Odaily Planet Daily report: CZ shared content from BNB Chain on X and called this guy basically a scammer. Stay SAFU!

Previously, BNB Chain stated that the TST address was created by a former employee and used in a video tutorial to generate tokens; this individual is no longer with the company due to this incident. After leaving, the former employee retained unauthorized access to the associated mnemonic phrase and used it to generate new private keys. BNB Chain has learned that the same address is now being independently used for a new meme token. BNB Chain did not create, authorize, promote, or participate in the creation of this token and has no control over the token or the wallet address, which are unrelated to and not endorsed by BNB Chain. BNB Chain is taking legal action against the former employee and is cooperating with relevant authorities regarding this matter.
