Brian (BRIAN)

Hi,

I just got back from a day out with the kid.
The current situation (I'm basically running on partial info still, but wanted to put out a reply).
- Token launched on ToshiMart. Runs to a few M market cap.
- Original dev is seemingly a rugger? Posted a drainer link on the X account from what I understand.
- Token is a few hours old/young.
- We were asked to reroute the dev fees to a third party (Snotty) within the first day of launch, which is an incredibly arbitrary decision to take on our end.
- We don't have a strong protocol in place at ToshiMart for situations like this, and that is something we can build with this knowledge
- As the cleanest CTO in history, we deeply care about CTOs clearly. Any CTO needs to logically either have the support of the community, or clearly needs to have done enough to warrant the CTO Lead title.

So the long story short, we told Snotty that we are looking to route the fees to a wallet and then temporarily hold it there and route it to what is deemed the true CTO. We at no point are looking to hold any of those funds. We just aren't looking to keep feeding the original rugger.

At no point will ToshiMart team inject liquidity in any of the assets or do anything that could look like a specific ToshiMart token has our preference over other assets and/or has our involvement. Both for optics and legal.

PS. When we CTO'd Toshi, we did so for the love of the game, with belief in the project. We took ample time asking the community for their blessing and support. We do understand that not every project has a similar path ahead of it that allows for such time spent with an incredibly young community of mostly just holders, not community members yet. So this is not a comparison.

the developer for $BRIAN abandoned the project and the token immediately pumped 102% because the market literally priced his complete absence as a fundamental upgrade.
