I am just catching up with the Clanker drama.

💜 Here is a quick breakdown:

- Alex & Gabagool (doxxed) work at Velodrome
- Gabagool steals $350k from treasury
- gets caught
- creates new persona called Proxy
- starts working at Clanker under new name
- goes to an irl event
- bumps into Alex 
- Alex alerts Clanker founder
- Gabagool/Proxy is fired from Clanker

this is just a reminder of how important due diligence is

but the question I ask is: why try pull this shit if you are fully doxxed??

...until I see him last Wednesday in that loft in SoHo.

I had long wondered what I would say or do if I saw him again and here I was -- shaking with adrenaline -- needing to make a choice.

Three people confirm he is @_proxystudio so I walk over.

I ask: "Do you recognize me?"

He seems to genuinely not.

I say: "I knew you by a different name: Gabagool."

He has the audacity to suggest I'm confused.

I say: "I'm not doing that. You've got 24h to dox or I'll do it."

He drops the pretense and begs to talk. I leave.
