rubric v1.7.0

Team other-protocol involvement history

Meteora's assessment for RD-F-113 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Ben Chow: prior roles at Jupiter Aggregator (co-founder), WishWell. No confirmed prior rug or exit-scam in pre-Meteora history. Meow: Jupiter co-founder, Instadapp/Fluid/Kyber/Blockfolio adviser, Handshake contributor — clean prior track record. HOWEVER: the Hurlock v. Kelsier amended complaint (SDNY 1:25-cv-03891, filed 2025-04-19, amended 2025-07-29) alleges Chow was an active participant in M3M3, LIBRA, MELANIA, ENRON, and TRUST token manipulation schemes while at Meteora. These are alleged [?] but the litigation is active and the complaint is a filed court document. Yellow for material current-project involvement concern.
