Frank DeGods, the creator of the popular NFT project DeGods, has officially stepped down from his role as CEO. In a recent post on X, he made it clear that he is "not on the run" and has never participated in any illegal activities. According to him, this statement is simply “the boring truth.”

Rohun Vora, known as Frank DeGods, launched the NFT projects DeGods and y00ts in 2021. Although he did not provide specific reasons for his departure, he hinted that his emphasis on building the "Frank DeGods" brand may have been a barrier to the project's success. He also mentioned feeling that the criticism directed at him was sometimes excessive, stating, “the hate was overdone” at times.

In his post, Vora reiterated, “For the record: I’m not ‘on the run.’ There are no investigations, because I have never done anything illegal.”

Vora is recognized as a crypto influencer affiliated with the so-called “LA Vape Cabal,” which refers to a group of crypto influencers in Los Angeles who often promote memecoins and other crypto ventures. Alongside Vora, associates such as Faze Banks (Richard Bengtson) and Threadguy (Michael Jerome) found themselves in hot water when they distanced themselves from the LIBRA token—backed by Javier Milei—after allegations of insider trading surfaced.

Initially, Vora commented that he possessed insider knowledge regarding LIBRA, but later clarified that his remarks were merely a sarcastic joke. All involved have denied accusations of insider trading related to the LIBRA token.

Moreover, a leaked interview involving Haliey Welch—conducted by the Cabal to discuss the issues surrounding her Hawk Tuah token launch—added more controversy. Bengtson asserts that Welch's team leaked the interview and traded the token before it aired.

Following these events, the crypto influencers have maintained a lower profile, engaging in fewer streams. As for Vora, he expressed his gratitude, saying, “It’s been fun. Time to finally hit the gym. Thanks for everything.”

To oversee DeGods, Vora announced that X users @pastagotsauce and @0x_chill will be taking charge of the project moving forward.
