I wonder if we can trace $TICKER and $BARKBARK to any of this? 

For those who don’t know:

- The ticker was $TICKER was launched on Party DAO last year. The project was promoted by proxy and rugged. Proxy claimed the dev was French and disappeared with the money.

- $BARKBARK by @tokengod was also promoted by proxy and rugged. The account appeared out of nowhere, claimed it was going to burn the trading fees, then disappeared.

people, i'm begging you to do 30 seconds of research, read actual investigations, and/or establish some new findings before hitting "cast"

Definitely ask questions, but it's kinda lame to just hear "Proxy said..."  re" $ticker when actually there was a pretty deep investigation into the topic which I dug up in about 10s. I'm all for new insights, information and rabbit holes!

i hear you on this but i do think many people are suspecting insider trading of some sort with clanker-launched tokens, so i don't think asking questions is something to discourage?

i mean the og post doesn't even ref the investigation. it literally says "proxy said" which is what i guess got me going on this arc :) all for interesting new investigations ofc

Thanks for the link but I don't see how it shows Kats post isn't useful, the point is let's find more connections between people like Jolan, proxy, and various Base projects, none of which is addressed in Zachxbt's thread. Maybe Jolan was a rogue actor and unconnected and proxy just happened to promote it, but it's worth asking.
