I’m curious, does anyone know Thomas, or how did they amass 100M in ETH? The websites provide absolutely no identity of anyone involved (as is very common for crypto). The Twitter account is 4 months old.

No mention of the person or the Arrow company on the internet previous to this episode seems to exist. Other than looking at the chain records, how should we believe that any of these stories are true?

I know of Thomas through the Rocketpool community Discord (a decentralized Ethereum staking pool). He's a regular on there. And I'm one of 90ish members in the Arrow Discord. It's a super early stage startup that's still in the conceptualization phase. I don't know how he got his capital, I don't know his background. But he's been an engaged member of the RPL community and seems genuine in his interest for drone transportation. A lot of this is still available in the Discord chat history.

when he invites you to get in on the ground floor of an amazing opportunity, I suggest you take him up on it. He's rich so it definitely won't be a scam!

My impression of him is that he's a decent guy who got targeted by scammers who knew he was rich. I've participated in the ground floor of plenty of opportunities. Some of them work out, some of them don't. But the ones that do more than make up for the ones that don't.
