I understand it was never a secret but it was also never a problem either for those that knew about it. It was never (to my knowledge) even discussed as a possible reason for others to avoid using Shuffle and members were never advised to take precautions before.
Yet for some unknown reason the OP decided to create this thread with an extensive amount of text and detail to advise anybody reading it about the possible dangers of using the Shuffle website.
He deliberately has not explained what drove him to create this thread yet is asking for transparency from the Shuffle team.
but before reading this thread how many people knew about the connection?
It was never a secret. Noah himself has talked about this in a video. He left FTX in 2021 while FTX issue happened on 2022.
The reason this thread exists is simple: due diligence. Just because something wasn’t a problem before doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be scrutinized now, especially in an industry as volatile as crypto. My goal is to ensure transparency and protect the community. If raising concerns about potential risks and demanding accountability makes you uncomfortable, then perhaps that says more about the situation than the thread itself. Transparency goes both ways.
