Deep Tide TechFlow News, on November 19, ai16z partner Shaw stated on social media, "What you are actually buying is a token intentionally named after us to deceive you. It deceives our own partner developers into thinking this is our partner's token. Many people come to our Discord talking about 'ai16zeliza', unaware that this is not ours. I do not call that token a scam, that is out of goodwill. I will respect the airdrop of your scam tokens, as I said I would, but the behavior of many of you really does not deserve that."
