Have you seen those accounts that share sensationalist content about war and politics? Apparently, they’re not there by chance. ZachXBT just revealed something really concerning: a coordinated network of over 10 accounts exploiting geopolitical panic to promote crypto scams.

What struck me is the sophistication of the operation. These accounts use AI-generated avatars, bought followers, and produce viral content to direct traffic toward pump-and-dump schemes. Not amateur DIY. It’s organized.

ZachXBT traced the on-chain activity and found concrete evidence. Last February, these accounts promoted the $ORAMAMA token and made six-figure profits before disappearing. The investigator documented all of this meticulously, showing how the machine actually works.

But here’s what really worries me: if small scammers can do this with so few resources, what could a state actor do with the same tactics? That’s a question ZachXBT also raises. The infrastructure needed is minimal, making it even more accessible than one might think.

The researcher calls for concrete measures: bans on platforms and legal actions against these coordinated manipulation networks. He also emphasizes that this propaganda has a real daily reach to thousands of people.

To protect yourself, ZachXBT recommends checking recent account history, reviewing their past posts, and staying vigilant against these patterns. Because honestly, once you know what to look for, it’s pretty easy to spot. AI-generated accounts often have characteristic signatures.
