Cryptocurrency investigator Roxo says a ‘hacker’ has been identified in the celebrity memecoin scam.
An X crypto community member who identified himself as Roxo suggested the identity of the “hacker” who compromised the Roxo, an 18-year-old Miami resident with 17,100 followers, posted a solution to a series of questionable tweets posted over the weekend of May 25-26.
“She (Jenner) has never been hacked,” Roxo said. Her team was socially engineered by a guy named Sahil,” she tweeted. Instead, he suggested that other celebrities are strong. Roxo recreated various photos from his account, including Sahil Arora’s Telegram post and a photo of him posing with Rich The Kid. Roxo also pointed out that coins released on Pump.fun on behalf of Soul Ja Boy, Rich The Kid, Kazumi and Knöll were all linked to Arora’s wallet address.

According to Roxo, the JENNER coin was a legitimate launch that left Jenner’s “team” completely confused. They also copied a tweet from Jenner’s The post was on Roxo’s account when she posted it, but appears to have since been deleted.
Jenner is doubling down on her efforts to promote JENNER. “Ads for third-party tokens have been taken down! As I said from the beginning the only focus I had was $Jenner and the ads I posted confused too many people and wasn’t worth it. As I have said time and time again, I am completely focused on my token, $Jenner,” she posted on X.
“Like I said!! All you want is money and all you do is naive!!!!” And “She dumped me and now she doesn’t answer my calls/messages at all. They are now threatening to get me out of here,” Arora responded by posting again.
Jenner’s manager, Sophia Hutchins, confirmed that the JENNER coins are real and that the account was not hacked.
Roxo continued: “Sahil successfully ran five influencer rugs this week.” His claims were supported by a post by Rich The Kid on his X account. The rapper said in the video:
“Yesterday my page was hacked and Sahil promoted coins on my page. (…) This person almost pumped up all the money in his account and blocked me. So, please look forward to new coins.”
The fifth scam may have been carried out on the account of cryptocurrency investor Gigantic-Cassocked-Rebirth (GCR). GCR claimed in a post that his account had been hacked, which has since been deleted.
Arora hosted four Twitter Spaces on May 27, only one of which lasted longer than five minutes. “Today, let’s give a Fukin’ answer to the scammers. “Let’s work with our assets” and “We will answer more of your questions, including but not limited to 1) about the SOL scan and 2) how you were betrayed,” he posted ahead of the event. When Cointelegraph listened to the longest broadcast, the conversation had nothing to do with memecoins. His account (@sahilsaysol) was deleted minutes later.
