  • X said suspended accounts tied to crypto scams paid intermediaries to approach employees for reinstatement.
  • The platform reported exposing the network and initiating cases while supporting ongoing law-enforcement investigations.
  • X linked the activity to broader criminal organizations, including the FBI-flagged group known as The Com.
