X Takes Legal Action Against Crypto Scamming Network’s Bribery Scheme

Social media platform X has initiated legal proceedings against a network of banned accounts, including cryptocurrency scammers, who allegedly attempted to bribe employees to regain access. The company disclosed the scheme in a Friday announcement, linking it to broader criminal organizations.

The bribery network targeted X employees through intermediaries, offering payments to reinstate suspended accounts involved in crypto scams and platform manipulation. X is collaborating with law enforcement but has not disclosed further details about the banned accounts.

These perpetrators exploit multiple social media platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and are associated with criminal groups such as 'The Com.' X emphasized its commitment to combating such activities with strong legal measures.
