Backpack CEO: The team did not cash out through OTC, and the short-term FDV has no practical significance

Backpack founder Armani Ferrante posted a response to recent community FUD, addressing topics such as OTC trading, Mad Lads equity, witch hunts, and token prices.

Armani stated that the team will not sell their tokens through OTC to cash out, and their previous comments about OTC were only to assist buyers in finding tokens. All users holding Mad Lads tokens before the TGE will retain their Backpack VIP status, while new users will not enjoy this status.

Additionally, Armani emphasized that the FDV value 24 hours or a week after the TGE is not practically significant, and short-term FDV is not a core metric. The team's interests are deeply tied to the success of the token; if the token price goes to zero, the team will not be able to earn profits.

Regarding witch hunts, he acknowledged that the team's previous handling was too mechanical and did not fully consider the complexity of community dimensions. The team is currently re-evaluating relevant cases. The team is continuing to advance the review of witch hunt cases and return to development work.
