John Deaton commented on an interview in which the host asked Worldcoin co-creators Alex Blania and Sam Altman to elaborate on the distribution of WLD tokens. However, Blania declined to answer that question, citing regulatory uncertainty in the US.
John Deaton called Blania’s words a “red flag” signaling a possible negative attitude from influential individuals toward these tokens. The lawyer said such regulatory chaos was deliberately created by unscrupulous regulators such as the SEC and its chairman Gary Gensler.
“Did you hear what this guy just said? If ever there was a signal to get out of a project as quickly as possible, this is it. They are afraid to tell you what and how you are acquiring because they can be sued for it. Either he’s smart and just follows the advice of a lawyer or he’s just an idiot,” Deaton indignantly tweeted.
Last week, Worldcoin’s founders announced that the number of registered users on the project had already reached two million. A few days ago, the largest crypto exchange Binance opened trading pairs WLD/BTC and WLD/USDT. This token has also appeared on the Gate.io and KuCoin exchanges.
