X sues users over fake engagement on Bitcoin posts to claw back creator payouts
- —X seeks £207,384 from three defendants in a Sept. 17 lawsuit
- —The filing says posts from @Vivek4real_ and @TrendingBitcoin appeared 11 seconds apart
- —X links payment records to devices used by the accounts
- —The Revenue Sharing program is being replaced by Original Content Rewards from Sept. 8
Why it matters: The case sets a precedent: engagement farming in crypto content can now carry financial and legal consequences, not just an account ban.
