Movement "Shadow Advisor" Reveals Former Co-Founder Acquired 60 Million Move Tokens Through Insider Trading Airdrop
On May 22, it was reported that Movement's "shadow advisor" Sam Thapaliya revealed today that former co-founder Cooper Scanlon obtained 60 million Move tokens through insider trading airdrops. Sam stated that Cooper insisted on distributing the highest proportion of token airdrops to a group of 75,000 wallets, which were almost the only wallets capable of claiming, bundling, and selling more than 60 million MOVE tokens. Cooper also instructed to raise the GAS fees for claiming the airdrop, causing the vast majority of retail investors to never claim the airdrop.
However, "shadow advisor" Sam Thapaliya is also "not a saint." Two previous business memorandums show that Movement Labs signed agreements with two "shadow advisors" (including Sam Thapaliya), promising to provide up to 10% of the MOVE token supply (worth over $50 million). Advisor Sam Thapaliya claims the agreement has not been terminated and is seeking legal means to recover 2.5% of the total token supply.

Analyst: BTC/USD Pair Trading Volume on CEX Continues to Decline Since July 2022, a Long-term Bullish Signal
CryptoQuant analyst Axel stated that after the LUNA crash, the weekly average trading volume of the BTC/USD pair on centralized exchanges (CEX) has been continuously declining—from a peak of 2.9 million in July 2022 to 426,000 in yesterday's trading session.
