Leaked ‘Shill Price List’ shows Wild World of Crypto promos

Citiraj:

On Monday, an independent researcher who exposes hacks and scams in the world of crypto published a purported list of influencers and how much they charge to "shill" crypto projects on Twitter. The list quickly went viral, starting a conversation about how essentially any cryptocurrency project can simply pay influencers to retweet or promote their projects to hundreds of thousands or millions of people on social media. The spreadsheet includes dozens of influencers including current and former professional athletes and Lindsay Lohan, many with tens of thousands of followers and in some cases verified accounts. Motherboard reviewed the Twitter feeds of dozens of the accounts on the list, and many of them claim in their profiles that they promote crypto projects. Some of them say, specifically, that they "shill" crypto. Some of them are self-claimed "crypto promoters" or "crypto influencers." Many have contact info for paid partnerships or promotions. Others don't, and even advise that their tweets are "not financial advice." All of the accounts Motherboard reviewed regularly promote obscure coins, NFTs, and other cryptocurrency projects.

Infamous BitConnect shill Trevon James turns attention to HEX

Citiraj:

Richard Heart's controversial HEX project is gaining momentum with the help of former BitConnect promoters Trevon James and Craig Grant. Former Ponzi scheme affiliate Trevon James is now advertising the controversial Hex project, with recommendations on his YouTube channel instructing people to send all of their Ethereum to Hex founder Richard Heart. The decision from James comes two years after the demise of cryptocurrency’s most damaging multi-level-marketing scheme, with BitConnect being shut down in January 2018. In a YouTube video dubbed “Five reasons why you should look at Hex”, James gives viewers a step-by-step guide on how to “earn” Hex by staking Ethereum through Richard Heart’s smart contract.

Safemoon fraud exposed: Token crashes 26% in a day

Citiraj:

Safemoon fraud has been exposed, and the price of the token has tanked 26% after that. Well, we know that Safemoon rewarded hodlers and added liquidity with the commissions it received from the sellers. However, it has been uncovered that John Karony has not been adding the Safemoon he has been receiving from sellers to the liquidity pool. It seems their team had a deal with Bitmart where the exchange sent the 5% Safemoon tokens to John while distributing the rest among holders. And John just kept it.
