{"investigation":{"slug":"oramama-token-oramama","entity_name":"ORAMAMA Token ($ORAMAMA)","trust_score":0,"severity_base":null,"score_modifier":-8,"confidence":0.82,"status":"published","content_type":"investigation","summary":"$ORAMAMA is a low-liquidity Solana meme coin that blockchain investigator ZachXBT identified as the subject of an alleged coordinated pump-and-dump on February 22, 2026, carried out by a network of X (Twitter) accounts that had earlier built audiences using fabricated war and geopolitical content. On-chain evidence cited by ZachXBT allegedly shows six-figure profits for the operators, though the exact figures, account count, and even the token's precise identity are inconsistently reported across outlets. No regulator or law-enforcement action has been identified; findings rest almost entirely on one investigator's unverified thread as republished by crypto trade press.","sections":[{"content":"According to a thread published by on-chain investigator ZachXBT, a cluster of roughly ten X accounts that had spent weeks posting fabricated war and political content pivoted on February 22, 2026 to simultaneously promote a token called $ORAMAMA, described in coverage as a low-liquidity Solana meme coin. The accounts posted about the token once and did not mention it again afterward, a pattern consistent with a pump-and-dump in which promoters sell into the attention they generate. ZachXBT said on-chain evidence indicated the scheme produced 'six-figure' profits for the operators, though no outlet reviewed has published the underlying wallet addresses, transaction hashes, or an exact dollar figure. Reported outlets attribute all details to ZachXBT's thread; none claims independent on-chain verification of the profit estimate. Separately, current token trackers show at least two similarly named Solana tokens (one minted as 'ORAMAMA'/ORA MAMA and another as 'ORANMAMA'/Oran Mama), both carrying only a few thousand dollars of liquidity and flagged as unverified, which complicates confirming which specific token and mint address the scheme involved.","heading":"The alleged $ORAMAMA pump-and-dump (February 22, 2026)","sources":[{"url":"https://cointelegraph.com/news/zachxbt-fake-war-posts-x-crypto-scam-network","name":"ZachXBT says fake X accounts used viral war content to drive crypto scams - Cointelegraph","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://coinpedia.org/news/scammers-are-using-the-iran-war-to-steal-from-crypto-users-zachxbts-full-expose/","name":"Scammers are using the Iran war to steal from crypto users: ZachXBT's full exposé - CoinPedia","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2035989255395082589","name":"ZachXBT thread (via Thread Reader App)","type":"social_media","credibility":3},{"url":"https://dailyhodl.com/2026/03/26/coordinated-network-of-x-accounts-manufacturing-geopolitical-panic-to-fuel-pump-and-dump-crypto-scams-zachxbt/","name":"Coordinated Network of X Accounts Manufacturing Geopolitical Panic To Fuel Pump-and-Dump Crypto Scams: ZachXBT - The Daily Hodl","type":"news_article","credibility":2}],"severity":"critical"},{"content":"Reporting describes a wider network of more than ten X accounts, allegedly operated by the same party, that were purchased after having already accumulated real follower bases. ZachXBT said the network's lead example account, '@wanglaurentceo' (user ID 1804235884826333184, reported following of roughly 79,900), was an AI-generated persona built by running crypto commentator Mario Nawfal's likeness through an image generator to create a fabricated 'Asian version' of him, and that the account changed its username at least 17 times, including variants such as 'usdtt11', 'xrpinsol', and 'edtrumpofficial', apparently to evade detection. The network allegedly posted alarmist, sometimes fabricated, war and political content multiple times a day — one example cited is a claim that Iran threatened to cut undersea cables carrying 95–99% of global internet traffic, which reportedly reached about 1.8 million views and tens of thousands of retweets despite being flagged as inaccurate by X's Community Notes. Related or alt accounts allegedly cross-reposted this content to manufacture virality, and large legitimate accounts reportedly amplified it unknowingly by replying or quoting it. Once engagement peaked, the network allegedly pivoted to fake giveaways and token promotions, including $ORAMAMA. These claims originate from ZachXBT's own thread and have not been independently corroborated with primary account data by the news outlets covering it.","heading":"Coordinated network and alleged AI-generated fake personas","sources":[{"url":"https://coinpedia.org/news/scammers-are-using-the-iran-war-to-steal-from-crypto-users-zachxbts-full-expose/","name":"Scammers are using the Iran war to steal from crypto users: ZachXBT's full exposé - CoinPedia","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://crypto2community.com/crypto-news/zachxbt-exposes-x-network-using-war-panic-to-push-crypto-scams/","name":"ZachXBT exposes X network using war panic to push crypto scams - Crypto2Community","type":"news_article","credibility":3},{"url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/03/23/from-war-clickbait-to-6-figure-crypto-rugs-zachxbt-exposes-x-farming-scam/","name":"From War Clickbait To 6-Figure Crypto Rugs: ZachXBT Exposes X Farming Scam - Crypto Times","type":"news_article","credibility":2}],"severity":"high"},{"content":"Coverage of ZachXBT's thread reports that all of the roughly 11 accounts he identified blocked him on X at approximately the same time shortly after his findings were published, which he said looked 'almost as if they're operated by one person.'

Coverage also notes that Nikita Bier, X's head of product, was said to be aware of the accounts, in the context of broader platform efforts around anti-bot detection and labeling of AI-generated content.

He said it was 'scary' to consider the same mechanism being run by a nation-state actor rather than a meme-coin scammer, given how inexpensively and easily it could be operated, and called for platform bans and legal consequences for this kind of manipulation. Several outlets echoed this framing, describing the tactics as resembling propaganda methods that could in principle be adopted by state-linked actors, but no source identified any actual nation-state involvement in the $ORAMAMA scheme itself — the nation-state reference is explicitly speculative and attributed to ZachXBT's own commentary, not to an established finding.","heading":"Broader pattern and alleged nation-state warning","sources":[{"url":"https://cointelegraph.com/news/zachxbt-fake-war-posts-x-crypto-scam-network","name":"ZachXBT says fake X accounts used viral war content to drive crypto scams - Cointelegraph","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/03/23/from-war-clickbait-to-6-figure-crypto-rugs-zachxbt-exposes-x-farming-scam/","name":"From War Clickbait To 6-Figure Crypto Rugs: ZachXBT Exposes X Farming Scam - Crypto Times","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://www.tradingview.com/news/cointelegraph:3ce5ebb59094b:0-zachxbt-says-fake-x-accounts-used-viral-war-content-to-drive-crypto-scams/","name":"ZachXBT says fake X accounts used viral war content to drive crypto scams - TradingView (Cointelegraph syndication)","type":"news_article","credibility":2}],"severity":"medium"},{"content":"Nearly all available reporting on $ORAMAMA traces back to a single source — ZachXBT's March 2026 thread on X — republished and lightly rephrased by numerous crypto trade outlets rather than independently verified. Key figures are inconsistent across coverage: the number of accounts in the network is variously reported as 10, 11, or 16; the profit figure is only ever described qualitatively as 'six figures' with no cited wallet addresses or transaction records; and the token's identity is ambiguous, with on-chain data showing at least two similarly named but distinct Solana tokens ('ORAMAMA'/ORA MAMA and 'ORANMAMA'/Oran Mama), both currently showing only a few thousand dollars in liquidity. No regulatory, law-enforcement, or platform-confirmed statement about $ORAMAMA specifically has been identified.
