How are they contradicting each other? People have made a lot of wild speculations, but CZ didn't imply any wrong doing at all. Just sounded like he just wants to continue doing exactly what he's doing now and not pursue other avenues. Which is perfectly fine of course.
zoidberg said he didn't think the suggestions boded well for BBR's future, which is probably why people think it's shady rather than simply alternative.
No. He did not. He said he got an offer from some outside investors. He didn't think their offer boded well for BBR. He was working on an alternate plan - the one that I pre-announced - but decided not to go forward at this time. Its not completely off the table - or some variant thereof.
People just like drama - so they make up words like "shady" to stir things up.
