Hyperliquid's latest official clarification: The wallet that was discovered by the community, which was shorting $HYPE, indeed belonged to a former employee. This individual had their cooperation terminated in Q1 2024. The official statement is very clear—this person has no association with Hyperliquid Labs, and their trading behavior does not represent the standards and values of the team. This kind of attitude enhances the project's transparency and is a positive response to community oversight. Discussions of this kind, resembling "Whale monitoring" in the market, are quite common, and timely responses from the project party can effectively eliminate market doubts.

Former employees secretly shorted their own coin, and even the official had to clarify personally. This move is a bit hard to hold up.

The resigning employees are causing trouble, I've heard this trap too many times.
---
It's indeed good to clarify in a timely manner, but it should have been cut in Q1.
---
If the Whale monitoring trap could really eliminate doubts, that would be great, but reality often slaps us in the face.
---
At least they dare to admit it, which is much better than some projects that shift the blame.
---
Wait, is it really completely unrelated... I have a hard time believing that kind of guarantee.
---
Increasing transparency is a plus, but why does it feel a bit slow to respond?
---
Actually, I just want to see if anyone else surfaces later, it's too early to say anything now.

Former employees causing trouble is an old trap, the key is that the official response is quick, which indeed adds points.

Former employees are causing trouble, this trap of words is quite familiar, it would be great if it were true.
