A prominent member of the crypto community, Roxo, who has 17,100 followers on X (formerly Twitter), claims to have identified the individual behind a series of high-profile memecoin scams. Roxo suggests that Sahil Arora is the “hacker” responsible for compromising the X accounts of Caitlyn Jenner, rappers Soulja Boy and Rich The Kid, and adult-content models Kazumi and Ivana Knöll. According to Roxo, Jenner’s team fell victim to social engineering rather than hacking, while the other celebrities suffered a “rug pull.”
Details of the Alleged Scams
Over the weekend of May 25-26, Roxo shared his findings, alleging that Arora orchestrated the scams. He provided a Telegram post and photos from Arora’s account, including one with Rich The Kid. Roxo also pointed out that the coins launched on pump.fun for Soulja Boy, Rich The Kid, Kazumi, and Knöll all linked to Arora’s wallet address.
Jenner Coin Launch
Caitlyn Jenner’s manager, Sophia Hutchins, confirmed that the JENNER coin, promoted by Jenner, was legitimate. Roxo noted that Jenner’s team was confused, not hacked. Jenner reaffirmed her commitment to the JENNER coin in a tweet, stating that a third-party token ad, which had caused confusion, was removed.

Reaction from Victims
Rich The Kid verified in a video that his account was hacked and that Sahil Arora executed a pump-and-dump scheme, blocked him, and took the money. This supports Roxo’s allegations that Arora conducted five influencer scams in one week.
Additional Victims and Activities
Another potential victim, crypto investor Gigantic-Cassocked-Rebirth (GCR), claimed his account was hacked, though the post has since been deleted. On May 27, Arora hosted four Twitter Spaces to address the allegations, but only one session lasted longer than five minutes. In his posts before these events, Arora mentioned plans to discuss the SOL scan and claimed betrayal by others involved.
