Scammers Are Stealing ClawdBot’s Name! You Won’t Believe What Happened Next!

by

So, here we go again! Peter Steinberger, the mastermind behind the open-source AI assistant known as ClawdBot-yeah, that guy-suddenly finds himself in a wild crypto circus. Apparently, he’s never issued a token, but lo and behold, some jokers are claiming he’s behind these meme coin scams. I mean, come on, how does that even happen? Did they think he was just sitting there saying, “You know what would be fun? Let’s get into the meme coin business!”?

Now, after a little rename drama-thanks to trademark issues, which sounds like a sitcom plot in itself-his GitHub and X accounts were hijacked. Can you imagine? One day, you’re minding your own business, and the next, you’re a victim of the great crypto identity theft. Just another Tuesday, right?

Founder Says ‘No Thanks’ to Token Madness

Steinberger, who recently decided to rebrand to Moltbot (because why not?), reported that a little hiccup during the name change allowed these scammers to swoop in like vultures on a roadkill buffet. He took to X-because where else do you air your grievances nowadays?-and pleaded with crypto fans to stop the relentless “harassment.” I mean, really, it’s like asking a dog not to bark.

“I will never do a coin,” he declared. “Any project that lists me as coin owner is a SCAM.” Wow, that’s a bold statement! Kind of like saying, “I’ll never eat another piece of cake” at a birthday party. We all know how that goes.

And then he said he won’t accept any token fees either. Like, maybe if you say it enough, the scammers will just pack up and leave. Spoiler: they won’t.

Meanwhile, the buzz around CLAWD-a Solana-based meme coin that nobody really understands but everyone seems to be talking about-has sent traders into a frenzy. Some crypto accounts are trying to connect this nonsense to ClawdBot, while others are just rolling their eyes and saying, “Not today, folks.”

On January 25, researcher Stitchdegen jumped in to clarify that CLAWD isn’t an official token, and good ol’ Steinberger has nothing to do with it. But, you know, crypto enthusiasts love a good scandal, so they’re still riding the wave of confusion. It’s like watching a reality show unfold, but with fewer Kardashians and more spreadsheets.

But wait, there’s more! While Steinberger’s dealing with this mess, some crypto trader named Kotonono Tsumugi decided to criticize him for being supposedly anti-crypto. Because, of course, in the world of memes and coins, if you don’t want to play, you’re the villain. And then there’s Latuche, making jokes about harassment like it’s all fun and games. Meanwhile, tech commentator Robert Scoble joins the party saying he’s also turned down token requests-like, wow, what a rebel!

The Never-Ending Meme Coin Saga

This whole ClawdBot debacle follows a classic trend in the crypto space, where every viral idea or public figure becomes the next target for a hastily thrown-together token. Earlier this month, an AI-themed coin called RALPH plummeted by 80% because someone linked to its creator decided to cash out. Talk about a trust fall! The creator claimed they had no idea what was happening. Classic!

Warnings are coming from all corners of the industry. Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao recently scolded traders for treating random tweets like investment gold. It’s like telling people not to invest their life savings into a blind date. Spoiler alert: it rarely ends well!

For Steinberger, the focus is clear: software, not speculation. He insists ClawdBot is just a fun little hobby project meant to inspire creativity, not a financial pressure cooker. Can I get an “amen” for common sense?
