This enabled them to promote fraudulent CLAWD meme coins on Solana.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><a href="https://twitter.com/steipete/status/2016079236780449975" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"></a></blockquote>Peter Steinberger, founder of the previously known ClawdBot, stated on X, "I will never do a coin," aiming to clarify the scam. Steinberger affirmed he won’t accept token fees, marking motive behind fake coins.Reportedly, CLAWD meme coins experienced a sharp increase in trading volume, initially peaking at over $16 million. The fraudulent venture eventually plummeted near zero after Steinberger's public denouncement.Although Steinberger disavowed involvement, scams like CLAWD show the <a href="https://twitter.com/wublockchain12/status/2016078002443190428" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">volatile nature of meme-based tokens</a>. These incidents risk small investor losses due to unsubstantiated hype.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><a href="https://twitter.com/wublockchain12/status/2016078002443190428" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"></a></blockquote>GitHub/X hijacking intensified community confusion, with the original @ClawdBot account removed. Steinberger is working with GitHub to recover access and urged users to cease harassment.Similar cases in the crypto world illustrate the need for user caution. Developers are advised to clearly communicate non-involvement, focusing on software commitment over speculative assets.<blockquote> "I will never do a coin. Any project that lists me as coin owner is a SCAM." - <a href="https://dev.to/sivarampg/from-clawdbot-to-moltbot-how-a-cd-crypto-scammers-and-10-seconds-of-chaos-took-down-the-4eck" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Peter Steinberger, Founder, Moltbot</a></blockquote><a href="https://coinlive.me/fake-clawd-meme-coins-solana-scam-alert/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read original article on coinlive.me</a>
