I want to thank everyone who helped notify Twitter/X on Tuesday and get them to shut down this account. I specifically want to thank @sriramk who not only helped with that but also helped me get the account back. He's awesome.

Hi Everyone. As many of you know, this account was taken over by a hacker on Tuesday and they ran an NFT scam on it. I feel terrible about that and am sorry for anyone who was scammed.

Introducing Coinbase’s new ERC-20 self-service asset recovery tool. A safe, simple, and secure way for our customers to recover almost 4,000 unsupported ERC-20 tokens.

4/ we are a small firm and wish we could back more founders/teams but it also is likely that we deliver on the promise because we don't take too much on
