The Zishi vs Airkin drama doesn't add up if you follow the money.
If Zishi really made tens of millions frontrunning listings (as @airkin_ claims), why would he scam $360k in listing fees? Split with DOV, that's $180k each. For someone allegedly printing millions on insider trades, a $180k rug makes zero sense. Frontrunning is cleaner, no evidence trail, no refund drama.
Logic says: if Zishi wanted money, he'd list the token and dump on retail. No listing = no profit for him. So why would he scam chump change?
Two possibilities:
1. Zishi isn't a frontrunner at all, just a listing fee scammer. But no other victims have come forward after all this noise.
2. Someone's feeding Airkin poison. He vents about the fee drama to friends over drinks, enemies of Zishi see an opening and feed him every rumor they've got. Airkin gets angrier, confronts Zishi. Zishi's insulted ("You think I'd scam $360k after making tens of millions?"), fires back. Both escalate.
Result? Nobody wins:
• Airkin didn't get his money back
• People backing Airkin want Zishi dead
• People backing Zishi want Airkin dead
• Yijie (Zishi's partner) is pissed at the FUD
• Airkin's crew is pissed at his leaked dirt
Only winners? The trolls handing both sides knives and watching the bloodbath.
Both need to cut off the instigators. This beef benefits nobody except the chaos agents.
