A full-blown operation to expose a network of fake accounts shilling shady crypto services has unfolded on the BitcoinTalk forum. According to user Bitcoin_Arena, one of these profiles, going by the name CryptoAIDev, has been actively pushing scammy "Binance pump signals" through a website and a so-called "AI seed finder".

As it turned out during the discussion, there's a whole network of clones hiding behind this account. According to user ABCbits, it's a textbook case of ban evasion. The forum admins had already banned the accounts aiseedphrasefinder and AI_BitcoinSeedRecovery for promoting the same site and its linked Telegram channel. But the scammer just spun up new profiles — sedinvore and CryptoAIDev — and kept right on going. User dkbit98 pointed out that he'd already flagged this scammer multiple times in his thread, but the moderators only removed the posts from the fake "newbies" and left the main accounts untouched.

The community was understandably fuming over the admin's inaction. According to user hugeblack, dealing with these profiles comes with a huge risk of losing your money, and their "AI finder" is an outright scam, not just some sketchy service. Since the moderators wouldn't ban the accounts for evading the ban, forum members brought out the heavy artillery. According to user Bitcoin_Arena, official Trust Flags were placed on both active scammers — on CryptoAIDev and on sedinvore — and respected forum members were quick to back them up.

Apparently, the scammers have no plans to stop. According to user ABCbits, two new profiles recently joined the scam network — Thomas Bennett and bitrecovery. They're pushing some supposedly "new tool", but all the links still lead to the same old domain. This story is a perfect example of how scam networks dress themselves up as cutting-edge AI projects to squeeze money out of gullible users.
