AltLayer's growth manager clarified in a post regarding the "insider" questioning: they did not have prior knowledge of the information and did not disclose it to others. The related selling behavior was a normal operation.

On January 27th, AltLayer Growth Manager Dorothy clarified on social media regarding the previously questioned "insider" airdrop event, stating that the OG Badge and Oh Ottie NFT series were minted two years ago as a fair community participation activity, and it was announced early on that there would be a future token airdrop. The community was also aware of this situation. Dorothy had also promoted the "airdrop" feature in public on multiple occasions, and as the main promoter of Otties, purchased some Otties for friends a year ago at a price of 0.3-0.59 ETH, one of which was for @mulan_0x. Dorothy stated that he did not know the exact date and time of ALT's listing on Binance before the announcement was made. For a venture capitalist, it is normal to profit from a poorly liquid NFT series that experiences abnormal price fluctuations. @mulan_0x listed the NFT on Blur the day before the announcement, and she wanted to buy a Pudgy Penguins, which was a coincidence that it was close to the announcement date.
