Sahil Arora
Summary
Sahil Arora (also known online as 'Sahil Crypto', formerly @Habibi_Comm on X) is an Indian-born, Dubai-based entrepreneur documented across multiple Tier 2 sources as a serial celebrity memecoin operator who allegedly orchestrated pump-and-dump schemes involving Caitlyn Jenner, Jason Derulo, Iggy Azalea, Rich the Kid, Floyd Mayweather, Davido, and others between 2021 and 2025. He allegedly paid celebrities fees ranging from $15,000 to $200,000+ per promotional post while secretly controlling 25–40% of each token's supply, then dumping his holdings immediately after the celebrity promotion caused a price spike. Arora was permanently banned from X in June 2024 and admitted in public interviews to profiting from rug pulls; in July 2025 Dubai authorities reportedly detained him and seized assets exceeding $20 million, though Arora publicly denied arrest via video.
