Crypto Sleuth Reveals Cameron Redman’s Recent NFT Twitter Scam
On-chain analyst and crypto fraud investigator ZachXBT reveals that Cameron Redmans is suspected of hacking several NFT Twitter accounts and Discord servers in recent months.
Redman was the same person convicted of a SIM swap scam in February 2020, according to ZachXBT. Redman is accused of stealing $27 million in Bitcoin Cash and $17 million in Bitcoin as part of the aforementioned scheme.
ZachXBT noted that Redman was also charged with SIM swapping Josh Jones for nearly 60,000 BCH and 1,547 BTC. The suspect was taken into custody, but he was still a minor.
Hundreds of small-amount transactions initiated on controlled exchanges (CEX) were used to launder 60,000 BCH, ZachXBT added.
The majority of the funds were ultimately placed on two significant exchanges. On the other hand, it is claimed that some of the stolen BTC were transferred to CEXs as well as Chip Mixer and Crypto Mixer.
Redman was eventually captured by Hamilton police, who also seized $5.4 million in cryptocurrency. The whereabouts of the remaining money remains a mystery.
ZachXBT claims that Redman reappeared under the alias Antihero and promoted a Twitter panel on the SWAPD website. According to the chain analyst’s study, another person who appears to be a resident of Ontario, Canada is also using the Antihero username.
On June 26, Antihero received a payment of 230 ETH plus 20 ETH in exchange for lifetime access to the Twitter panel. Nous DAO was compromised a few hours after the payment was made.
The panel was allegedly purchased from Antihero by scammers named HZ/Chase and Popbob, suggesting that Redman was involved. Redman allowed HZ/Chase and Popbob access to his Twitter panel, allowing them to hack 12+ NFT Twitter accounts.

Redman has now deactivated his SWAPD account, according to an update from ZachXBT, and gone private with the username on a fresh Instagram account.
HZ is linked to the Discord attacks on Bored Ape Yacht Club, Nansen, Lacoste, etc, and nouns DAO and NFT whale @franklinisbored’s Twitter hacks.
Currently, ZachXBT is receiving threatening Twitter DMs calling him racial slurs for exposing the scammers in the sector. The analyst at the chain has always been at the forefront of exposing bad actors, and just last month ZachXBT exposed French phishing scammers who have stolen NFTs worth millions.
