Big Players of Crypto Donate $1M to Crypto Investigator ZachXBT after Defamation Lawsuit
Several prominent businesses and members from the crypto community have donated more than $1 million in stablecoins and tokens to crypto investigator ZachXBT, as he prepares to fight against several defamation charges.
As per the data from the on-chain analytics platform Nansen, ZachXBT received stablecoin donations in the form of USD Coin (USDC), Tether (USDT), Dai (DAI). Additionally, they also received memecoins such as PEPE and JESUS from hundreds of wallets. ZachXBT received most of these funds on the Ethereum blockchain. He also received part of the funds on BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, and other Fantom-based tokens.
ZachXBT has received support from prominent crypto personalities such as Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, and Tron founder Justin Sun. Musician and tech entrepreneur Jeffrey Huang filed a lawsuit against ZachXBT. The lawsuit is about an article that ZachXBT posted a year ago, accusing Huang of stealing Ethereum from a crypto platform.
Last Friday, Huang filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Western District of Texas. The lawsuit claims that ZachXBT harmed the reputation and finances of MachiBigBrother through defamation. According to the complaint, ZachXBT is being charged with one count of libel and one count of libel per se.
ZachXBT asked for support on Twitter, and many people donated stablecoins like USDC and Tether, as well as Ethereum and Polygon tokens to his wallet. ZachXBT intends to use the funds to cover his legal expenses and will return any extra money to the donors fairly. On-chain data shows that as of Monday morning, ZachXBT has moved out these funds to another address.
