PANews reported on February 18 that Jupiter co-founder meow said on the X platform: "As a co-founder of Meteora, I want to reiterate my confidence that no one at Jupiter or Meteora will engage in any insider trading or financial malpractice, nor will they obtain any tokens in an improper manner. Secondly, we are hiring an independent third party (law firm Fenwick & West) to investigate and publish a report, and they will publish the report independently. Third, I support Ben and his statement. He said there was no financial impropriety in dealing with partners, and I believe him. For more than a year, Meteora has been operating as an independent entity of Jupiter, and Ben has been operating it without my significant involvement. Although I have full confidence in Ben's character, as the project leader, Ben's lack of judgment and attention to the core aspects of the project in the past few months is unacceptable. Therefore, Ben has chosen to resign and will look for a new leader for Meteora. Ben has always been helpful in the ecosystem, and I hope everyone will remain friendly during his clarification of the facts."
