耗資2.5億美元的索拉納醜聞：據稱Kelsier，Jupiter和Meteora如何利用Libra的流動性來兌現，而日常交易者則損失了數十億美元

2月14日，在加密貨幣市場中本來應該是另一天，這變成了自FTX（FTT）崩潰以來索拉納（Sol）最大的醜聞之一。

Hayden Davis, the CEO of Kelsier Ventures, is accused of orchestrating liquidity manipulation schemes that allowed insiders to cash out at the top of the LIBRA pump-and-dump.

Kelsier Ventures的首席執行官Hayden Davis被指控精心策劃流動性操縱計劃，該計劃使內部人士可以在天秤座的泵送和降點頂部兌現。

According to blockchain data, wallets linked to Kelsier were among the earliest accumulators of LIBRA tokens. These wallets dumped their holdings at the peak, leaving the public scrambling to sell before the crash.

根據區塊鏈數據，與Kelsier相關的錢包是天秤座代幣的最早蓄能器之一。這些錢包在山頂上拋棄了股份，使公眾爭先恐後地出售。

While Davis has denied any direct wrongdoing, his explanations have done little to convince skeptics. He admitted to controlling over $100 million tied to the project but insisted it wasn’t his. “It’s Argentina’s,” he said in an interview.

儘管戴維斯否認任何直接的不法行為，但他的解釋並沒有說服懷疑論者。他承認控制了與該項目有關的超過1億美元，但堅持不是他的。他在接受采訪時說：“這是阿根廷的。”

Kelsier's role in the LIBRA launch became even more evident when Davis personally introduced Kelsier to Meteora, a liquidity provider that played a crucial role in facilitating trades that allowed insiders to cash out at the top.

當戴維斯親自將Kelsier引入Meteora時，Kelsier在天秤座發布會中的作用變得更加明顯，Meteora是一家流動性提供商，在促進交易中發揮了至關重要的作用，允許內部人員兌現最高的交易。

Meteora's deep involvement in the token's liquidity mechanics quickly drew attention as the collapse of LIBRA unfolded.

隨著天秤座的崩潰，Meteora對代幣的流動性機制的深入參與很快引起了人們的注意。

Unlike typical meme coins, where developers provide their own liquidity, Meteora actively managed LIBRA's liquidity pools, giving it direct control over the token's market behavior.

與典型的模因硬幣（開發人員提供自己的流動性）不同，Meteora積極管理天秤座的流動性池，使其直接控制著令牌的市場行為。

The first cracks appeared on Feb. 17, when DefiTuna founder Moty Povolotsky publicly confronted Meteora co-founder Ben Chow, accusing Meteora of creating a system that allowed insiders and influencers to cash out at peak prices while leaving retail traders with nothing.

第一批裂縫出現在2月17日，當時Defituna創始人Moty Povolotsky公開面對Meteora的聯合創始人Ben Chow，指責Meteora創建了一個系統，該系統允許內部人士和影響者以高峰價格兌現，同時將零售商留下任何一無所有。

Surfaced chats further alleged that the liquidity structure of LIBRA resembled that of MELANIA, another token where Meteora had taken a 1% cut from its peak $100 million liquidity pool.

浮出水面聊天進一步聲稱，天秤座的流動性結構類似於梅拉尼亞的流動性結構，梅拉尼亞的流動性結構是梅拉尼亞（Melania）的流動性結構，而梅拉尼亞（ Melania）的流動性結構從其峰值降低了1億美元的流動性庫中降低了1％。

In response, Chow denied any involvement in insider trading. In a Feb. 17 statement, he insisted, “Meteora and I personally have never received or managed any tokens on the side, do not receive knowledge or get involved with any off-chain dealings.”

作為回應，Chow否認任何參與內部交易的參與。在2月17日的聲明中，他堅持說：“我和我個人從未收到或管理任何代幣，沒有獲得知識或參與任何鍊子交易。”

However, while rejecting accusations of financial misconduct, Chow admitted that he had personally referred Davis and Kelsier Ventures to other projects, including MELANIA and LIBRA.

但是，在拒絕對金融不當行為的指控的同時，Chow承認他親自將戴維斯和凱爾西爾風險投入到其他項目，包括梅拉尼亞和天秤座。

On Feb. 18, Chow announced his resignation from Meteora. According to Meow, co-founder of both Jupiter and Meteora, the decision was made because Chow had shown “a lack of judgment and care” in handling Meteora's operations.

2月18日，Chow宣布從Meteora辭職。根據木星和埃泰拉的聯合創始人默維（Meow）的說法，這一決定之所以做出決定，是因為Chow在處理Meteora的行動中表現出“缺乏判斷力和關心”。

Meow defended Chow's character, stating, “Ben has been an extremely helpful and kind participant in the ecosystem for a while now, as many people can attest. I ask everyone not to jump to conclusions and be as kind to him as possible as he seeks to clear his name.”

Meow為Chow的角色辯護，他說：“ Ben一直是一段時間以來在生態系統中的非常有幫助和友善的參與者，因為許多人都可以證明。我要求每個人不要得出結論，對他盡可能友善，就像他試圖清除自己的名字一樣。”

Despite Meow's statement and Chow's resignation, the damage to Meteora's reputation was significant. Accusations of insider trading and financial misconduct continued to swirl around the platform.

儘管Meow發表了聲明和Chow的辭職，但對Meteora聲譽的損害還是很大的。內幕交易和金融不當行為的指控繼續在平台周圍旋轉。

Unlike Meteora, Jupiter didn't directly manage LIBRA's liquidity pools. But as the primary venue for LIBRA trading, its infrastructure had facilitated much of the market movement.

與Meteora不同，木星沒有直接管理天秤座的流動性池。但是，作為天秤座交易的主要場所，其基礎設施促進了市場的大部分發展。

Then there was the issue of leadership. Jupiter and Meteora shared a co-founder—Meow. Despite operating as separate entities for over a year, this connection raised concerns.

然後是領導問題。木星和流星分享了一個聯合創始人-Meow。儘管作為獨立實體運行了一年多，但這種聯繫引起了人們的關注。

If Meteora had insider liquidity mechanics in place, was Jupiter aware? Did anyone at Jupiter use their knowledge of the liquidity setup to gain an unfair advantage?

如果Meteora有內幕流動性機制，木星知道嗎？木星上的任何人是否利用他們對流動性設置的知識來獲得不公平的優勢？

Meow broke his silence on Feb. 18, stating, “I’d like to reiterate my confidence that no one at Jupiter or Meteora committed any insider trading or financial wrongdoing, or received any tokens inappropriately.”

默維（Meow）在2月18日打破了沉默，他說：“我想重申我的信心，即木星或流星沒有人進行任何內幕交易或財務不當行為，或者收到任何代幣不當。”

He insisted that while Meteora had been running independently, Chow had made serious errors in judgment, which led to his resignation.

他堅持認為，儘管埃泰拉（Meteora）獨立跑步，但喬（Chow）在審判中犯了嚴重的錯誤，這導致了他的辭職。

But not everyone was convinced. On Feb. 17, a wallet linked to a Jupiter employee was flagged for making small trades on LIBRA before the crash.

但是並不是每個人都相信。 2月17日，與木星員工相關的錢包被標記為在墜機前在天秤座進行小型交易。

The transactions were minor — ranging from $10 to $250 — but suggested that someone inside Jupiter may have had early knowledge of the token’s liquidity structure.

交易很小，從10美元到250美元不等 - 但建議木星內的某人可能早就知道了令牌的流動性結構。

Jupiter's leadership responded to all the allegations by announcing an independent legal review of the LIBRA controversy. But the firm they selected — Fenwick & West — immediately drew criticism.

木星的領導人通過宣布對天秤座爭議的獨立法律審查來回應所有指控。但是他們選擇的公司（Fenwick＆West）立即引起了批評。

Fenwick & West had previously been linked to FTX's legal dealings, specifically in helping Sam Bankman-Fried blur the lines between FTX and Alameda Research.

Fenwick＆West先前曾與FTX的法律交易有聯繫，特別是幫助Sam Bankman Fried Blur Blur FTX和Alameda Research之間的界限。

Many in the Solana community saw this as an attempt to control the narrative rather than uncover the truth.

索拉納社區中的許多人認為這是控制敘事而不是揭露真相的嘗試。

After backlash, Meow admitted that Jupiter might reconsider its choice of legal counsel. But by then, the damage was already done.

在反彈之後，Meow承認木星可能會重新考慮其對法律顧問的選擇。但是到那時，損壞已經造成。
