Arora

American media personality Caitlyn Jenner has become the latest celebrity to accuse memecoin collaborator Sahil Arora of having “scammed” them, following a series of bizarre celebrity token launches on May 26.
“FUCK SAHIL! He scammed us! BIG TIME,” Jenner’s X account <a href="https://x.com/Caitlyn_Jenner/status/1795269306693075404" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">posted</a> when asked whether Sahil Arora was behind the JENNER token launch.

The controversial token launch attracted plenty of attention as its market cap rose to $43 million within the first 24 hours, <a href="https://dexscreener.com/solana/crr7jdt5lxt6jcrqwqnb2epf1sntn3jxpv3kgdirpatx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">according</a> to DEX Screener. However, it has since fallen 52.8% to $20.3 million.
Despite the fallout with Arora, Jenner <a href="https://x.com/Caitlyn_Jenner/status/1795273262924230894" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">iterated</a> it doesn’t mean they won’t continue to invest and promote the JENNER token.
JENNER “isn’t going anywhere but up,” the former Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete <a href="https://x.com/Caitlyn_Jenner/status/1795277298490605934" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said.</a>
“But Sahil appears to be fully out, at the moment,” she added.&nbsp;
The crypto community is still debating whether the posts are genuinely from Jenner.
Interestingly, American rapper “Rich the Kid” (Dimitri Leslie Roger) recently <a href="https://x.com/richthekid/status/1795097857038389328" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">claimed</a> his X account was hacked by Arora, alleging he used it to promote the recently launched “RICH” token.
<blockquote>
 “This guy pretty much made a pump-and-dump and dumped all the money into his account and blocked me.”
</blockquote>

“I bet he won’t be launching many celebs coins again based on the conversations I’ve been having,” Jenner <a href="https://x.com/Caitlyn_Jenner/status/1795277298490605934" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a> in a separate post.

On Monday, eagle-eyed users on X notice that a cryptocurrency wallet address posted by Jenner also happened to the same wallet posted by adult content creator Kazumi, who is also suspected to have been <a href="https://x.com/CryptoRoxo/status/1794871254824186298/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">hacked</a> when promoting the coin “ZUMI” on May 20.
The discovery led pseudonymous cryptocurrency sleuth Roxo to <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/celebrity-x-accounts-hacked-roxo-identifies-sahil-arora" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">connect Arora</a> to both token launches and that the memecoin collaborator “socially engineered” Jenner’s team.
<blockquote>
 “After launching the token and getting Caitlyn to promote it he dumped all the tokens from the deployer wallet and more he had sniped on burner wallets.”
</blockquote>
However, on-chain data suggests there hasn’t been a dump — at least for now.
