Ben Zhou is the author of this recent allegation and this is the latest Pi Network
rebutal of the allegation.
Ben Zhou said what he said, and said what he believed right thing to do for waking up Pi fans or people who are attracted by Pi. He does a right thing and I respect him for this action.
Talk is cheap, the reality is supreme, and all I see with $Pi till now doesn't look like a scam to me, it's far better than the many shitcoins listed by even Binance, not to mention Bybit the author of more controversy that had listed more shitcoins that are Rug Pull in which millions of people had been swindled with their money in the name of crypto. Pi Network has suffered enough allegations and attacks from the beginning and I have a further reason to believe that it's political, $Pi doesn't look like a Ponzi to me.
Ben Zhou did not simply talk it for fun, and many people did not talk about it for fun. They did it with their deeply and heartfully willingness to help others, but it's up to you and others to continue their belief and bets in Pi coin.
In a sane world, Ben Zhou doesn't have that say, he should bury his face in shame.
If someone is to be countered and even be behind bars, it should be him with the cheating and atrocities being performed with their platform, especially the global branch. You may not notice this many of them, but I do daily, this guy is a huge bucket shop, deceit and swindlers, so I wonder what such like him would advise me on a project that is doing better than hundreds of what he had listed that I would believe.
Fine, there were allegations but I wonder why the government has not dealt harshly with Pi Network but allowed it to eventually list after many investigations.
You are the enemy if you don't cooperate with the big guys, that's what I see here.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/pi-network-responds-bybit-scam-claimsI just finished reading the cointelegraph article that you shared, and from what I read there, I learnt that Ben Zhou was angered by a post from an X user who has no affiliation with Pi network, who claimed that bybit KYB request to Pi network as a way to get verified to list Pi was rejected, this angered the CEO of Binance whom in response accused pi network of being a scam.
As much as the reason for the CEO doing or saying what he said was understandable, it's still very unprofessional of him to move on to lay such accusations without first making sure to verify every fact and ensure they are all authentic, really unprofessional considering his person and his value/importance to the society and the cryptocurrency community at large, boils down to the fact that no man is an island of knowledge no matter how influential they are.
