Aqua1 and Web3Port: Dodging or Dancing Around the Truth?
Silverman, who is no stranger to digging into Trump’s crypto dealings, raised the issue of Aqua1’s dubious public footprint: a vague website, suspended social media accounts, and the ever-elusive “Dave Lee.” In a follow-up on his personal site, Silverman went all detective mode, analyzing LinkedIn and conference appearances to conclude that Lee is, indeed, David Li from Web3Port. Oh, how the plot thickens!
Aqua1 responded on X, claiming to “operate independently” with no “equity, financial or operational ties to any unrelated entity.” Bold words! But, they conveniently avoided naming Web3Port. Classic move! Oh, and they hinted at pursuing legal action for “defamatory or factually incorrect” reporting. Threats of lawsuits? How very corporate of them.
Silverman’s investigation revealed one particularly spicy tidbit: Aqua1 and Web3Port share the same server IP address — not the kind of coincidence you want in the crypto world. Aqua1 initially shrugged this off, but when Silverman pressed, Lee responded that it was merely “transitional hosting” during the “early stages.” Oh, well, that explains everything, right? 🙄
What Aqua1’s Silence Really Means
Does Aqua1 have ties to Web3Port? Or is Lee just a coincidence collector?
Aqua1’s Promise of Transparency: Can It Be Trusted?
Aqua1’s statement insists it operates “independently” from “unrelated entities,” yet conveniently dodges the one question that matters: Is Web3Port one of those “unrelated entities”? The ambiguity is as thick as a fog, and no amount of transitional hosting explanations can clear it up.
Until Aqua1 comes clean about its founder’s true identity and the nature of its connections, the media scrutiny will only intensify. As for Lee’s claims about shared IP addresses and moving staff around — well, they only serve to raise more questions than answers. Funny how transparency works, right?
Silverman’s follow-up questions remain unanswered, as of publication. Will Aqua1 ever give us the juicy details we crave? Only time will tell. But for now, the mystery continues. 🕵️♂️
