A member of the X crypto community who identifies as Roxo has suggested the identity of the “hacker” who compromised the X accounts of celebrity Caitlyn Jenner, rappers Soul Ja Boy and Rich The Kid, and adult-content models Kazumi and Ivana Knöll. Roxo, who appears to be an 18-year-old located in Miami with 17,100 followers, posted his solution to a mysterious wave of suspicious tweets posted over the weekend of May 25-26.
“She [Jenner] was never hacked, Her team was socially engineered by a guy named Sahil,” Roxo <a href="https://x.com/CryptoRoxo/status/1794927509785465042" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">tweeted</a>. Instead, he suggested, the other celebrities were rugged. Roxo reproduced a Telegram post of Sahil Arora and various pictures from his account, including one of him posing with Rich The Kid. Roxo also pointed out that the coins launched on pump.fun on behalf of Soul Ja Boy, Rich The Kid, Kazumi, and Knöll all connected to Arora’s wallet address.

JENNER coin was a legitimate launch that thoroughly confused Jenner’s “team,” according to Roxo. They also reproduced a tweet on Jenner’s X account urging followers to “send me some of your favorite memecoins” at the address Roxo identified as Arora’s. The post was on her account when Roxo posted, they said, but it has since apparently been deleted.
Jenner has doubled down on promoting JENNER. “That ad for a third party token was taken down! As I have said from the beginning the only focus I have is $Jenner and the ad I posted confused too many people, and was not worth it. Like I had said time and time again I’m fully focused on my token $Jenner,” she posted on X.

“As I said!! They only want money and act naive!!!!” and “She abandoned me and now not answering any of my calls/msgs. They are now threatening me to get off here,” Arora replied in reposts.
Jenner’s manager, Sophia Hutchins,&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/Caitlyn_Jenner/status/1794843428708335960" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">confirmed</a> that the JENNER coin was real and the account had not been hacked.
Roxo continued in his post, “Sahil has now successfully ran 5 influencer rugs this week.” His allegation was supported by a post by Rich The Kid on his X account. The rapper <a href="https://x.com/richthekid/status/1795097857038389328" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">said</a> in a video:
<blockquote>
 “Yesterday my page was hacked and a coin was promoted on my page by Sahil. […] This guy pretty much made a pump and dump and dumped all the money in his account and blocked me. So you guys tune in for the new coin.”
</blockquote>
The fifth scam might have been on the account of crypto investor Gigantic-Cassocked-Rebirth (GCR), who <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/wave-crypto-influencers-celebrity-x-accounts-caitlyn-jenner-hacked">claimed his account had been hacked</a> in a post that has since been deleted.

Arora hosted four Twitter Spaces on May 27, only one of which lasted longer than five minutes. “Let’s Fukin' Answer the scammers today. Let’s Work on our own Asset,” and “I will answer more questions not limited to: 1) About the SOL Scan 2) How I got betrayed,” he posted ahead of the events. When Cointelegraph listened in to the longest broadcast, the conversation was not related to the memecoins. His account (@sahilsaysol) was deleted several minutes later.
