I'm not surprised the attack narrative is so popular and rarely challenged. Whether there was an actual attack or not, the attack narrative gives everyone a convenient out. The creator can disavow responsibility for creating a stablecoin that doesn't work and the investors get to feel like they weren't taken in by a con but we're instead attacked by an outside entity.

Also the straight up call to start shilling the new network immediately or you won't get a cut:

> Essential app developers looking to join for emergency allocation should signal public support for the net network on Twitter and social channels.
