Jake, another co-founder of Rug.AI, an AI on-chain security platform, responded to the news that partner Joe Ayoub withdrew due to equity disputes, saying: "Joe and I are indeed involved in a legal dispute related to Rug.AI. So far, this has been a private matter between Joe and me, but today Joe decided to make the dispute public. I hope that our differences can be resolved amicably, even if Joe has taken such an action." Jake added: "Neither I nor anyone else on the Rug.AI team currently has access to Rug.AI's X account, and has not accessed it since April 10, 2024... I deny Joe's allegations of any wrongdoing against me. At the same time, I also noticed Joe's statement that he will no longer be involved in the company's daily work. This is his own decision. What I can say is that the team and I have been working hard and will continue to work hard to develop Rug.AI." Earlier, Rug.AI co-founder Joe Ayoub posted on X that due to an equity dispute with Jake, he would no longer participate in the daily operations of the project, but would take legal action to obtain the company's equity.
