Summary

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT said a coordinated network of more than 10 X accounts used war- and political panic-related posts to funnel users into crypto scams. He alleged the operation bought follower-heavy accounts, posted bearish content multiple times per day, amplified messages through linked accounts, and promoted fake giveaways. The claims add operational detail to an alleged scam network that ZachXBT previously said used crisis content, AI-generated personas, fake airdrops, and promotions including ORAMAMA to generate six-figure profits.

  • AI personas: Artificially created online identities used to appear credible or influential while promoting misleading or fraudulent crypto content.
