MoonPay apologizes after false post about MooDeng’s death, halts AI intern test

MoonPay said a false post on X claiming celebrity hippo MooDeng had died was caused by a test tied to its “AI Intern V1.0” project. The crypto payments company said the test failed, the system still needs work, and related testing has now been paused and “sent back for repairs.” MoonPay also said MooDeng is fine, describing the animal as still “chubby, happy and very healthy.” The company apologized for the false report and any market concern it may have triggered, and said the post has been deleted. MoonPay added that the incident showed its AI agent project still has issues to address before any formal rollout.
