Terra Whistleblower Accuses Do Kwon, Terraform Labs Of Owning Shadow Wallets
Terra community members work to rebuild the destroyed blockchain ecosystem. The whistleblower is left in charge. FatmanContinues to accuse Terraform Labs of manipulating Do Kwon and Terraform Labs. On June 6, Fatman said that Terraform Labs and Do Kwon allegedly have shadow wallets, even though the team promised specific wallets like the Luna Foundation Guard’s and TFL’s wallet would be blacklisted from the LUNA 2.0 airdrop.
“Do Kwon has stated numerous times that TFL has zero new LUNA tokens, making Terra 2 ‘community-owned,’” Fatman tweeted. “This is an outright lie that nobody seems to be talking about. In fact, TFL owns 42M LUNA, worth over $200m, and they’re lying through their teeth.”
Fatman revealed five shadow wallets that he believes are shadow wallets. These wallets include Terra-based addresses and 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Terra-based addresses. Fatman asserts that there are other wallets. The wallets that have moved LUNA have three of them, while two others remain inactive.
“[Do Kwon] used his shadow wallet to approve *his own proposal* through governance manipulation (TFL is not supposed to vote), told everyone it would be a community-owned chain, and then gave himself a nine-figure score. These are just the verified wallets – there are many others,” the whistleblower wrote.
However, in another Twitter thread, Fatman detailed that there’s a possibility Terra 2.0 could become a community-owned blockchain. Fatman believes that Terraform Labs, (TFL), is keeping this idea from becoming a reality.
“Terra 2 may succeed as a truly community-owned chain, but it appears TFL is hell-bent on making sure this doesn’t happen,” Fatman said. “I hope things change, but multiple builders are reporting that the chat is in complete disarray and there is a lot of pent-up resentment towards [Do Kwon].”
