Crypto sleuth ZachXBT returning unspent legal defense funds

Crypto investigator ZachXBT is refunding the unspent portion of the $1 million raised for his legal defense against Jeffrey Huang, also known as MachiBigBrother. After wrapping up the lawsuit against MachiBigBrother, crypto sleuth ZachXBT is returning the unspent portion of the $1 million in legal donations. ZachXBT stated, “The legal refund claim contract is now live for all donors who donated on Ethereum, Arbitrum , and zkSync for the next 365 days.”

ZachXBT’s Pro-Rata Refund for Lawsuit Donations

In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), ZachXBT has stated he has started processing refunds for individuals who supported his legal defense against Jeffrey Huang, better known as MachiBigBrother. Huang filed a lawsuit against the anonymous online investigator in June. He alleged that ZachXBT’s article “A Story Of Machi Big Brother (Jeff Huang)” – published in June 2022 – damaged his reputation.

ZachXBT stated that some supporters may not seek refunds. However, he will refrain from making assumptions until one year has elapsed: “Some people have expressed that they wish to donate their unused funds to me. After the 365 day claim period is up funds not claimed will be interpreted as a donation to fund future work.”

Amid concerns about hackers targeting notable X accounts, ZachXBT introduced extra security measures to ensure the authenticity of his refund distributions. “I have signed a message from the Zachxbt legal fund donation address to verify my identity,” he stated.

Recent cyberattacks on X accounts within the crypto community have resulted in substantial losses for victims. Notably, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently fell victim to a hack. Malicious actors then proceeded to share a fraudulent Consensys link with his followers. This incident led to nearly $700,000 in losses as victims connected their wallets to the link, believing they would receive a complimentary non-fungible token (NFT).
