The winner of the Best Content Creator award at a crypto event in Singapore has deleted his X (formerly Twitter) account after being accused of using bots to manipulate his social metrics.
Professor Crypto collected his Key Opinion Leader (KOL) award yesterday evening at one of Token2049’s side events, DeGen Summit. He then shared this success on X.
However, his now-deleted celebratory post prompted crypto sleuth ZachXBT to point out that Professor Crypto seemingly utilizes thousands of bots.
“It might be a good idea to lay off the thousands of bots you use on all social media platforms to deceive people into thinking you have an influence,” said ZachXBT.
He also linked to a Federal Trade Commission law that “prohibits anyone from selling or buying fake indicators of social media influence, such as followers or views generated by a bot or hijacked account.”

Professor Crypto deleted his X account shortly after wiping a number of posts related to his KOL win. He also hid dozens of posts from users claiming that they don’t follow anyone who is following Professor Crypto or even know who he is.
Indeed, functi0nZer0 said, “I have been here longer than the stars have burned, and I have precisely *one* mutual with this account (someone I added within the last week).”
Another user, NewsyJohnson, also noted they have zero mutals with Professor Crypto despite following over 1,100 accounts and having almost 20,000 followers.
NewsyJohnson claimed Professor Crypto has bots following, liking, and commenting on his content. They said, “I don’t think he has any human following.”
Professor Crypto on THAT crypto plane
Professor Crypto was also onboard the Qatar Airways flight to Singapore that looked more like a party than any networking event.
During the flight seatbelt safety signs were ignored as passengers danced in the aisles while Redacted co-founder Shan Kumar implied that the crew may not have expected the mid air antics.
He said, “You know what, the Qatar Airways staff are like this is the last time we’re ever gonna host a Web3 plane and to be honest, that was the goal.” This particular video has since been deleted from X.
