According to CoinWorld news, the CTO of the Monkephone project publicly accused Moonshot and its leader Sidewinder of serious fraud, breach of trust, and manipulation on the X platform. He stated that the Moonshot team promised internal support including KOL resources, funding, exchange listings, and market cap management at the project's outset, but ultimately failed to deliver.
The CTO claimed that Moonshot was previously suspected of manipulating the Moondoge presale and cashing out by exploiting investors' blind spots regarding the bundling mechanism. He pointed out that he initially trusted Moonshot and relayed their promises to others, ultimately leading to personal losses and damage to his reputation. He emphasized that Moonshot had no intention of genuinely supporting projects within the ecosystem, but instead guided developers and funds to its platform through false promises.
This statement also provides evidence for similar doubts raised by Mooncoin developers and other community members, sparking widespread discussion about the integrity and operational model of the Moonshot platform.
