Whatever happened to Far East Movement?
Far East Movement exploded onto the scene in 2010 with the release of their high-flying debut single "Like a G6."
For anyone who had recently turned 21 (or had an excellent fake ID) at the time, the anthem's rubbery beats and icy vocals likely evoke hazy memories of dancing in the club and tossing back shots in an attempt to get "slizzard." A collaboration with The Cataras and DEV, "Like a G6" soundtracked countless nights out and defined a time when pop was carefree and rowdy.
The quartet — originally comprised of Kev Nish, Prohgress, DJ Virman and J-Splif — rode the wave of their breakout success all the way to the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
In the process, Billboard reports that Far East Movement knocked fellow newcomer Bruno Mars from the pinnacle position. Not only that, but they were the first Asian-American band to cinch a No. 1 on the Hot 100.
Twelve years after hitting the scene hard, and we're all familiar with the trajectory of Bruno Mars' career. What about the club kings who managed to dethrone him…
Movement Labs, the development firm of the Movement network, has officially cut ties with co-founder Rushi Manche following controversy surrounding undisclosed MOVE token deals.
The announcement came via the company’s X account early Tuesday, stating that “Movement Labs has terminated Rushi Manche’s employment and all affiliations with the company effective immediately.”
It has yet to name a replacement or outline next steps for governance restructuring.
The decision follows a CoinDesk report that first revealed secret agreements between Movement-linked entities and market makers during the project’s token launch.
CoinDesk reported the existence of shadow advisors, hidden payment flows, and undisclosed token allocations surrounding MOVE’s debut. Manche was directly tied to those arrangements, according to internal documents and investor correspondence reviewed by CoinDesk.
Manche was initially suspended on May 2, shortly after Coinbase delisted the MOVE token. The delisting followed mounting community pressure on how the company operates behind-the-scenes and project governance.
MOVE prices are down 8.5% in the past 24 hours, a bulk of the slide coming after Manche’s termination. The token is down 35% in the past week.
Movement Labs, a blockchain company that aims to bring Facebook's Move Virtual Machine to Ethereum, has secured $38 million in a Series A financing round led by Polychain Capital.
The firm was founded by Rushi Manche, 21, and Cooper Scanlon, 24 – Vanderbilt college dropouts who say they are on a mission to "make blockchain security sexy" with the launch of Movement L2, their new layer-2 Ethereum blockchain based on the Move programming paradigm.
Manche said he got interested in Move after reading an article a few years ago, when he was still in college, about Facebook's efforts in the blockchain space.
"Security has never been a priority for the industry," Manche said in an interview. "It's always, like, '$100 million hack,' '$20 million attack' – we're so succumbed and numb to the attack issue when in reality, that's a huge issue for retail."
Move is today best known for its association with Aptos and Sui, layer-1 blockchains with a focus on low fees and high throughput. By extending the tech to an Ethereum layer-2 – a blockchain that writes data to Ethereum but offers faster and cheaper transactions – the Movement team hopes to achieve greater security and transaction…
