According to ChainCatcher, CZ added to a post on social media titled "X account 'Wei威' with 863,000 followers is a potential scammer": Who would impersonate a BNB supporter and use fake AI images for months just to spread FUD? I can't think of any other possibility. It seems like it was done by some (self-important) competitor who pays more attention to us than to themselves.

This account appears to have previously belonged to a woman. Before February 2015, the account almost exclusively posted photos of women. Then, in July 2015, the account suddenly switched, starting to post only cryptocurrency-related content. Either the account was hacked or bought. They didn't even bother to delete the old photos. Those old photos can still be seen on his media page. What a lazy PR team.
