X has sued two UK-based Bitcoin influencers, alleging they operated six coordinated accounts to extract at least $278,000 from the platform’s now-defunct Creator Revenue Sharing Program. The allegations, reported by Decrypt, center on an alleged network of automated accounts that was used to generate payouts intended for creators. The lawsuit does not establish that the defendants engaged in wrongdoing, and the claims remain allegations unless proven in court. The case links Bitcoin-focused social-media activity with questions over the integrity of creator-reward systems on major online platforms. X’s action also highlights the financial impact that coordinated account activity can have when platform payouts are tied to engagement or content distribution. The alleged amount involved is at least $278,000, according to the source.
