In a recent revelation, ZachXBT accuses X user scaredofboobs of being none other than the alleged scammer behind NFT Machine. According to ZachXBT's Telegram channel on Dec. 28, he boldly asserts,
"X/Twitter User scaredofboobs is a scammer known as NFT Machine."
NFT Machine, formerly a Twitter account linked to OpenFT's founder, faced suspension on X for rule violations. Cryptocurrency investor Shual's February 2022 thread identified Tyler Gaye as the doxxed American behind NFT Machine. A report from LocalToday, citing BusinessDen, claims Gaye is a resident of Denver and was sued by investors for orchestrating a fraudulent NFT-related fundraising scheme.
Investors alleged Gaye misused funds meant for OpenFT, instead splurging on personal NFTs. A private investigator located Gaye, leading to a lawsuit and a default judgement ordering him to pay $275,000 in restitution and damages. Notably, scaredofboobs, known for Solana smart contract contributions, is implicated as Tyler Gaye.
ZachXBT contends that despite the court order, Gaye remains delinquent in repaying investors and has ventured into new crypto projects like ArcadeDAO. While there's no explicit promotion of crypto investments on scaredofboobs' X account, it's laden with references to open-source Solana projects.
Renowned for unveiling SIM-swap attacks stealing over $13 million, ZachXBT dropped the bombshell on scaredofboobs. On Dec. 24, he deactivated his X account, sparking impersonators. Though the account is reactivated, silence reigns since Dec. 18.
As the crypto community grapples with ZachXBT's exposé, questions loom over scaredofboobs' alleged identity as the elusive NFT Machine. The unfolding drama underscores the complexities and risks within the crypto space, urging users to exercise caution and due diligence in their digital endeavours.
