Stealing pennies in front of a steamroller? In the 64 hours before the buyback announcement, MNGO had a sus 50% rally. Data from @birdeye_so says the largest onchain buyer of MNGO during this period was a wallet owned by 🥁🥁🥁 CKS Systems, Max and John Kramer’s trading firm

First some context: Mango DAO recently executed a MNGO buyback proposal, using options to buy at a fixed price of ~3.45 cents. Before they announced their buyback plans, MNGO was trading at ~2.3 cents (having suspiciously rallied 50% over the previous two days)
