Do Kwon has granted an interview to an unknown journalist, and @Fatman accuses both of them of continuing the shill. This drama is what Twitter was built for.
Coinage Media (Who? Me either) has interviewed Do Kwon in the aftermath of the Terra Luna collapse. In the teaser, Kwon opens by saying, “Terra was supposed to be a stablecoin, and it didn’t remain stable. Therefore, it must be a fraud, and must be a scam. Crypto is still sort of like the wild wild west. I think I developed like sort of, an alter ego.”
When asked by Co-Founder of Coinage Media, Zack Guzmán, if he cringes at his past comments, Kwon answers, “Yes, but the algorithmic stablecoin was starting to become industry standard. I bet big and I think I lost.”
Do Kwon Defends Himself. We Think.
Kwon was asked to defend himself against the fraud accusations in the interview. However, viewing the piece isn’t as easy as initially thought. To see it, one must download a NFT ຟຣີ, which is needed to access the full interview (let’s forget about the ຄ່າ ທຳ ນຽມກgasາຊ for now).
I tried to connect my wallet to get the “free NFT” and it didn’t work, maybe I am still inebriated from the weekend…? Cocktails happened.
Coinage Media makes the case that the CEO of Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes, knew her technology didn’t work but pushed forward with selling it anyway. Theranos became famous for flogging a machine that the company claimed could identify a variety of ailments via a drop of blood. Of course, the tech was just wishful thinking. The teaser for the interview claims that Kwon will address accusations that he’s just Holmes without the long hair and skirt.
The fallout from the Terra ecosystem collapse has been broad, with investors losing out big. And, one of Terra’s Co-Founders, Daniel Shin, was recently raided by Korean prosecutors. This is despite distancing himself from Do Kwon and the Terra project.
Enter the Fatman
Rising Twitter personality @FatManTerra claims to be an insider on the Terra project. He has leaked many inside documents during and after the collapse of the Terra ecosystem. He said of the interview with Kwon:
“Do, why not have an interview with someone more neutral and respectable like Bloomberg or Fortune instead of someone who has been consistently shilling you for *years*, almost as if he’s paid? And will you address the billions you cashed out of the system?”
To which Guzmán replied, “@FatManTerra more respectable? I was a user of Terra just like you were. Also kinda shady that you are acting like I didn’t try to reach out to you for this. Of course I covered Terra. It was either always going to be either crypto’s biggest success or its biggest failure.”
ຟາດແມນ ຖືກປະຕິເສດ that Guzman had reached out. “You didn’t reach out to me about a documentary or interview of any sort. You asked me if I was in Singapore and asked to meet up. I said no because I live in the UK. That was all. I think it’s ‘kinda of shady’ that you would lie about that…”
ຟາດແມນ ຍັງໄດ້ກ່າວວ່າ, “I wouldn’t quite say you ‘covered Terra.’ I would say you shilled Terra and Do Kwon for a very long time, turning a blind eye to their weak points and acting like a sycophant when convenient. With respect, I think any journalist will agree that you are not the most neutral here.”
We will keep watching the fallout of Terra Luna and the drama between grown men on Twitter.
