PANews reported on November 4 that ZachXBT, an on-chain detective, revealed that multiple projects including SCALE, NTD, TPU and OPSEC were controlled by the same person "Zopp0", aiming to use a large number of KOLs to attract investors who are unaware of the truth. ZachXBT said that Zopp0 participated in key decisions as the owner of the OPSEC project behind the scenes, while paying others to act as "spokespersons" and discussing technical deficiencies in private Telegram groups. As early as March 2024, ZachXBT privately questioned Zopp0, but was lightly denied by him.
In addition, ZachXBT found that Zopp0 and its partner SZB made mistakes in the bundling process of NTD and TPU projects, and worried that their identities would be exposed. In April this year, ZachXBT warned some influential people that they were suspected of promoting these "AI GPU" gimmick projects, and the related tokens plummeted by more than 90% in one day. The promoters involved include CryptoGodJohn, TheCryptoKazi, Luke Belmar, Alex Becker, etc.
