Odaily Planet Daily reports that today Blockworks stated that Movement co-founder Rushi Manche has temporarily stepped down, and multiple sources revealed that Rushi's personal account was once removed from the company's Slack group. In response, Rushi posted several updates on X to refute the rumors, first sharing a screenshot to prove that he is still part of the company’s Slack group, and then stating that his absence from internal company meetings is due to his participation in events in Asia. Rushi also accused Blockworks of unethical false reporting.
