ZachXBT: BlockDAG and ZKP presale funds are suspected of being mixed and transferred for illegal marketing payments

By: rootdata|2026/05/20 20:44:33

On-chain detective ZachXBT posted on his personal channel, stating that on-chain tracking analysis shows that in two investment plans related to Gurhan Kiziloz, there are signs of at least approximately $25 million in presale funds being used interchangeably, which were transferred to pay for promotions to KOLs and streamers, involving his online gambling platform.

ZachXBT indicated that the fundraising materials for the related presale projects BlockDAG Network and ZKP did not disclose that the funds would be used to support other businesses, while on-chain data shows that the funds were pooled across multiple addresses and then transferred to exchanges through cross-chain bridges, flowing to promotional payment addresses.

ZachXBT also named several related addresses, including the Spartans KOL payment address and the BlockDAG / ZKP presale wallet, and advised investors to stay away from the BlockDAG, ZKP, and Spartans projects. Retail investors are still continuously complaining about the related fund usage issues on social media.
