X lawsuit and alleged creator payout manipulation in Bitcoin circles
X Internet Unlimited Company and X Corp. have sued two named individuals, Vivek Kumar Sen and Zamyang Sherpa, along with persons unknown in the Business and Property Courts of England and Wales under claim number BL-2026-001161. The complaint alleges a coordinated network of at least six Bitcoin-focused accounts manipulated engagement to obtain creator payments under X’s Creator Revenue Sharing program, resulting in at least £207,384 in payouts tied to the disputed accounts. X’s schedule breaks those payments down to £74,332.44 for @Vivek4real_, roughly £50,065 plus a small converted Paraguayan guaraní payment for @Bitcoin_Teddy, £49,441.91 for @saylordocs, £22,938.35 for @TrendingBitcoin, £3,490.71 for @Kalshibacktest and £6,705.25 for @PolyBackTest.
The filing describes tightly timed, substantively similar postings, reciprocal likes, reposts and replies across the accounts and cites examples such as Aug. 13 interactions where @Vivek4real_, @saylordocs and @Bitcoin_Teddy replied to the same third‑party post within 31 seconds and an Aug. 5 instance of near-simultaneous posts by @Vivek4real_ and @TrendingBitcoin separated by 11 seconds. X also names additional handles — @BTC_Vibes, @MrSuperBitcoin and @Laserlump — alleging they repeatedly boosted the primary accounts’ engagement. Those allegations underpin claims including deceit, breach of contract and unjust enrichment; the documents do not include a court finding or a defense filing in the materials reviewed.
X says it suspended the disputed accounts on Aug. 18 and seeks delivery or repayment of funds, damages, restitutionary relief, interest, costs and other relief the court considers appropriate. The company expects at least an additional £75,000 in investigation, analysis, remediation and prevention expenses, which brings claimed and projected losses to at least £282,384 before interest and legal costs. The filing notes X retired the Creator Revenue Sharing program on Sept. 7 and began rolling out Original Content Rewards on Sept. 8, with the new program expressly excluding fraudulent, paid, promoted or artificially generated impressions.
