anchored·4E9qFd…ADEcSummary
Crypto Beast is the online handle of Chris Woytko (@cryptobeastreal), a crypto influencer with approximately 800,000 X followers who has been publicly exposed by on-chain investigator ZachXBT for allegedly orchestrating a pump-and-dump scheme on the $ALT (Altcoin Fun) token in July 2025. According to ZachXBT's on-chain analysis, 45 linked wallets coordinated an $11 million dump on July 14, 2025, collapsing the token from a $190 million market cap to approximately $3 million within hours. ZachXBT also documented an alleged pattern of similar bundled rug-pull operations across at least six prior tokens ($ALPHA, $RICH, $YE, $RUG, $ACE, $JOHN). No confirmed legal or regulatory action had been filed as of the time of research.

“[Scout] ZachXBT exposed influencer Crypto Beast for orchestrating an $11M ALT token pump-and-dump in July 2025, crashing the token from a $190M market cap to $3M within minutes via 45 coordinated insider wallets. The corpus page was last updated July 26, 2026. An update should note that Crypto Beast returned to X after a brief deactivation, still holds 89M ALT tokens (~10% of total supply) posing continued manipulation risk, and has a documented pattern of prior rug pulls (ALPHA, RICH, YE, RUG, ACE, JOHN).”
