yeah its kind of sad, because people have to then re-evaluate others they heard about who they also didn't believe the apologies of at the time
like the Hawk Tuah girl, or the Enron relaunch long form comedy routine that wound up with a short lived crypto token, and pretty much anyone with 15 minutes of fame or celebrities that drop a contract address
for the most part, they themselves actually are the victims of a roving band of deployers running the crypto launch convincing them they're part of something, and of course, the consumers have the choice of never getting involved
but the deployers are the ones that should face some form of accountability, or at least the public eye
