Recently, Ben.eth, the founder of the PSYOP token, has been surrounded by controversy for handling the presale. In a letter sent via NFT, a law firm known as Loevy & Loevy, sent a letter via NFT demanding that Ben.eth refund all presale buyers or face a class-action lawsuit. The letter accuses him of intentionally misleading buyers and reneging on promises. It also warns of potential legal consequences, including wire fraud and treble damages.
And, to be clear, the term “fuck up” is overly generous to you. There is every reason for a jury to find that you intentionally misled the buyers, having made and reneged on serial promises and used a manipulative launch strategy with the way you structured the LP pools and trickled out the tokens. At a minimum, you would be guilty of wire fraud, which is a predicate act for racketeering and the basis for a treble damages award against you (7 million becomes $21 million).

In response, Ben.eth called the lawyers “true grifters” and claimed to own nothing in his name. Many of the community have disapproved of the letter; some call it unprofessional and embarrassing, “Ok I won’t lie, this is a terribly written letter- it can’t be real.“
Lawyers, the true grifters.
I haven’t had a bank account in years, and own nothing in my name. I laugh at you. $PSYOP. https://t.co/D9f8Akacnm

In a previous tweet, he warned token holders not to move their PSYOP tokens if they want to receive extra tokens in the future, and he has promised not to sell his PSYOP supply, only give it out to holders.
I WILL NEVER SELL THE $PSYOP SUPPLY I HOLD. ONLY GIVE OUT TO HOLDERS. DID THE SAME WITH $BEN.
