In a September 19 post on its platform, X\u2019s Global Government Affairs team released<\/a> a statement, alleging that some suspended accounts involved in crypto scams and platform manipulation engaged middlemen to try to bribe its employees.

According to the Global Government Affairs team\u2019s report, the alleged perpetrators also exploit social media platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Minecraft, and Roblox.
