Nawfal’s Team Claims Account Was Compromised After Promoting Fake Adin Ross Token

Mario Nawfal's Crypto Account Caught Promoting Fake Adin Ross Token Amid Accusations of Deliberate Scam

  • Mario Nawfal’s crypto account promoted a fake Adin Ross token (ROSS) twice before claiming the account was compromised by a team member.
  • Cryptocurrency community members expressed skepticism about Nawfal’s explanation, noting his account’s previous connections to other “rug pull” tokens.
  • Nawfal has a controversial history in the crypto space, including accusations of artificially inflating social media engagement and running questionable business operations.

The crypto Twitter account managed by Mario Nawfal has become embroiled in controversy after promoting a fraudulent token associated with streamer Adin Ross. The account claims it was compromised by a team member when it shared promotions for a “ROSS” token that reached a $7 million market cap before crashing in what appears to be a classic “rug pull” scheme.

On Monday, the RoundtableSpace account on X (formerly Twitter) promoted the ROSS token before quickly deleting the post. Despite this initial deletion, the account proceeded to share the token’s contract address the following day, raising suspicions among cryptocurrency observers.

After the token’s price collapsed, Nawfal’s account claimed a team member had been manipulated by a user named “@hardsnipe” into promoting the fraudulent token. The explanation stated the compromised team member had been convinced to share the fake Adin Ross token with followers.

This justification was met with immediate skepticism across crypto Twitter. One user directly challenged the explanation, writing “Do you think we’re f*cking stupid?” Others labeled it as a poor excuse or “HARD TO BELIEVE.” Another commenter described Nawfal’s explanation as “a polite way of saying I rugged you.”

Cryptocurrency investigator Dethective noted that the team behind the ROSS token promotion had previously been connected to another token called GAY that was promoted through Nawfal’s account weeks earlier. According to Dethective, that token was also subsequently “rugged” after reaching a $32 million valuation.

User Vydamo summed up community sentiment, stating: “You post like 34 rugs a week I’m just going to assume that this explanation is because a single person from your team made money rather than mario directly.”

This incident adds to Mario Nawfal’s already questionable reputation in the cryptocurrency space. He has previously been accused of artificially inflating social media engagement metrics, with critics pointing to suspiciously consistent daily listener averages on his Twitter Spaces that included dubious international accounts.

Online investigator Upper Echelon has challenged the legitimacy of Nawfal’s business operations, suggesting his “incubator” charges clients instead of investing in them as traditional incubators do. Reports indicate his firm, International Blockchain Consulting, sources questionable services including bot engagement, fake followers, and forum spamming.

Nawfal’s team claims it will pursue legal action against team members involved in the unauthorized ROSS token promotion. According to reports, the Roundtable account has not posted any updates since the controversy erupted.
