X sues Bitcoin account operators over alleged creator-payout manipulation

  • X sued Sen, Sherpa and unidentified defendants over alleged creator-payout manipulation.
  • X alleges the network obtained at least £207,384 from Creator Revenue Sharing.
  • X suspended nine accounts and replaced the program with Original Content Rewards.

X has sued Vivek Kumar Sen, Zamyang Sherpa and unidentified operators in England, alleging they ran six Bitcoin-focused accounts with at least three booster accounts to manipulate engagement and collect at least £207,384, or about $278,000, from its former Creator Revenue Sharing program. X says the accounts posted near-identical material seconds or minutes apart, copied replies and liked one another's posts, while linked Stripe, bank and email records connected the operation to the defendants. The company suspended all nine accounts on Aug. 18, shut down Creator Revenue Sharing on Sept. 7, and replaced it with Original Content Rewards, which excludes fraudulent, paid and artificially generated impressions from payouts. X is seeking the disputed payments, at least £75,000 in investigation and remediation costs, damages, interest and legal fees. No defense had been filed as of Sept. 21.
