X Internet Unlimited Company and X Corp. filed a UK High Court lawsuit against Vivek Kumar Sen, Zamyang Sherpa and operators of related accounts, alleging they manipulated engagement to fraudulently obtain at least £207,384 from X's Creator Revenue Sharing Program.
Why it matters
The complaint alleges that the accounts published identical or substantially similar content, liked and reposted one another's posts, and evaded platform enforcement. The case places creator payouts and engagement integrity at the center of a legal dispute involving Bitcoin influencers.
Market impact
X suspended the accounts on August 18 and is seeking repayment of the funds, damages, interest and legal costs. The company also estimates that investigation, analysis and remediation will cost at least £75,000. The lawsuit could make coordinated engagement activity a more prominent compliance risk for creators seeking platform revenue.
