ZachXBT exposes social media account collaborations promoting cryptocurrency scam projects, with the scale of involvement reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars

On-chain detective ZachXBT disclosed today that a collaborative network consisting of at least 10 accounts is generating traffic on social platform X by creating panic-inducing content related to wars and ultimately directing it to cryptocurrency scam projects.

This network acquires accounts with an existing follower base, frequently posts sensational "apocalyptic" content, and amplifies dissemination by having multiple secondary accounts retweet each other, quickly gaining millions of views and significant interactions. Investigations show that these accounts also utilize AI to generate fake personas, such as fabricating an "Asian version of Mario Nawfal" to enhance credibility. After gaining traffic, the relevant accounts promote fake airdrop events or cryptocurrency project scams, including a concentrated promotion of a pump-and-dump project named ORAMAMA on February 22, 2026, which is then no longer mentioned.

On-chain data indicates that this operation has brought six-figure profits to the team behind it. Meanwhile, many genuine large accounts inadvertently engage in interactions through comments and retweets, further amplifying the content dissemination effect. ZachXBT warns that this combination model of "traffic farms + AI content + cryptocurrency scams" has become highly mature and is easily replicable. If similar mechanisms are exploited by higher-level organizations, their potential impact will far exceed the realm of financial fraud and may even evolve into a tool for public opinion manipulation.

ZachXBT calls for platforms to strengthen regulation, implementing bans and legal accountability for such manipulative behaviors. He also advises users to carefully verify account histories and information sources before engaging in interactions to combat the increasingly rampant phenomenon of false content and "interaction bait."
