ZachXBT Stops Accepting DMs on X

In a move likened to Batman leaving Gotham, famed crypto sleuth ZachXBT is no longer accepting direct messages on X. According to him, users requesting his help no longer “respect his time” and “lack basic financial literacy.”

In the Investigations by ZachXBT Telegram group, he announced that his DMs would be turned off for the next few weeks, stating, “This means there’s currently no way to contact me so don’t get scammed.”

Over the past week, X users have repeatedly called for ZachXBT to investigate Javier Milei’s LIBRA token launch and the allegations of $100 million in insider trading surrounding it. However, on Wednesday, he stated he won’t probe LIBRA or anything meme-related because he finds little incentive to spend time on it.

ZachXBT mentioned:
> “I don’t care about gamblers and do not care about gaining engagement/followers for coverage on the incident.”

He expressed that he is most interested in cases involving hacks/exploits, phishing, or social engineering scams, as they provide fulfillment in recovering funds or helping victims take legal action.

ZachXBT also stated that he plans to post less on X due to how bad crypto Twitter has become.

Over the years, ZachXBT has helped expose numerous scammers, with his latest investigations unveiling a $500,000 crypto scam involving hacked accounts impersonating employees of X. He has also criticized crypto exchange Coinbase for not addressing social engineering scams that reportedly stole $65 million from users between December 2024 and January 2025.

Additionally, he took aim at Burwick Law, a law firm launching lawsuits on behalf of memecoin investors, claiming the plaintiffs they represent are “degenerate gamblers” and not “actual victims or investors.”
