a16z founder Shaw once again published an article publicly accusing Swarms founder of plagiarism and questioning his programming abilities

Coin World News, January 5th news, a16z founder Shaw once again posted on social media, making harsh accusations against Swarms founder. He said that the Swarms founder “simply doesn’t understand how to program”, and has a history of code plagiarism and fraud. Shaw said he had warned the Swarms team many times, but did not receive an effective response, but instead was attacked. He bluntly stated in the tweet: “These people like a 19-year-old high school dropout, even though Google search can reveal his history of fraud, but they don’t care.” Shaw emphasized that the other party’s behavior is very harmful to the industry’s development, and stated that he will no longer tolerate such behavior. In response, the official Swarms responded on social media, asking Shaw to point out specific code issues for repair, but Shaw directly countered: “These impostors should learn how to program correctly, instead of plagiarizing others’ work.” It is reported that earlier news, Shaw had previously accused Swarms projects in December 2024 of allegedly unauthorized use of others’ code, and the related code may come from the developer Kye. He had already called on the community to follow this matter, but it did not spark much discussion.
