Okay its story-time: the first thing I do at FarCon in NYC is attend the @clankeronbase event in SoHo. It is crowded, so I decide to bounce early. Walk to the elevator and it is full, wait for the next one. When it opens I see him: the dude who nearly ruined my life.
TL;DR - It turns out that @_proxystudio is our disgraced former teammate @gabagooldoteth. I can personally vouch that @JackDishman had absolutely no idea and handled the situation perfectly. The @clankeronbase team has the full support of myself and the @AerodromeFi team.
