PANews reported on November 19 that ai16z co-founder Shaw posted again regarding the Eliza project controversy, saying: "The token you purchased was actually named after us by the creator to deceive you. It deceived our own partner developers into thinking it was our partner's token. Many people came to our Discord to discuss 'ai16zeliza' without realizing it was not ours. I didn't call the token a scam, it was out of kindness. I will respect the airdrop of your scam token because I said I would, but many of you really don't deserve it."
According to previous news, ai16z Lianchuang stated that Eliza was preempted by another team and they would not give up the Eliza project that they originally planned to launch .
