At least 137 scam tokens have claimed that the Shiba Inu deployer sent them tokens from its wallet, which has been inactive since October 2021. These projects are promoted as backed by “Ryoshi,” SHIB’s pseudonymous founder, to gain investors’ trust. Mazrael, a longtime member of the SHIB community, revealed that the scammers fabricated more than 9,131 transfers affecting over 2,500 wallets, with no transaction signed by the official deployer. Etherscan lets users verify the actual sender address of each transaction, which is not the SHIB deployment wallet. The official deployer, 0xB8f2…FA08, only deployed the SHIB contract and has no public signed message on record, while LEASH, BONE and TREAT came from separate deployers.
