Blockchain investigator ZachXBT posted on X(Twitter) a leaked price sheet naming more than 200 crypto influencers and listing their wallet addresses tied to a promotion.
He shared the claim recently on X(Twitter) and attached a screenshot that appears to show payments and wallets for a project that contacted influencers to promote a token.
The leak covers deals across social media because ZachXBT says about 160 accounts accepted the offer, but fewer than 5 actually disclosed the posts as ads, which raises fresh questions about market transparency.
The leak and the numbers
The file ZachXBT shared lists more than 200 influencer accounts and wallet addresses. He wrote that 160+ accounts accepted the deal. Of those, Zach said he saw fewer than 5 accounts that actually labelled their posts as advertisements.
That means disclosure was present in under 3% of the accepted deals, by his count. The screenshot he posted appears to be a price sheet or payout ledger tied to a recent promotional push.

Influencer disclosure failures
If those figures hold up, the gap between accepted deals and disclosures is wide. Paid promotions are legal in many places only when they are labelled clearly.
But the leak suggests most paid posts went out without clear ad tags. That behaviour can mislead users who follow influencers for opinions, not paid pitches. It also makes it harder for regulators and platforms to track commercial activity in crypto markets.
Related accusations and platform fights
This is not the first public spat involving ZachXBT. UnoCrypto earlier reported that he accused influencer Zion “Ansem” Thomas of running a string of memecoin pump and dump schemes.
ZachXBT said Thomas pushed several low-cap Solana tokens to followers during a heated exchange on X(Twitter). Those kinds of moves tie into the concern here, and that is that influencers can amplify thinly traded tokens and create sudden price swings when fans buy in.
Major cyber theft reported
ZachXBT also posted about a separate security case. He said hackers broke into C & M Software, a service provider used by some banks in Brazil, and stole 800 million reais, about $140 million, from reserve accounts at six banks.
That claim links the influencer leak to a broader picture of cyber risk and fragile cash flows in the crypto and banking world.
What does this mean for markets?
Taken together, the posts point to weak controls, and paid promos without clear disclosure can push inexperienced users into risky assets.
When influencers post glowing takes without saying they were paid, followers may buy without knowing the real motive. That can create sudden price spikes and losses, especially for low-cap tokens.
The hack claim and the promo leak both highlight another point, that is, the systems that handle money and messaging are under strain. Users must be more cautious about investment tips on social platforms.
Platforms and regulators face pressure to enforce ad rules and to improve monitoring for fraud and manipulation.
Questions for the industry
The leak raises direct questions, like who funded the promo campaign in the sheet? Were payments disclosed in contracts? Will platforms remove undisclosed ads when shown proof?
Greater transparency would help, like clear ad labels, public wallet records, and timely platform action, which can reduce harm. Investigations that tie specific payouts to posts would show how common this practice is and whether it broke any laws or rules.
