The cryptocurrency community is currently awash with accusations of fraud directed at supply chain blockchain platform Waltonchain, who stands accused of orchestrating a fake Valentine’s day giveaway as evidenced in a Tweet posted from their account earlier this week.
Waltonchain announced a Valentine’s day giveaway on the 8th of February, promising an automatic contest-entry to anybody that retweeted the official campaign tweet a share in 565 WTC, split between 214 winners.
The promotion ran until the 27th of February and appeared to be a fairly standard promotional scheme — until one of the “lucky winners” took to Waltonchain’s own Twitter account to celebrate their good fortune in sharing in the prize pool.
As illustrated in the now-deleted tweet, the “Waltonchain employee” that apparently won a share of WTC “forgot” to log out of the company Twitter account and into their own before posting their celebratory tweet, which is the narrative that Waltonchain has now staunchly adopted in response to widespread criticism.
Waltonchain has since released an official response to the blunder, claiming that winners of the event were selected at random with a script that included a Waltonchain employee as one of the winners.
While Waltonchain has released a video of the script in action selecting winners and stated that the employee’s winnings have since been canceled, conspiracy theories regarding the strange tweet abound.
