On March 7th, Manus co-founder and chief scientist Yichao Peak Ji (Ji Yichao) released a statement on X saying: "Our official X account (@ManusAI_HQ) was accidentally frozen yesterday. We are actively working with the X team to resolve the matter. Initial observations indicate that this freeze may be related to third-party mentions of cryptocurrency scams. To clarify: Manus has never been involved in cryptocurrency projects, token offerings, or blockchain schemes. Any cryptocurrency businesses with similar names claiming to be associated with us are fraudulent. We are taking legal action against these impostors and encourage users to report suspicious accounts.
