According to BlockBeats, Jack Dishman, a member of the Clanker team, announced that they have become aware of past misconduct by proxystudio (@proxystudio.eth) during previous work engagements. As a result, the Clanker team has decided to sever ties with proxystudio. The operations and assets of Clanker remain unaffected by this decision, and an immediate transition plan is being implemented with updated multi-signature ownership.

Clanker was initially launched by Jack Dishman and proxystudio. Recently, during the FarCon offline event, Aerodrome founder Alex Cutler identified proxystudio as Gabagool. Gabagool was involved in the misappropriation of approximately $350,000 from the Velodrome team, although the funds were eventually returned under pressure.
