On April 16th, MANTRA co-creator JP Mullin released a statement saying that it is destroying its own team tokens and will create a comprehensive destruction process for the rest of the OM supply. JP Mullin added that it cannot make any statement on what impact this will have on the value of OM, but it is doing so to demonstrate consistency and long-term support for OM and MANTRA, and to build trust in the market. MANTRA team members have also privately expressed their support to JP Mullin.
