Tim Sweeney, the CEO of Epic Games, has publicly slammed the bogus Fortnite cryptocurrency account known as Fortnite Token, describing it as a scam unrelated to Fortnite or Epic Games. He claims that the firm’s lawyers are already attempting to shut down the bogus cryptocurrency.
There isn't a Fortnite cryptocurrency. The Twitter accounts promoting such a thing are a scam. Epic's lawyers are on it. Also, shame on the cryptocurrency marketplaces that enable this kind of thing.

Sweeney’s charges were met by denial from Fortnite Token, which has been operational since late 2021.
“Fortnite Token isn’t a scam cryptocurrency project,” it wrote. “Instead, this is a fair-launch, community-driven, Fortnite game fans-created cryptocurrency project with no specified owner or company structure behind it or a CEO deciding on its future.”
