	I'm completely aware that there is a user at @13-JA masquerading as a collaborator with me on a water cleanup bot project or something.

	I just want to clarify that this is not the case. This user has no affiliation with me.

	If you believe cheaters (whom this user is one) are people I associate myself with, I have a giant lot of 128 Lamborghinis to sell you. And just to clarify further, it's not the kind of romantic cheater. It's the kind of cheater who plagarizes other people's work and uses AI to do everything they do.

	This "water cleanup bot" project or something does not even exist.

	I'm told that there are people claiming to "tokenize" my git repositories with my approval.

	I just want to clarify that that is not the case. I do not believe in monetizing my repositories.

	If you believe crypto-currencies are anything but a scam, I have a bridge to sell you.

	But I'm not selling source code.
