X Corp and X Internet Unlimited Company have filed a High Court lawsuit in England against two named defendants and unidentified operators, alleging they ran a coordinated network of Bitcoin-focused accounts that manipulated engagement to collect at least £207,384 from the platform’s Creator Revenue Sharing Program.
The claim, numbered BL-2026-001161 and filed Sept. 17 in the Business and Property Courts of England and Wales, names Vivek Kumar Sen, Zamyang Sherpa and “persons unknown” who X says controlled related accounts. The company suspended the disputed accounts on Aug. 18 before filing the action, and the claims have not yet been adjudicated.
X identifies six primary accounts enrolled in Creator Revenue Sharing between August 2023 and February 2026: @Vivek4real_, @Bitcoin_Teddy, @saylordocs, @TrendingBitcoin, @Kalshibacktest and @PolyBackTest. It links payment accounts for the first three to Sen and the remaining three to Sherpa. The filing lists payouts of £74,332.44 for @Vivek4real_, about £50,065 plus a smaller payment converted from Paraguayan guaraní for @Bitcoin_Teddy, £49,441.91 for @saylordocs, £22,938.35 for @TrendingBitcoin, £3,490.71 for @Kalshibacktest, and £6,705.25 for @PolyBackTest.
X alleges the accounts acted “as a single coordinated network” to inflate monetizable engagement. The complaint says @Vivek4real_, @saylordocs and @Bitcoin_Teddy replied to the same third-party post within 31 seconds on Aug. 13; @TrendingBitcoin, @Vivek4real_ and @Bitcoin_Teddy published matching content within minutes on July 23, July 26 and Aug. 3; and @Vivek4real_ and @TrendingBitcoin posted substantially similar material just 11 seconds apart on Aug. 5. Additional handles @BTC_Vibes, @MrSuperBitcoin and @Laserlump are named as accounts that repeatedly liked, replied to and reposted content from the primary accounts.
The company also estimates at least £75,000 in investigation, analysis, remediation and prevention costs. Its claims include deceit, unlawful-means conspiracy, breach of contract, unjust enrichment and knowing receipt. X seeks recovery of the funds, damages, restitution, interest under Section 35A of the Senior Courts Act 1981, and legal costs.
The case arrives as X retires the older monetization system. Creator Revenue Sharing ended Sept. 7, with final payouts around Sept. 11, and the new Original Content Rewards program began rolling out Sept. 8. Under the new rules, payouts are based on qualified impressions generated by original material viewed by Premium subscribers, and fraudulent, paid, promoted or artificially generated impressions are excluded. X says US creators receive payouts through X Money, while non-US creators connect a Stripe payout account and complete identity verification. In the UK filing, no defense or court judgment had been publicly located as of Sept. 21.
