Peter Steinberger, creator of the open-source AI assistant ClawdBot, has denounced all crypto links after scammers took over his former online accounts to promote fake tokens. ClawdBot was rebranded to Moltbot due to trademark issues with Anthropic, but operational errors allowed scammers to seize the original accounts. Despite Steinberger’s clear denial of any crypto involvement, persistent harassment from crypto scammers continues, highlighting security and reputational risks for open-source AI projects amid crypto hype.
