TL;DR - It turns out that @proxystudio.eth  is our disgraced former teammate @gabagooldoteth.

I can personally vouch that @dish had absolutely no idea and handled the situation perfectly.

The @clankeronbase team has the full support of myself and the @aerodrome  team.

By “disgraced former teammate” he means “guy that stole 350k from their company account https://blockworks.co/news/crypto-marketplace-alleges-350k-stolen-by-insider-gabagool

Really sad to be honest 😞

Damn this makes me so sad, I don’t know him personally but with the persona he had here I believed in him and the clanker project

All fun and games to be anon until….. 

I have full faith in the company but dang proxy? What? I felt like I knew that guy, I guess you don’t fr unless doxxed 

I also don’t understand the morality in general of the space 

We give Billy McFarland’s second chances. We uplift the kid making cheater software. When are you allowed a second chance, and when not?

I feel this same way. @proxystudio.eth his mistake at aerodrome shouldn’t hinder his success at clanker.

Hard disagree. 

Stealing project funds and trying to launder them definitely has an impact on his role as founder and the face figure of Clanker.

I thought so (the bulding the clanker part) too. Not so sure now. Could be (and I'm pretty sure) that Jack ( @dish) was the one behind the clanker tech. But I can't know (until confirmed by Jack or someone else from the team).  

And no, they (allegedly) didn't simply return the money and take the L. Money was taken from the wallet, sent to tornadocash, then to a CeX. Then the team did an investigation, and told him they know it was him, and threatened legal actions. Allegedly. If that is true, that's drastically different then "I took the money bcs I had money issues but after some internal soul searching, decided to return it". 

Again, while I concede that people can change, a right does not make a wrong. Not just like that.

It’s not a great look but from what I understand he pretty much built clanker and then brought everyone else on no? And haven’t they not touched the 17 million in fees? Idk I just personally think that yeah that fund theft was shitty but he returned the money took the L and has now built one of the best things for the ecosystem in a while I am cool with him at this point
