Ansem and Sahil Arora: we followed the 129.5 SOL receipt on chain

The receipt

On Friday, November 6, 2026, Sahil Arora (@villainmonkey), the promoter behind several 2024 celebrity coins, accused Ansem (@blknoiz06) of taking his money. As proof he posted a block-explorer screenshot: 129.5 SOL sent at 00:28:42 UTC on May 28, 2024, “moments before Iggy Azalea dropped $MOTHER, to the coldest breathing twin”. Ansem denied any dealings with him the same evening.

A screenshot can be edited. A transaction cannot. So we looked it up, then followed the money on both sides of it.

20.6 h before MOTHER's pool

The transfer is real. The timing is not what the post says: MOTHER's Raydium pool opened at 21:04:36 UTC that day, 20.6 hours later. That is the moment MOTHER became tradable, the moment a payment “before the launch” would be measured against.

Where the 129.5 SOL landed

The receiving address, 8A9jAg…wKMhXx, is not a personal wallet. It made 76 transactions in its life, all between January 24 and June 9, 2024, and it behaved the way exchange deposit addresses do: every SOL that came in was sent on, in full and usually within one to three hours, to one very large wallet. Solscan labels that wallet “Binance 2” and tags the deposit address itself as a Binance deposit address. The 129.5 SOL left for Binance 67 minutes after it arrived.

Public name

A deposit address belongs to one exchange customer. The chain shows the money arriving. It does not show the customer.

Sahil's own screenshot carried the Binance icon on the address, and his post asked Binance's founder to “doxx” it. On his own evidence, the “twin” is an exchange account, and only the exchange can say whose.

Who else paid that address

If the address belonged to someone Sahil was paying, you would expect his payments and little else. The address's full history shows something different. Seven senders, 2,569 SOL in total, and 2,428 SOL of it from wallets the chain or the press connects to Sahil's own 2024 launches. The deposits began in January 2024, four months before the celebrity coins.

The largest sender is the payer on the receipt itself, 7s3v1j…, with six deposits worth 960.06 SOL between May 27 and June 3. Next is AFbEzm…, with sixteen deposits from March 21 to May 30. AFbEzm… and 7s3v1j… both paid the same third wallet, E29zE9…, so the chain links them. Third is AVjzMB…, the wallet Decrypt identified as the collection wallet of Sahil's IGGY presale, which took in over $380,000. One small sender, 7Ci23i…, is a Poloniex hot wallet according to ZachXBT.

The payer wallet's week

Sahil's receipt names its own payer: 7s3v1j…ZN9rh. That address is not new to this story. On May 27, 2024, the on-chain sleuth Roxo called it Sahil's “main addy” and listed the coins connecting to it.

Exhibit Ex.com

The chain shows what that wallet did in its first two weeks. Three coin creators followed one recipe. Each created a coin on pump.fun with a 1.3 SOL first buy in the same transaction, which gave each exactly 44,565,495 tokens. Each sold on Raydium within the hour and sent the SOL to 7s3v1j…. The wallet also bought JENNER and RICH within minutes of their creation and sold everything before the hour was out.

Exhibit Fsolscan.io

The creator

Exhibit Gsolscan.io

These flows fit what Sahil has said about himself. In 2024 he told Decrypt he deployed JENNER, and Rich The Kid publicly said Sahil used his name for a coin. The JENNER creator wallet is still active. On October 30, 2026 it created a new coin, PARK JIN HYOK (CHINGLING), which Anceta recorded on its live feed.

The Iggy thread

MOTHER itself was not Sahil's launch. Iggy Azalea launched it after cutting him out, and told him publicly to “take your L” (Decrypt). Two other Iggy-named threads run into the same deposit address, though.

The first is a separate pump.fun coin named “Iggy Azalea” (mint 4dnhLn…fP). It was created at 22:13:48 UTC on May 28, 69 minutes after MOTHER's pool, and traded about 67,000 times in its first 95 minutes. Its creator later sent 27.3 SOL to 7s3v1j…. One of its first-minute traders sent 325 SOL to AFbEzm… at 22:49, and AFbEzm… paid 319.7 SOL into the deposit address at 02:39. Under Sahil's own reading, that would be a payment made after a launch, not before one.

Its own metadata adds a twist. A pump.fun coin carries a description written by its creator, stored on IPFS, and this one's taunts Sahil by name, in the voice of Iggy Azalea. A creator who mocks Sahil in the description and then pays 27.3 SOL to the wallet named as his is one more thing the chain records and cannot explain.

The second is the presale. The wallet Decrypt named as the IGGY presale wallet paid 663.22 SOL into the deposit address on June 8. Five days earlier it had created three pump.fun coins with custom addresses: Addison Rae (RAE), RONELDO (RONE) and LeBron James (LJAMES). The LeBron James coin's own description, written by its creator at launch, reads “American basketball power forward by sahil” (metadata on IPFS). That signature sits in a coin created by the wallet that later made the largest single deposit into the receipt's receiver.

Two readings, one missing record

Two readings fit everything above, and the chain cannot choose between them.

One fact weighs on the first reading. In the transactions we read, Ansem's only self-confirmed wallet, GV6UUm…dC52 (linked to his X account through his pump.fun profile), has no transfer to or from any address in this trail. That was not a full audit of its history, and a person can have more than one exchange account. Neither Sahil nor any outlet has produced exchange records. Until someone does, “Ansem was paid” stays Sahil's claim, and the chain supports neither side's story about who received the money.

Sahil has made the $100,000 claim before. In May 2024 he told Mariblock he had paid Ansem that sum, in connection with Davido's coin and a Space Ansem hosted. The 2026 version ties it to MOTHER. As crypto.news noted, a 129.5 SOL receipt that Sahil valued at about $22,000 does not add up to $100,000. The other transfers he describes, of 99.06, 504.5 and 377.43 SOL, have not been published with full addresses.

Sahil's second receipt

At 19:45 UTC on November 6, half an hour after the 129.5 SOL screenshot, Sahil posted a second and more detailed receipt. This one names two full addresses, 3bzbmH… as Ansem's “sub-wallet” and AVAZvH… as his “main 2024 wallet”, and gives three full transaction hashes. We read all of them, plus the earlier payment he mentions.

Every transaction in the post is real, and the amounts match. One detail differs from his wording. The June 25 money came from two payout wallets, not one: 336.16 SOL from HitBTC's withdrawal hot wallet and 168.35 SOL from 771zuj…, a second payout wallet with no public label. The 99.06 SOL of May 31 did come from HitBTC, as he says.

Exhibit Larkm.com

Exhibit Markm.com

Here is what this receipt establishes. Arkham, independently of Sahil, ties AVAZvH… to Ansem, and that wallet and its sub-wallet received exchange withdrawals in May and June 2024. Here is what it does not establish. A withdrawal shows the exchange paying out, not who funded the balance. On chain, Ansem moving his own exchange money and Ansem being paid through an exchange look exactly the same. The exchange is also a different one. The 129.5 SOL went into Binance, while these withdrawals came out of HitBTC and a second payout wallet, so no on-chain thread joins the two receipts.

We also looked for a direct transfer between Sahil's 2024 wallets and these two. We read the payer wallet's 610 transactions from May 20 to June 4, 2024, the deposit address's full history and the depositors' activity around their deposits. None of it contains a transfer to or from AVAZvH… or 3bzbmH…. The only place AVAZvH… appears is as a passive account in spam transactions sent by look-alike addresses, which move no SOL.

One more of Sahil's claims meets the chain. At 22:24 UTC on November 6 he wrote that “asians were given coldest breathing twin's token early on OTC”, the twin being his name for Ansem and the token $ANSEM (post). The chain shows that on August 1, 2026 at 00:09 UTC, Ansem's self-confirmed wallet sent 490,000,000 $ANSEM by plain transfer, not a sale, to a fresh wallet, 7oU9nR… (transaction). That wallet still holds 491 million $ANSEM. An over-the-counter delivery and a move to another wallet of his own would look the same on chain. The transfer is a fact. What it was is not on the record.

Sahil's October, on Anceta's feed

Sahil's own timeline from late October 2026 can be laid against Anceta's live feed, which records the second each coin is created. Three of his posts name coins that Anceta saw launch, and one of those coins came from the wallet that created JENNER in 2024.

Posting a contract minutes after its creation, or announcing a celebrity coin hours before it exists, is something anyone can do with a launch schedule in hand. Sahil has said publicly that he runs such launches, and the CHINGLING case adds a wallet link. The coin he posted two minutes after creation came from the same wallet that created JENNER in May 2024. In its life that wallet has funded 462 other accounts.

November 6, hour by hour

The 2026 round began with a post that named no one. Ansem's name was attached to it by Sahil, 87 minutes later.

Exhibit Ix.com

As of November 7, Bubblemaps had published no follow-up and named nobody. Its October series named smaller accounts, using the tactics its teaser listed: side wallets, callout rewards, bundled launches. That series was about social-trading wallets in 2026, not celebrity coins in 2024 (crypto.news). Nothing published so far shows any named KOL as its target.

What ZachXBT said

The thread ZachXBT answered on November 7 began the evening before. At 19:29 UTC on November 6, 13 minutes after Sahil's receipt post, the account @FvctCrvpto wrote that Ansem was “done” because “his whole private wallet history is now out in the open”, and asked whether undisclosed paid promotions are illegal in the U.S. Nothing published so far supports the first part. No private wallet of Ansem's has been shown. What is out is Sahil's screenshot of an exchange deposit address, and that address does not show who owns it.

At 09:33 UTC on November 7 another account asked ZachXBT why he was “so quiet about these things lately”. He answered at 10:02: people “get rinsed by the same KOL grifters who have done it for years and never learn”, and he had tried “calling out Ansem numerous times in the past for promoting micro cap and celeb tokens”. He added that he was busy with other cases, the French bank heist, North Korean hackers and The Com, “where my work actually brings measurable impact” (ZachXBT on X). He attached two screenshots of his 2024 exchanges with Ansem. We read both in full.

Exhibit Jx.com

Exhibit Kx.com

Three things stand out when the exchanges are read next to the chain. First, on May 30, 2024, two days after the 129.5 SOL transfer and MOTHER's launch, Ansem said publicly that he had asked to co-host Iggy Azalea's Space. That fits his account, a Space he joined himself. It also fits Sahil's, a Space Sahil says he paid for. The post settles neither. Second, Ansem said of JENNER that he “didnt promote it” and later called it a scam. The chain ties JENNER's creator to the payer on Sahil's receipt, that is, to Sahil's own operation, and shows no transfer from that trail to Ansem's confirmed wallet. It cannot rule out a payment made some other way. Third, ZachXBT's list names the Davido and Jason Derulo coins, two coins Sahil has been publicly tied to.

That is a case about promotion and influence, argued as opinion. Nothing ZachXBT has published alleges that Ansem was paid by Sahil or any deployer, or carries wallet evidence about Ansem. His earlier on-chain work on Sahil points the other way on size. In August 2024 he put Sahil's celebrity-coin take at $2–3M, against Bubblemaps' first estimate of $26–30M, and showed that an address counted as Sahil's was a Poloniex hot wallet (ZachXBT on X). Exchange wallets show up in every trail, and they are easy to misread as someone's own.

What is public, and what is not

Everything in this dispute can be sorted into three piles. Here is every piece of evidence that exists in public as of November 7, 2026, and what each one can and cannot prove.

The record that would settle the central question, whose account received the money, sits with an exchange. Until it is produced, the honest summary is the one in the ledger below.

The feud became 698 coins

Disputes on X turn into launch names within minutes. From November 5 to 15:00 UTC on November 7, Anceta's feed recorded 698698 new coins with “ansem”, “sahil” or “blknoiz” in their name or symbol: 573 Ansem-named and 128 Sahil-named, from 402 creator wallets. 661 launched on pump.fun. The first Sahil-named coin, “Sahil Files”, launched at 18:01 UTC on November 6, two and a half hours after Sahil's first post naming Ansem. One wallet launched 38 Ansem-named coins, and another 35.

Ansem's name had been climbing on the feed before any of this. Ansem-named launches went from about 30 a day in late October to 377 on November 4, with names like “ansem candle” and “deployer funded by ansem”. What set that wave off is not established here. So far, 73 of the 698 feud coins have rugged and 11 are survivors; most were still inside their watch period at the time of reading.

Same shape, 2026

The 2024 celebrity wave has a 2026 sequel, with different packaging: social launchpads, QR codes, bio tags and “hacked account” stories now sit between the person and the deployer.

Floyd Mayweather, October 13. His accounts promoted a coin launched through the Fomo app. It peaked near $1M, fell 96% in about three hours, and the posts were deleted. Sahil told Decrypt the launch was his and claimed seven figures; Bubblemaps said the largest connected cluster made about $105,000. No source names the mint. The closest match by name and timing is FLOYD (Gjd3Ju…pump), unconfirmed.

Kylie Jenner, August 24. Her account posted, then deleted, a pump.fun coin (6b7KQs…pump) that peaked near $1.2M. The community flagged a likely hack, and she made no statement (Crypto Briefing).

Kimchi, October 22. A QR-code post from the trader's account sent a new coin to roughly $14–15M before a fall of over 95%. Lookonchain said his account received 500M tokens before the post (crypto.news). That coin's mint was not recovered.

Playboi Carti, October 25. A bio change on his dormant account pointed to a coin (H5UCZU…pump) that ran to about $1.2M and then shrank. No wallets were identified, and he made no statement (Bitcoin.com News).

No analyst has linked these four coins to a common deployer or funder.
