The CTO of Monkephone has publicly accused the Moonshot project and its leader, Sidewinder, of fraud and manipulation. In a post on the X platform, the CTO alleged that Moonshot failed to deliver on promises of internal support, including KOL resources, financial backing, exchange listings, and market value management. He also accused Moonshot of manipulating the Moondoge pre-sale and exploiting investors through deceptive packaging mechanisms. The CTO expressed regret for trusting Moonshot and relaying their promises, which led to personal and reputational losses. He claimed that Moonshot's actions were not aimed at supporting ecosystem projects but rather at misleading developers and funds with false assurances. This accusation has sparked widespread discussion within the community, echoing previous concerns raised by Mooncoin developers and others about Moonshot's integrity and business practices.
