Description: OpenClaw developers are being targeted on GitHub with fake $5,000 CLAW token giveaways that lead to wallet-draining sites. The campaign adds to a series of crypto-related scams exploiting OpenClaw's name, which prompted founder Peter Steinberger to ban all crypto discussion on the project's Discord. CoinDesk's Jennifer Sanasie hosts "CoinDesk Daily."
