On-chain detective ZachXBT is accused of being a key enforcer of an "organized short-selling team," with multiple allegations of engaging in dirty tricks and betrayals himself.

The self-proclaimed "anti-fraud fighter" on-chain detective ZachXBT is being increasingly linked by on-chain behavior analysis to another identity: he is not a lone justice warrior, but more like a "public face" of a premeditated short-selling team. Multiple "teaser-style exposés" have triggered sharp drops in token prices, with allegations of forces coordinating to set up short positions in advance and execute precise strikes behind the scenes.

At the same time, ZachXBT himself is embroiled in serious controversy. In 2025, he received 50% of the supply of the Meme coin ZACHXBT, pumped its market cap to $88 million, then withdrew nearly $4 million in liquidity, personally orchestrating an "investigation-style Rug Pull." Furthermore, he has long accepted airdrops from projects and维权 tokens indiscriminately, only to dump them for cash without exception. Earning over $10 million annually while remaining anonymous, he has consistently refused to disclose his wallet or profit chain.

An anonymous account accused of market manipulation now turns around to "judge" the industry—is this a voice for justice, or a smokescreen for the next short-selling attack?
