According to Foresight News, according to Cryptoslate, the anonymous lead developers of the MEME project Shiba Inu (SHIB), Shytoshi Kusama and Kaal Dhairya, were interviewed by Arabian Business and said that they entered the crypto industry because they were influenced by a super-rich passenger when they were Uber drivers, and then contacted Ryoshi, the anonymous creator of SHIB. Kusama and Dhairya plan to hand over control of the project to the community by the end of this year, and the project will have a dedicated committee to lead certain things by the end of the year. They both believe that there is no need to disclose their identities, saying, "We can sit in this coffee shop, there are no security guards outside, and no one recognizes me, which is actually more valuable than any money."
