Know I haven’t been around in forever, had to focus on completing my PhD. Meanwhile this work was just published, and have to shout out @TheRealNomics @winternomics for the inspiration and help through your art, logic, and analysis!

@zora What did have potential was “The Art of Markets” artist which you cancelled because the token & community were stronger than anything you’d ever seen b4. Instead of embracing a real creator you financially damage the brand and thousands of supporters to the tune of $20m mcap 🤢

[jpegadas @jpegadas]

keep the tips coming in

@jessepollak its now a pattern of behaviour within Base & @zora

'3 wallets bought a large amount of "Base is for everyone" before @base posted and sold them, making a profit of $666k'

Oh they will help themselves to rugging creators along with their following. Read through these posts that explain what's going on and why this platform is a danger to creators and their following. #zorascam

@TheRealNomics @winternomics @jessepollak @zachxbt @js_horne @crystaltai @zora @base @FBI @CFTC @SEC @WSJ @CNBC Look at this in April, they did something similar with their airdrop and even banned one user for being “too active”

https://t.co/CyIJrfb5bG

[𝓐𝓷𝓽𝓸𝓷 𝓟𝓻𝓸𝓯𝓲𝓽 @AntonProfiT]

The $ZORA token airdrop is a prime example of total injustice in Web3.

🔵 Instead of fairly rewarding active users, the @Zora team:
1️⃣ Sent nearly the entire drop to their own wallets
2️⃣ Gave pennies to regular users who spent real money minting and growing the ecosystem
3️⃣ Promised automatic distribution before the listing, but:  
– At first, for 2.5 hours, they were selling the tokens themselves on the exchange at a good price.
– only then quietly opened the claim portal
4️⃣ Promoted "referral activity", then banned the most active users for it!

ℹ️ I’m just one example:
– I created dozens of collections
– Brought in thousands of referrals
– My links generated millions of mints

💰 My wallet was showing an allocation of 34 million $ZORA in the checker. Even after the so-called “30x reduction,” I should’ve received over 1 million tokens. Instead, I got banned and received zero. Not because of a bug — but simply for being too active. And there are many more like me.

🚨 The dev team you should remember forever as scammers:

🚩 @js_horne
🚩 @dg_goens
🚩 @tbtstl
🚩 @slavakim
🚩 @stevejang

🏦 I honestly can’t understand how top funds like @cbventures, @HaunVentures, @KindredVenturesinves ted $60 million in this team. Do you seriously not care that you gave your money to scammers who did everything to deceive their community? By funding this mess, you’ve stained your own reputations. You’ve helped bring this scam to life!

🛂 The @Zora team is yet another example of a fraudulent Web3 project that @SECGov should definitely investigate. These are the kinds of people who belong in prison. It’s because of teams like this that fraud continues to thrive in crypto.

⛔️ Zora didn’t reward the community. They exploited it. This isn’t a mistake. It’s their model. Maximum for themselves — minimum for the people.

⛔️ Zora is not Web3. It’s a centralized scam disguised as decentralization.

‼️ Our mission now is to destroy this scam:
👉 Sell every NFT you ever minted on Zora
👉 Withdraw all your funds from their ecosystem
👉 Forget this scam forever — but never forget the developers who created it.

🔃 Spread the word. Retweet this. Share your losses in the comments 👇

We know customer support at Coinbase has been criticized. We hear you, we are consistently improving and want to bring you along the way.

Here’s how we’re making it happen:

1. Saving customers’ time by fixing product issues early and removing roadblocks before they turn into support needs

2. Reducing the customer’s effort by leveling up our automation with better APIs, knowledge base improvements, and AI-powered tools

3. Making it easier to talk to a human by minimizing chatbot barriers

4. And for those moments you need live support, you can expect faster resolutions and higher quality help. We have rolled out new tools to our team to better assist you in real-time

By investing in these areas, we’re building momentum:

- In August our Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) hit an all-time high – up +20% over the last 2 months. A good step forward, but we’ve got plenty more to do.

- Reduced customer contact transfers to 10% to make support quicker. Less customer effort, faster resolutions, and higher satisfaction.

Grateful to the Customer Experience team for their progress in keeping customers safe and supported. We know there’s more work ahead, and we’re continuously improving. Tag me with any issues or thoughts.

[Botanical Bob @veecee00]

@jwesgriffith Despite the additional support solutions, there’s a glaring elephant in the room - massive fraud with no response from @zora a Coinbase backed company, which onboards capital through @base & @coinbase, where the founders & team are rugpulling users

[🍑 Crypto Yoga Pants 😈 @CryptoYogaPants]

Doing business with known scammer and fraudster Sahil was a desperate move to attempt to onboard celebrities to their platform. The evidence is there in plain sight that there were payments made between said parties @zora @js_horne and Sahil.

The top creator was banned after speaking out on the bad actors involved in this, causing financial harm to thousands of users.

This is not a coincidence. This is a co-ordinated attack to cover up wrongdoing.

[jpegadas @jpegadas]

Twitter now posting relevant headlines

[SlickRick @Lukeee_23]

This is one of the Co founder of @zora talking about positive energy while him and his partner @js_horne completely ruined the lives of over 4000 holders and remain silent about it. Nobody should want to associate their business with them. They are absolutely shameless.

[Sigma @0amgiS]

@shadownomics @jessepollak @FBI @CNBC @Cointelegraph

[Shadownomics ⚛️ @shadownomics]

If we have to get involved @jessepollak it will not get better this is theft your actions going silent only makes all of you look even more guilty of coordination & working with Sahil while knowing he’s a bad actor is criminal negligence your waiver for law suits is now invalid😈

[Botanical Bob @veecee00]

@TheRealNomics @js_horne @jessepollak @base @FBI @CFTC @Cointelegraph @grok if an LLC founder acts negligently or in bad faith defrauding platform users, is that sufficient for a small claims court case personally against the founder if there is a preponderance of evidence? What is the max amount of small claims damages & how many people can file?

[TheRealNomics 😼🚀 @TheRealNomics]

#Zora @js_horne @jessepollak @base need 2b look into as an organized crime network in crypto 100% colluding with known scammers by Jesse’s own admission in writing & targeting unsuspecting celebrities & large creator accounts 2 steal millions @fbi @cftc @Cointelegraph 🚨 #RICO

[Branz_Allanz @b_allanz]

Have got no idea how these 2 scammers @jessepollak @js_horne were entrusted to run a $600 million @zora with backing from @coinbase @KindredVentures @paradigm , @brian_armstrong you need to vet your crypto projects and people you trust to run your projects better.

Here is why, see the thread below:

1. Sahil (@villainmonkey) is a well known scammer. He is known to scam celebrities such as:

a. Caitlyn Jenner (@Caitlyn_Jenner)

b. Jason Derulo (@jasonderulo)

c. Bobbi Althoff (@thebobbialthoff)

d. Floyd Mayweather Jr. (@FloydMayweather)

e. Adin Ross (@adinross)

f. Iggy Azalea (@IGGYAZALEA)

the fact that @jessepollak chose to correspond and coordinate with such a well known scammer makes what he says below a lie, it isn't a ' bias to be open minded' more like lying to cover up your tracks when confronted by @zachxbt with why you worked with @villainmonkey in the first place.

here is a YouTube video from coffeezilla (@coffeebreak_YT), who did an interview with sahil and his list of scams are being exposed:
https://t.co/y3sgPj6fHy

2. $Kazonomics, the top creator on @zora , was pulled off from @zora with no warning or reason provided, devastating both the creator and the 4200 holders, robbing $20M+ in holder money overnight. This is robbery. When the @TheRealNomics asked for an explanation for this, he was blocked by @zora

https://t.co/Ys4lWBudOy

If there was any sort of violation of any terms by $kazonomics, an explanation should be provided on why he was banned from the platform. instead @zora @js_horne @jessepollak all chose to stay silent and refuse to speak about this despite the community asking for an explanation with multiple tags all over x and not one response from any members from @zora . No public explanation from @zora despite terms requiring notice.

3. Sahil wrote below on $kazonomics coin on his x wall (screenshot attached below).
https://t.co/Nf2WGE5pUQ
With a known and written confession by @jessepollak on how he coordinated with Sahil, seems very suspicious that the entire take down of $kazonomics was to intentionally rug the entire creator coin down and steal $20M+ in holder money and destroy 4200 lives and their futures.

@elonmusk you speak about rooting out scamming bots online, well there are actual scamming projects and people here like @zora @jessepollak @js_horne @villainmonkey rugging and destroying people within X, your platform that you are hoping to make it a truth speaking app. There are bad actors within this social media platform who do nothing but to lie and destroy people. Would be great if you can implement a system to root out these people to make x great.

[Eli @Eli23Upaya]

What @jessepollak @js_horne are saying is "there is a world where we can make a living - rugging content creators & their followers" gfy 🖕

They colluded with @villainmonkey & @CaterinaLopez to de-platform #1 content creator $Kazonomics on @zora 🤬

@base isn't for everyone!

@AbrakadabraCorp @zora @tbtstl @slavakim @js_horne @coinbase @base @jessepollak @abc7newsbayarea @Channel5iveNews SF-based Zora, Coinbase, Paradigm Ventures, and Haun Ventures are colluding together in a RICO-like fashion to consistently steal user funds - look at all the livelihoods destroyed in these testimonials @FBI

[TheRealNomics 😼🚀 @TheRealNomics]

Key point 4 all harmed the fact @jessepollak acknowledged Sahil was a bad actor & still intro him 2 @js_horne means their legal trickery in terms of service 2 hand cuff anyone with issue go 2 arbitration is now in question…we can class action these dirt bags & #Zora 👀…🚨

[Botanical Bob @veecee00]

@AbrakadabraCorp @zora @tbtstl @slavakim @js_horne @coinbase @base @jessepollak So disheartening and angering to read all these stories and damage caused by @zora against honest and genuine hardworking people - filing reports with @bbb_us and @fbi is just the start for this disgusting behavior @js_horne @jessepollak you will not get away with this

[abrakadabracorp @AbrakadabraCorp]

Thread of real stories from real people who trusted @zora and the damage they received in return.

@tbtstl @slavakim @js_horne @coinbase @base @jessepollak
2 days ago @zora banned the #1 creator of the platform $kazonomics account without any prior notice, what resulted in the complete destruction of brand and financials of its 4000+ holders. Since then there was no reply or explanation issued from any representative of @zora.

If you were damaged by that, tell your story in the comments, share it, so other people see the reality and how it affected you. People have the right to know and stay safe.
