AzFlin Denies Rugpull Allegation, Calls it FUD
AzFlin denied rugging the FrensTech project and stated that he only removed the 1 ETH liquidity that he initially contributed. He justified selling a portion of the extracted tokens by explaining that he had acquired them with personal funds from his dev wallet.
Calls for Uniswap to Act
Despite AzFlin’s denial, on-chain transactions indicate a rug pull. The crypto community is urging Uniswap to address the issue, with some referencing AzFlin’s deleted tweet about team members selling coins.
