There are a few points to keep in mind while you are reading this research about the strongest narrative regarding the Shiba Inu deployer and its creator, Ryoshi.
- Who am I and why am I writing this?
- There is a difference between the creator and those FOUR individuals that now control the deployer. Maybe this will be unpublished until THE OTHERS come.
- This narrative does not effect the current projects/ecosystems being developed. It is unbiased in nature and not meant insinuate negativity.
- This research only accounts for those events that happened prior to the launch of Shiba Inu.
Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF)/ Alameda Research
Backstory: SBF is the founder of Alameda Research and Former CEO of fallen exchange, FTX. SBF is accused of committing fraud on an enormous scale, alleging that he diverted billions of dollars of investor funds to buy real estate, make political donations and prop up his cryptocurrency trading hedge fund, Alameda Research. Alameda Research was founded in November 2017. FTX launched in May 2019.
The SHIB deployer was first used on February 18th, 2018 and the owner didn’t create Shiba Inu contract until July, 2020. Between the first use of the deployer address and the creation of the Shiba Inu contract, the user was involved in 7 non-stable erc20 projects. 4 of them were strongly connected. Ryoshi was an “experienced trader” as he once said. Lets look at the cases below.
Karma DAO
First purchase: July 22, 2020 when Karma DAO had launch
TXID: https://etherscan.io/tx/0xc950425d91c86e82d84f5817fee52a7f05b91bc6c5751cc6b114905a2b0a1241
Evidence: SBF was seen actively in the project near the same time period.
AMPL
First purchase: July 22, 2020
TXID: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x5e9c386591668253e180843f5a39f273a89686b69c1cd489999e645d245b4830
Evidence: SBF is a known investor of AMPL and he promoted/listed on FTX at same time on his Twitter.
SBF promoted AMPL heavily at the same time of the SHIB deployer wallet transacting with that project.
DeFi Nation Signals DAO
First purchase: July 27, 2020
TXID: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x5ad4723839ef56d5fa6841b38ca7bba0c489e803a363045c659734ed07ff2685
Evidence: The evidence at best for this small project is interesting.
The wallet that bought DSD directly after seems to be some exchange/vc wallet with millions of dollars worth of tokens. https://etherscan.io/tx/0x4d9bafe4203ef9e96458bf2b6b0e358c6f0c74ca88ab68102d9fe575557d9c8f
I couldn’t find any online sources directly connecting SBF or Alemada to DSD, However I did speak with one of the DSD members. She believes that they were one of the early investors of the project.
Darwinia Commitment Token (KTON)
First Interaction: July 27th, 2020
TXID: https://etherscan.io/tx/0xe6f04129003cc38d5bd089b9f038657356d5c2171f87c67508a4b586ce5ab39a
Evidence: Darwinia is an investment of Alameda Research
Other Coincidental Evidence
Back in February 2021, Ryoshi on his official Twitter account replied to a comment about leaving an Ethereum address. All his tweets have since been deleted but we can recover using the web archive function.
He posted this wallet address before it received its first transaction. Which means it was a freshly minted address when he commented. Why did he do that?
It turns out that Ryoshi was following Omega Research advice about commenting an unfunded wallet address because its untraceable.
Omega Research Twitter is restricted and has only a few followers. I thought it was interesting and possibly a connection somewhere down the line.
So after some searching, I found a possible link to SBF.
Ryoshi has links to Omega Research, and now we see Omega Research connected to Sushi Swap which SBF is taking over. Not to mention that Chef Nomi is also SBF as well based on other evidence. For example, Chef Nomi last words on Twitter, “To everyone. I fucked up. And I am sorry.” SBF had used a similar line after the news came out about FTX insolvency, “I’m sorry. That’s the biggest thing. I fucked up, and should have better.”
The Alameda NFT
Some exchanges when you deposit to them, they don’t change the wallet address. According to the following research, Ryoshi deposited to Bitkub from the SHIB deployer. This happened around the same time as the evidence above in 2020. There is speculation that someone is trying to make it look like Alameda owns the Legendary SBF NFT and trying to sell for a high price. However, this doesn’t explain the wallet connection. This portion of research is third party led by Conor Grogan.
Conclusion
Much of this research could be pure coincidental because FTX/Alameda were huge players in this space. While this Research is limited mostly to pre Shiba Inu launch, it is the strongest narrative that the creator known as Ryoshi, is/or connected directly to Sam Bankman-fried, Caroline Ellison & Alameda Research. Ryoshi is the greatest mystery in DeFi. Remember the points from the beginning? The original creator is not in charge now. There are 4 OTHER individuals known as Ryoshi. There are always those that seek the truth. What do you think anon?
