πβ The winner of the "Best Content Creator" award at Token2049 in Singapore has deleted his X account after being accused of using bots to manipulate his stats.
Professor Crypto was honored with the Key Opinion Leader (KOL) award last night at a side event at Token2049.
He then shared this success on X.
ZachXBT looked into the influencer's stats and according to investigator Onchain, he used thousands of bots.
βIt might be a good idea to fire the thousands of bots you use on all social media platforms to fool people into thinking you have influence.β
says ZachXBT.
He then cited CFTC law that states that "no person shall sell or purchase false indicators of influence on social media, such as followers or views generated by a bot or hijacked account."
The effect is clear and sounds like a confession for Professor Crypto who deleted his X account shortly afterwards.

Embarrasing, even the KOL award was ran by insider wallets
