Crypto KOL Professor Crypto has yet to publicly respond to allegations that it used bots to manipulate its social media metrics and influence, shortly after winning the "Best Content Creator" award. On-chain detective ZachXBT accused it of using "thousands of bots" to "trick people into thinking you have influence". He also suggested the move could violate a US FTC rule that "prohibits anyone from selling or buying false social media influence metrics, such as followers or views generated by bots or hijacked accounts". Professor Crypto has not yet publicly responded to the allegation, but has deleted several posts showing that he won the "Best Content Creator" award at the DeGen Summit in Singapore on September 17.
