Yichao Peak Ji, co-founder and chief scientist of Manus, issued a statement on X platform on March 7, making a formal response to the freezing of the company's official account (@ManusAI_HQ). Ji Yichao said in a statement that the account was accidentally frozen on March 6, and the company is currently actively communicating with the X platform team to resolve this problem as soon as possible. He stressed that Manus has always been committed to providing users with high-quality artificial intelligence services, and this incident will not affect the company's normal operations.
Ji Yichao further pointed out in his statement that according to the preliminary investigation, the account freezing may be related to the cryptocurrency fraud activities mentioned by third parties. He specifically clarified that Manus has never participated in any cryptocurrency-related projects, including token issuance, blockchain technology development, etc. Any act of cryptocurrency promotion or transaction in the name of Manus is fraudulent and the company has zero tolerance for such behavior.
In response to the recent impostors, Manus has initiated legal procedures and taken active measures to safeguard the company's legitimate rights and interests. The company encourages users to report any suspicious accounts through official channels and promises to conduct careful verification of all reports. Manus hopes to effectively protect users from fraud through these measures while maintaining the company's brand reputation.
The company is expected to resume normal operations of its official X account in the next few days. During this period, Manus will maintain communication with users through other social media platforms to ensure that the service is not affected. This incident also reminds technology companies that they need to strengthen the protection of brand assets, establish a complete brand monitoring mechanism, and prevent all kinds of impersonation and fraud.
It is worth noting that on the evening of March 5, the Manus team released its latest product introduction on multiple social media platforms around the world. According to official reports, Manus is the world's first universal Agent (agent) product, which can independently complete complex and changeable tasks. This product has the ability to think independently and implement planning and can be widely used in multiple scenarios such as resume screening, real estate research, stock analysis, travel planning, website SEO optimization, etc.
With the release of Manus products, the so-called "Manus invitation code" transactions appeared on the market. According to multiple media reports, on second-hand trading platforms, the price of these invitation codes was hyped up to 100,000 yuan, reflecting the market's high expectations for Manus products. The company reminds users that all official invitation codes are issued through formal channels, and it is recommended that users obtain relevant information through official channels to avoid being deceived.
