Steven Cooper, the CEO of Bigger Entertainment took to Twitter to mention Shiba Inu after nearly nine months, only to call it a scam.
Cooper had worked relentlessly to ‘burn’ SHIB tokens through his music playlists and merchandise between 2021 and 2022. He dedicated significant effort and energy to removing SHIB tokens from circulation.

When a user question him if he still holds SHIB tokens, Cooper confirmed that he doesn’t own SHIB anymore. “I don’t hold any anymore. We did work really hard. Not just me. I had a small team dedicated to SHIB. We were all working around the clock. Everything we built was within 5-6 months so it’s sad to see how it unfolded,” he said.
