The unidentified user’s account allegations are “unsubstantiated” and meant to “trap people to download spyware,” according to Telegram.

An unidentified individual captured the attention of the cryptocurrency world this week by claiming to disclose the wrongdoings of notable crypto advocates and top businesses in the sector.

The putative whistleblower, who goes by the Twitter handle “Adyingnobody,” has threatened to “tear a wedge in the entire society” by revealing Telegram chats obtained through a previously unknown flaw in the chatting program. They are alleged to have proof of everything from fraud and rug pulls to homicide, theft, and sexual abuse in a string.

Because of the gravity of the allegations, the unnamed user attracted the attention of the cryptocurrency Twitter community, moving from zero to 36,000 followers in a matter of hours. The Ethereum account location shown in the person’s Twitter bio has also generated 43 payments, which could be suggestions from others who want a sneak preview of what they’re planning to reveal.

Regardless of the allegations, worried members of society turned to Twitter to urge people to exercise caution and vigilance while interacting with the supposed whistleblowers. If we ignore their spectacular claims, the bottom URL simply “downloads a zip file” and “signs a contract,” according to a Person on Twitter, Kapluie. This is a “hacky looking item,” as per the Twitter user, who advises against downloading it.

While it’s conceivable that the allegations are accurate, Twitter user Cryptonator1337 cautioned that anyone who downloads the unknown person should be cautious. They wrote on Twitter:

Besides the two, Twitter user Zugged pointed out that Adyingnobody’s claims were false, labelling the deed a “scare tactic.” Zugged referred to a list of Telegram’s flaws, emphasizing that non-downloading of them is equivalent to what Adyingnobody alleges to have exposed.

The allegations were publicly reacted to by Telegram. The conduct could be an effort to “get consumers to install malware,” according to the message:

Adyingnobody did not respond to Cointelegraph’s request for comment.

Similarly, social media is being accused of $1 billion in cryptocurrency fraud damages.
