Founder of $PSYOP promises to refund victims of Steve Aoki Twitter hack phishing scam

Ben.eth, the founder of $PSYOP, has promised to refund victims of a phishing scam that was perpetuated using a fake airdrop link for the $PSYOP memecoin. The scam was carried out by hackers who had compromised Steve Aoki's Twitter account. Ben.eth had unwittingly quote-tweeted the post containing the phishing link, leading to roughly $170,000 in losses for those exposed to the link. Following the hack, Ben.eth suggested that Aoki's account was most likely hacked by disgruntled investors who missed the presale and are now trying to recoup their unrealized gains.
