Wintermute is accused of shorting MON Token while providing liquidity? The founder responded directly.

Question

The community recently exploded with discussions, as someone jumped out to accuse the well-known market maker Wintermute of shorting and playing people for suckers while providing market making for the MON Token.

In response to the doubts, Wintermute founder Evgeny Gaevoy directly confronted on X: “Don't talk nonsense, don't label without evidence.”

Someone asked: So are you going long or shorting MON?

Gaevoy was quite straightforward: “In fact, we are going long.”

Is this operation a clarification or a defense? The community seems to be watching. The trust issue between market makers and project parties has once again been brought to the forefront.

Uh, this is awkward. The market maker says that going long is going long? I suspect it&#39;s the same old trap again.

Market makers are the best at this trap, first they hard push against public opinion, then they take the opposite position with evidence. Believe it or not.

Uh, here we go again, saying go long just go long, anyway, I don&#39;t believe it.

Here we go again with the blame game, where&#39;s the evidence?

I&#39;ve seen this trick from market makers many times before, they say go long, but the Order Book has already reversed.

Tough talk is one thing, but on-chain data doesn&#39;t lie.

If you can&#39;t provide evidence, then stop the nonsense, this is the current state of Web3.

Go long? Then why is there always a shadow when dumping happens?

To be honest, I trust the actions of on-chain Wallets more than just words.

The tricks of market makers are an old story; if you can&#39;t provide on-chain data, don&#39;t pass the blame.

It&#39;s really ridiculous. I&#39;ve heard this kind of rhetoric from market makers too many times. Without evidence, they just bite back. This trick is old and tired.

If you&#39;re going long, just do it. Why wait for someone to ask before saying anything? Who would believe the first one to shift the blame?

Here we go again with the Crisis of Confidence. Web3 is like this; if you want to put it nicely, it&#39;s called transparency. If you want to put it bluntly, it&#39;s just mutual suspicion.

If you can&#39;t provide on-chain data to prove yourself, what&#39;s the point of just being tough with your words? I think it&#39;s dicey.

This situation is completely reversed. Those who are really going long have long since publicly disclosed their Holdings. Why wait to be questioned?

Wintermute really crashed this time and it feels like they owe a beating.
