Is there any clarity on these spam accusations that have been filed?

What are you talking about?

I have read other user's commenting that this fork is just to steal your private keys and your monero
Also saw in open spaces of the Internet much that many warn against forks. Probably it is the truth that can lead to loss at first of keys, and then and coins. As all of us already know, there are such already examples. It of course is very sad

You have just believing the FUD from vicious ppl. Just wait to see the opensource wallet like the team is saying.
You cannot 'loss' anything to anyone if you practice safe forking like written on the official MoneroV website -

"How can I safely participate in the fork?

1. Hold XMR locally as you would at the time of the snapshot.
2. Wait for the official open-source MoneroV wallet announcement.
3. Download the MoneroV wallet ONLY from the official website or Github repo.
4. Extract XMV using the official wallet anytime in the future.

NOTE: You can extract the XMV from an empty/altered wallet that had XMR at the time of the snapshot. Meaning you can send your XMR to another wallet prior to extracting XMV."


Even if the wallet just doesn't straight up steal your coins (who knows? the source hasn't been published yet), there's still a risk to privacy. I think you need to read the article yourself.
