Dorothy, the growth lead of AltLayer, clarified on social media regarding the "insider" airdrop event that was previously questioned by KOLs, stating that the OG Badge and Oh Ottie NFT series were minted as a fair way for the community to participate in activities two years ago, and it was announced early on that there would be a token airdrop in the future, which the community was aware of. Dorothy also promoted the "airdrop" feature publicly on multiple occasions as the main promoter of Otties, and personally purchased some Otties for friends a year ago at a price of 0.3-0.59 ETH, one of which was for @mulan_0x.

Dorothy stated that he did not know the exact date and time of ALT's listing on Binance before the announcement was made. For a venture capitalist, it is normal to profit from settling in an NFT series with low liquidity after abnormal price fluctuations occur. @mulan_0x listed the NFT on Blur the day before the announcement date for a Pudgy Penguins, which was purely a coincidence as it was close to the announcement date.
