In a shocking revelation, a crypto community member known as Roxo has identified the alleged mastermind behind recent memecoin scams involving celebrities. The victims include Caitlyn Jenner, rappers Soulja Boy and Rich The Kid, and adult-content models Kazumi and Ivana Knöll. Roxo, who is reportedly an 18-year-old from Miami with 17,100 followers, shared his findings on social media, pointing to Sahil Arora as the culprit.
Roxo’s investigation began after a series of suspicious tweets emerged from the celebrities’ accounts over the weekend of May 25-26. Contrary to initial beliefs that these accounts were hacked, Roxo claimed that Caitlyn Jenner’s team was “socially engineered” by Arora. Roxo supported his claims with a Telegram post and various pictures of Arora, including one with Rich The Kid. He also linked the memecoin transactions to Arora’s wallet address.
Jenner’s involvement in the JENNER coin was confirmed by her manager, Sophia Hutchins, who stated that the coin was legitimate and that Jenner’s account was not hacked. Despite confusion caused by a third-party token promotion, Jenner reiterated her commitment to the JENNER coin in a subsequent tweet.
The plot thickened as Roxo accused Arora of orchestrating multiple “influencer rug pulls”—a fraudulent scheme where a developer promotes a new coin, inflates its value, and then sells off their holdings, leaving investors with worthless tokens. Roxo’s allegations were echoed by Rich The Kid, who posted a video explaining how Arora had hijacked his account to promote a fraudulent coin and then blocked him after siphoning the funds.
In a brief series of Twitter Spaces hosted by Arora on May 27, he attempted to address the accusations but provided little relevant information. His account was deleted shortly after these broadcasts, further fueling suspicions about his involvement in the scams.
This developing story highlights the vulnerabilities in the celebrity-endorsed cryptocurrency market and raises questions about the security measures in place to protect high-profile individuals from social engineering attacks.
