Conor Grogan, Head of Product at Coinbase, is taking crypto transparency into his own hands (since no one else is stepping up to the plate).
Unearthing various cryptoverse evil-doing via Twitter (where else) seems to be his New Year’s resolution. He has spent January 2023 aggressively evaluating SBF and FTX in particular.
Allegations against SBF, FTX, and Alameda
A list of “things that SBF/Alameda bought” is perhaps the most comical of Grogan’s claims.
A few days prior to revealing the above list, Grogan asserts that some shenanigans with SBF/Alameda caused the Celsius bankrun and subsequent bankruptcy.
Altcoinbuzz investigates the Celsius debacle in detail below.
Grogan takes on Binance
Taking a break from his FTX focus, Grogan insinuated that individuals associated with Binance) engaged in “front running,” a form of insider trading.
He then walks his claims against Binance back a bit, explaining that this type of sleuthing is simply his hobby.
Grogan throws suspicion on Tron and Justin Sun
An equal-opportunity investigator, Grogan turned his attention to another colorful crypto powerhouse, Justin Sun.
Apologies, his formal title listed on Twitter is: His Excellency Mr. Justin Sun, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Permanent Representative of Grenada.
A clear mission statement
Conor Grogan’s actions speak louder than words. But he does a darn good job of articulating a mission statement.
Thank you Conor! Someone needs to be doing this important work. “DYOR” – do your own research – is a common cry in the crypto community, but not many are trained to actually do it. The crypto community needs to educate people to understand, monitor, question, and evaluate transactions in real-time.
