Full story
You know that scene in Spider-Man 2 where Peter prevents the train from derailing?
Then, when Doc Oc shows up to give Pete a beating, the passengers all come in with that “Do you want to get him, you have to go through us” energy?
That same scenario is playing out on crypto Twitter (CT)!
on CT, ZachXBT plays the role of a “friendly neighborhood spider sleuth” and uncovers scams and frauds in the crypto space.
(Some kind of faceless Coffee zilla).
News broke over the weekend that ZachXBT is being sued for libel by MachiBigBrother, after Zach alleged that Machi was embezzling tens of millions of dollars worth of crypto. an article published last year.
And now, like that scene in Spider-Man 2, the crypto industry is scurrying around ZachXBT giving great energy of “You want to reach him, you have to go through us.”
Binance, Justin Sun (creator of Tron), CertiK (a security firm), the Bankless team, and hundreds of others have donated to Zach’s legal fund, raising more than $1 million in just a few days.
(If you want to contribute, you can here).
Now, it’s getting a little dark in here.
The public filing revealed Zach’s full name and address…
Since then, someone has already tried to blackmail him for $100,000, threatening to steal his family’s identity and destroy their credit scores.
While others offer $$ for someone to break into Zach’s house and beat him up.
I hope this is all short lived and Zach can get the industry fair again.
