Zeus Capital Offers Influencers 5 BTC For LINK FUD

Zeus Capital is elaborating its business and offering the influencers a considerable number of BTC for the same. The firm is targeting prominent members of Crypto Twitter payment to spread news which are unfavourable about crypto payment.

According to a screenshot posted to Twitter by ‘The Wolf of All Streets’ Scott Melker on July 29, Zeus Capital reached out to him asking them if he’d be willing to post an analysis of Chainlink (LINK) to social media “for a fee.”

Melker, who has more than 108,000 followers, was not the only influencer to report the offer. Josh Rager said he’d simply ignored the firm’s messages. Crypto Twitter user Smokey posted a screenshot of an identical message to his 17,500 followers.

The “fee” to which Zeus is referring was left ambiguous by users who didn’t take up the firm on its offer. But one user, icebergy, who has more than 12K followers, reached out to Zeus with an offer to post a “bad LINK chart” for 5 Bitcoin (BTC) — roughly $55,000 at the time of writing. According to a screenshot response, purportedly from Zeus Capital, the firm inquired if the offer was still valid.

Zeus authored a report recently claiming it was building a Chainlink short position with a target of 99% gains. However, its website appears to have been registered only seven months ago, and the firm’s Twitter account has been suspended for violations of the platform’s terms of use multiple times.
