“I did not sell anything,” he wrote on social media.
“I also don’t support crypto.”

I did not sell anything.I also don’t support crypto.
Now the group has doubled down on this statement.

Projects have included multipleNFT-based games (thanksArsTechnica).
Flappy Bird will return this autumn, with dedicated mobile apps on iOS and Android due next year.
