PANews reported on February 18 that Ben, the former head of Meteora, posted on the X platform that the platform and individuals have never privately received or managed any tokens, nor have they received or participated in any off-chain transactions, and any token releases that occur on the platform are strictly confidential. Few people on Meteora can access any release information, and usually only the release time is known to the Meteora himself, and the token/mining pool address is only provided to me and one or two engineers on duty (if any) a few minutes before the actual release. Hayden Davis of Kelsier Ventures is one of the deployers/market makers who recommended the project to him in the past few months, but there is nothing unique about his relationship with Kelsier. For $LIBRA, there was no involvement in the project at all except for providing IT support, including commenting on the liquidity curve and helping to verify the authenticity of the token after the public launch of the token. Neither the Meteora team nor himself compromised the $LIBRA release by leaking information, nor did they purchase, receive or manage any tokens.

Earlier news, Jupiter co-founder Meow revealed that Ben, the head of Meteora, has resigned.
