Nice. Was it Spez or Mr. Williams?

Alexis Ohanian, never heard of him but he's being called a co-founder.

I'm not sure anyone cares about $50 million. 1.5 billion dollars just flowed out of Solana in the last 24hrs, but usually news like this pumps the price.

Alexis is u/kn0thing on Reddit, one of the co-founders. He and Spez are considered the only ones, now that Aaron Swartz has been forgotten and erased.

Gossip tidbits - he bounces in-and-out of being a part of Reddit as it suits him and fellow investors. He was one of the major people responsible for Victoria (u/chooter) getting fired under Ellen Pao, and is the member of the board who resigned in 2020 with the condition that a black person be hired to replace him.

He plays political games and follows the money, and is just kinda slimy all around.
