JAKARTA – Canadian health consulting service Ask The Doctor was recently reported to be filing a lawsuit against the leader of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) token project, Shytoshi Kusama for defamation. Ask The Doctor also plans to reveal Shytoshi Kusama's personal identity in court.

Whereas previously, Ask The Doctor often promoted the SHIB token on its Twitter social media. They have also announced that they will accept payments with SHIB. They had time to replace the profile photo with a picture of the Shiba Inu token icon. Now posts related to Shiba Inu on Twitter Ask The Doctor can no longer be seen.

Knowing this, Kusama immediately responded to the accusation by saying that Ask The Doctor had purchased a verified account and it was illegal. Kusama also said that Ask The Doctor only took people's money for services that were never provided.

“Notify your legal team that buying a verified account is illegal to use to deceive others. Tell them it's illegal to take people's money for services you never provide," Kusama said in a Twitter post on December 21 yesterday.

Previously, Kusama quoted a SHIB promotional tweet from Ask The Doctor the day before, stating, “You are a scam account. Where are all your “doctor” tweets from touring accounts made in 2009?”

According to Cointelegraph, in a Dec. 1 tweet, the company claimed to have added 31 billion SHIB (US$1.5 million at the time) to its balance sheet. On Monday, Ask The Doctor later tweeted that its SHIB token had been removed from its books. Twitter users alleged that the company had heavily promoted the SHIB token to retail investors over the past month.

At the time of publication, Ask The Doctor continues to escalate conflicts on social media platforms. In a more recent tweet, the company alleged that SHIB was a “scam”, “towards zero”, “will be delisted”, and stated that, without evidence, “there is a rug pull coming.”

Since the conflict began less than 24 hours ago, Ask the Doctor appears to have lost nearly 10,000 Twitter followers, with about 48,000 remaining. Even though Ask The Doctor says they are disposing of SHIB stock for business purposes, that doesn't explain why it would invest in what it believes to be a "scam" coin.
