There are allegations that a crypto influencer cheated on his followers about an altcoin. On-chain detective accuses an influencer of being involved in a ‘pump and dump’ scam and profiting from the misery of others. This time, ZachXBT targeted another person called ‘DannyCrypt’ for allegedly defrauding his followers.
“DannyCrypt is cheating on its followers with this altcoin!”
ZachXBT accused the influencer in question of taking 2% of a certain token supply to aid marketing. However, he claimed that 15 minutes after receiving the tokens, he threw most of them to unsuspecting followers for $57K (31 ETH). According to ZackXBT, DannyCrypt is actively promoting a new altcoin project called “HODL” on social media. He was also tweeting about “hodling” his tokens. In this context, ZachXBT shared the following on his Twitter account:
Another day, another influencer DannyCrypt leaves his followers undisclosed. It took 2% of the supply to help with the marketing. However, within 15 minutes of receiving the tokens, it released the majority of them for $57,000 (31 ETH). Meanwhile, he tweeted, ‘I’m hodling my HODL’.
The on-chain detective accuses the influencer of telling his 26,000 Telegram channel subscribers that he believes the token price is “fixed”. However, he states that he sold his altcoin stash right after the influencer said this. In this regard, he shared:
He also said on his Telegram channel, which has 26 thousand subscribers, “I buy HOLDR from here, I think the price is stabilized.” However, he immediately sold the tokens after that.
Target name interestingly denies the allegations
Here’s DannyCrypt’s tweet, which appears to address ZackXBT’s claims:
The team is angry not because I sold, but because they weren’t able to sell before me after they had reserved more than 70% of the pre-sale White List for themselves. They do the same with NFT projects. However, if you come for me, I will block you. Go and cry on your time line!
ZachXBT continues to claim that DannyCrypt is “playing the victim role”. He even removed the tag from the post to distance himself from the allegations. Then the influencer blocked him.
Last September, ZackXBT accused popular crypto influencer Lark Davis of making over $1 million in profits by promoting low-volume crypto projects and pitching his followers, as we reported on Kriptokoin.com. However, Lark Davis denied these claims of ZackXBT. Meanwhile, Youtuber and influencer Ben Armstrong, aka BitBoy, has also been accused of at least seven scams and dumping.
