A major scandal has rocked X, the app for everything, as official accounts allege that cryptocurrency scammers tried to bribe site staff. It is unclear whether any team members agreed.
The platform is apparently pursuing legal action against these scammers, who have been active on multiple social media platforms.
Cryptocurrency bribery on X
X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk’s social media app, is one of the leading platforms for promoting cryptocurrencies. However, as usual, many companies try to unfairly gain an advantage. Today, X revealed a bribery scandal that broke involving its own employees:
Specifically, the official accounts allege that some cryptocurrency scammers have offered to bribe X staff to restore their profiles. Social media is a major channel for cryptocurrency scams , and administrators are constantly working to disable bad users.
However, it appears that some of these characters have attempted to pay their way back into X's good graces. It is unclear whether these efforts have been successful, but it is an organized group operating across multiple social media platforms and popular websites on the internet.
X’s official statement said it is taking legal action in the cryptocurrency bribery scandal. Elon Musk, the owner of the platform, has not commented publicly, but the group said that its “commitment to ensuring the integrity of the platform is absolute.”
