ASTEROID Creator’s Mother Says Hacked Accounts Were Used for False Crypto Posts
She said hacked X posts falsely linked her to the ASTEROID meme coin and that any Bags platform proceeds will be directed to a memorial foundation for her daughter.
Fact Check
Three independent secondary reports—Odaily, PANews, and BlockBeats—consistently state that Rebecca Perrotto said her accounts were compromised and that crypto-related posts were unauthorized. All three point to the same underlying X post, which strengthens the likelihood that this statement was really made. However, the original X post could not be fetched in this run, and no validated source was obtained for the additional part of the claim that 'Bags-related fees were moved after threats' and were intended for a foundation in her daughter's name. Therefore, the hacked-accounts/false-posts portion is reasonably supported, but the fees/foundation portion remains insufficiently evidenced here.

Summary
The mother of Liv Perrotto said hacked X posts falsely portrayed her as being involved with the ASTEROID meme coin. She said she never created any cryptocurrency or opened any account to profit from her 15-year-old daughter’s death. She also said any proceeds from the Bags platform will go to a memorial foundation in her daughter’s name, reinforcing her earlier claim that the crypto-related posts were unauthorized.

- ASTEROID meme coin: A meme coin is a cryptocurrency typically driven by online attention or community interest rather than a broader utility-focused use case.
- Bags platform: A platform referenced in the statement as the source of proceeds that she said would be directed to a memorial foundation.
