Fortnite Token (FNT) Is a Scam
Tim Sweeney announced that the Epic Games team is not behind the Fortnite token (FNT). Although the Fortnite Token seems to be using the Fortnite logo, it is not affiliated with Epic Games, the creators of the game, in any form.
The Fortnite Token (FNT) was launched in October 2021, claiming to be the official token for Fortnite, the world’s most popular game, and has an average userbase of 3 million users.
In a statement made on twitter, Sweeney firmly asserted: “You can’t use the Fortnite name and images without permission to market an unrelated product”.
Fortnite Tokens have been removed from Telegram following a complaint made by Epic Games. Sweeney has since stated that the Epic Games legal team is working on a lawsuit against the creators of the token.
FNT Creators Clap Back
The team behind the Fortnite Token has reacted to Sweeney’s comments, claiming that FNT isn’t a scam cryptocurrency project.
Reacting via the official Fortnite Token Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) handle, the team underlines that FNT is a “fair-launch, community-driven, Fortnite game fans-created cryptocurrency project with no specified owner or company structure behind it.”
