So, let’s talk about X, the social media platform that’s like that friend who constantly tries to improve your life but ends up just Googling “How to be cool?” Recently, they decided to crack down on a bribery network that thought it could buy its way back into the ‘in crowd.’ ✋💸
In a very dramatic post (cue the lights and sad violin music), X revealed that some suspended accounts, mainly the ones dabbling in crypto scams, attempted a shoddy little scheme involving paying middlemen to bribe employees into reinstating their accounts. Because nothing says “trustworthy” like bribing people to give you your account back. 🙄
X has exposed and is taking strong action against a bribery network targeting our platform. Suspended accounts involved in crypto scams and platform manipulation paid middlemen to attempt to bribe employees to reinstate their suspended accounts. These perpetrators exploit social…

Criminal Activity Across Platforms
But wait, there’s more! These wannabe mobsters didn’t restrict their bad behavior to just X. No, they’ve got a whole buffet of social media platforms to pick from. You name it-Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Minecraft, Roblox-they’re all in on the fun! 🎮
And if that wasn’t juicy enough, there are ties to larger criminal organizations, a.k.a. “The Com.” Sounds suspiciously like a bad guy in a superhero movie, right? Spoiler alert: they don’t have capes. 👀
Now, legal action is in motion, and X is teaming up with law enforcement like a buddy cop movie where one partner is a strict referee and the other is just a child playing with Legos. They’re committed to keeping the platform as safe as a bubble-wrapped avocado in a hipster café. 🥑
Oh, and back in July? The FBI threw shade on “The Com,” aka “The Community.” It’s practically a social network for the socially awkward (mostly minors who think they’re invincible). #GemsOfTheInternet
High-Profile Hacks in 2024-2025
In a shocking turn of events, X suspended 5.3 million accounts in just the first half of 2024! Apparently, trying to keep scams off the platform is like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands-chaotic and slightly embarrassing. 👐
And in the midst of all this chaos, TRON got hit in May 2025, and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz said, “Hey, why not lose our account too?” And let’s not forget the poor UK lawmaker who was turned into a walking advertisement for a fake Solana token. Because nothing screams authenticity like a hacked account! 😬
Even Nick Robinson of BBC fame got hacked! Who knew the world of journalism would turn into a cryptocurrency soap opera? 🎤
Rising Crypto Crime
According to Chainalysis, in 2024, illicit cryptocurrency addresses received a staggering $40.9 billion. It’s like organized crime discovered online shopping. With estimates likely creeping up to $51 billion, criminals are basically handing out discount codes for their mischief. 🎉
Criminals have fully embraced cryptocurrency, using it for traditional crimes like drug trafficking and, because why not, multiple crimes at once. Guys, it’s not a buffet if you’re just serving chaos! 🍽️
