Bomb Claim: Mysterious Ethereum Advisor, SHIB Inventor?

Claims that Shiba Inu (SHIB) founder Ryoshi, who has remained anonymous until today, is actually a member of the Ethereum team, is worth following.

The true identity of the SHIB founder has been revealed!

According to allegations made by YouTuber Ben Armstrong (BitBoy), the founder of Shiba Inu was actually a member of the Ethereum team. But more interesting is the connection that Coinbase’s Director of Project Strategy and Business Operations, Conor Grogan, established last week between Ryoshi and the famous Sam Bankman-Fried.

Grogan made connections between the anonymous SHIB founder and Sam Bankman-Fried’s company, Alameda Research, suggesting that SBF is Ryoshi:

Later, YouTuber Ben Armstrong claimed that one of the founders of Unification (FUND), an Ethereum-based platform, could be Ryoshi. Unification founders denied these claims. Another YouTuber involved in the discussion, Digital Asset Investor, revealed with his evidence that Ryoshi is actually a developer from the Ethereum team…

Shiba Inu dog, Vitalik Buterin, Thomas Greco

In response to the latest speculation, Digital Asset Investor has turned its eyes to Thomas Greco, a mysterious figure in the early days of Ethereum.

Specifically, the first clue that he might be Ryoshi is when Ryoshi appears in an attached image at the end of his first Medium blog with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum Foundation Executive Director Aya Miyaguchi, and two other unidentified people in Japan. The picture is said to have been taken during Devcon 2019, with a YouTube video from Coin Bureau identifying him as Ryoshi two years ago.

Is SHIB founder actually Thomas Greco?

Searches on behalf of Thomas Greco do not yield much and are often tied to a community economist who writes about alternative monetary exchange solutions such as private credit clearing systems, complementary currencies and local currencies. However, add the Ethereum keyword and you’ll find a handful of videos where the so-called Ethereum advisor can be seen with Buterin or talking at Ethereum events, and articles citing him as an advisor on the OmiseGo project as well.

In a 2018 Buterin interview with the Financial Times that popped up in the search, Greco is described as a “collaborator” and “developer” with whom Buterin claims to have worked with for years. In an Epicenter Podcast episode with Laura Shin 11 months ago, while reviewing the book “The Cryptonians” that also appeared in the search, the journalist, who was citing information from members of the Ethereum Foundation at the time, identified Greco as a close friend of Buterin.

Meanwhile, Greco could be seen at almost every event with Buterin as of 2017.

Shib’s founder’s name revealed

BitBoy’s claims suggest that the real name of the founder of the Shiba Inu is ‘Neyma Jahan’. This person is one of the founders of Unification. Twitter account: @neyma. Neyma later gave some information about himself in response to BitBoy’s claims:

The scandal surrounding the Shiba Inu was not confined to Ryoshi’s true identity. cryptocoin.comAs we have reported, Shibarium is said to be a ‘copy’ of another network and the community is very concerned about it.
