this incident reveals doubts in many aspects.

• First of all, is it a high possibility that a hacker will break through Ben Chow and Meteora accounts at the same time? Or is it possible that Ben Chow, who has left his job, still retains access to Meteora's account?

• Secondly, assuming that a hacker really stole Ben Chow and Meteora’s accounts, why don’t you post a phishing link from the perspective of economic interests, but instead have to make such a long and difficult discussion?

• Secondly, assuming there are really hackers? Where did he get those private chat records and the addresses of relevant people?

• On the other hand, if the person who posted the article behind the two accounts is Ben Chow, who has quickly deleted and claimed to have been stolen, and has controlled public opinion as soon as possible?

• From the perspective of the content of the statement, people have previously regarded DefiTuna, who exposed the inside story of M3M3 trading, as a hero, but how can they explain their in-depth participation in the chat records? Is the so-called "they still hold 30% of MELANIA waiting to be smashed" true?

All of this doubts were raised with Ben Chow and Meteora's "sudden voice" but lost the opportunity to answer as "account is accused".

Looking back at the whole incident, Ben Chow's "statement" seems to be filled with a kind of resentment that is regarded as a scapegoat... DefiTuna, Kelsier, Meteora and Jupiter behind it, what roles do all the parties play in this messed-up trading accident? Who is doing evil and who is innocent? Or are they working together in front and behind the scenes?
