Sahil Arora, a prominent super villain of this cycle in the celebrity cryptocurrency space, recently participated in a series of interviews and discussions regarding his involvement in various celebrity-backed cryptocurrency project launches. And, most recently in an intimate exclusive interview with $CTMZ. During these conversations, Sahil disclosed several key points.
Brokering Deals
Sahil acknowledged brokering deals for celebrities like Caitlyn Jenner and others, including allegedly paying influencers like Ansem for their involvement in projects. Arora also hinted at many upcoming celebrity launches and name dropped a few.
Admission Of Payments
He admitted to paying influencers like Ansem for their participation in the $MOTHER token and the $JENNER SOL token. Ansem later refuted these claims live in the $CTMZ interview and asserted that he is always transparent.
Strategic Planning
Sahil discussed developing more complex strategies with celebrities, aiming to move beyond one-time posts and quick money schemes. He highlighted considering extending his 24hr celebrity launch cycles to as far as 7 days.
Media Attention
Sahil mentions receiving offers from media organizations, including Cointelegraph, for interviews and press releases.
Background in NFTs and TRON
Sahil shared his background in the NFT space and his work with the TRON ecosystem, referencing Justin Sun and the SEC charges against celebrities involved with TRON. We asked Sahil if Solana condoned and supported these celebrity launches. He enthusiastically responded “yes”!
Market Manipulation Views
Sahil expressed his views on market manipulation, highlighting how projects with large financial backing can easily manipulate the market compared to smaller, decentralized projects.
Legal Implications
Sahil pointed out the legal implications of celebrities promoting products they have been paid to endorse, especially if they mislead the public and profit from it.
Denial By Ansem
Ansem, arguably one of the most notable influencers in the space, denied launching the $MOTHER token and claimed not to know Sahil, despite Sahil’s earlier statements. Overall, Sahil’s admissions provide insight into the complex and often controversial world of celebrity-backed cryptocurrency projects, raising questions about transparency, legality, and the ethics of influencer involvement in the crypto space.
UPDATE!
Since the writing of this article Sahil has had multiple X accounts suspended from the platform. A few times Aurora has opened a new account only to have it removed shortly after. For the most part his coins no longer pump at the ferosity that they used to. His private telegram group “XO” is still actively launching tokens and his account appears most active on Instagram.
