After the Collapse of the Believe Flywheel Myth, the 26-Year-Old Prodigy Founder Stands as Defendant in Federal Court

In March 2026, 26-year-old Australian entrepreneur Ben Pasternak and his entities B24, Inc. and Believe Foundation were sued in a New York federal court. Investors accused Pasternak of deceptive practices and false advertising through three consecutive token offerings and a forced token migration, causing hundreds of millions in losses. The case centers on Believe (formerly Clout.me), a Solana-based social token launch platform Pasternak founded. Users could create tokens via tweets, with the platform token LAUNCHCOIN reaching a peak market cap of $370 million in May 2025. Pasternak initially claimed he had "zero ownership" of his self-named token, PASTERNAK, which crashed over 95% within a week. In October 2025, Believe forced a migration from LAUNCHCOIN to a new token, BELIEVE, increasing total supply by 33.3%. New tokens were allocated to team members, investors, and the foundation, diluting existing holders. Pasternak falsely claimed no tokens were allocated to insiders for a year, while the foundation received 40 million tokens with no lock-up. The platform generated an estimated $54 million in fees from $6 billion in trading volume. Pasternak earned creator fees throughout. After the migration, significant selling occurred from top wallets. BELIEVE’s value plummeted from its peak to around $1.2 million. Pasternak, a former teen prodigy who dropped out of school at 15, had previously founded apps like Monkey and the food-tech startup NUGGS. His personal life also drew attention, including a public breakup in early 2026. Once hailed as "the next Zuckerberg," he now faces legal and reputational collapse.

Giants Collectively Raise Prices, Is the AI Price Hike Wave Coming? Can We Still Afford Lobster Employees?

Major AI companies, including Alibaba Cloud, Baidu Intelligent Cloud, Tencent Cloud, and Zhipu, have recently announced significant price increases for AI computing and storage services, with hikes ranging from 5% to over 460% in some models. This trend follows similar moves by global giants like Amazon AWS and Google Cloud earlier this year. The price surge is driven by explosive demand for computing power, fueled by the rapid adoption of AI agents like OpenClaw (referred to as "Lobster" in the article), which consume tokens at rates dozens or even hundreds of times higher than traditional AI applications. This has created a severe supply-demand imbalance. Additionally, shortages in high-end hardware—such as AI chips and high-bandwidth memory (HBM)—have constrained computing capacity and raised operational costs. The industry is shifting away from loss-leading pricing strategies toward value-based models, prioritizing sustainable development over market-share competition. A new "token economy" is emerging, where pricing is increasingly based on token usage, complexity, and speed rather than flat fees. This reflects AI computing's evolution from a generic service to a specialized, high-value resource. Some companies are even considering token allowances as part of employee benefits, highlighting its growing role as both a production tool and a cost factor. The article concludes by questioning whether AI services will remain affordable as compute costs continue to rise.
