Taylor Mathis, a well-known sports betting influencer and DraftKings ambassador, is facing allegations of manipulating the crypto market.
Allegations Against Taylor Mathis
The sports betting influencer is accused of inflating her own token before executing a rug pull. The accusations revolve around the $TAYLOR token, a digital asset linked to Mathis, which saw a significant price surge followed by a sharp decline. Mathis reportedly agreed to promote $TAYLOR for 2% of the total supply, which amounted to 20 million tokens.
βJust 3 days after saying she would never rug pull her own coin, she does exactly that for a measly $27k.β
Mathis allegedly promoted the token to her followers, inflating its value before selling her shares just before the crash. Since its peak, the tokenβs price has plummeted by over 96%.
Mathis’s Response
Mathis claimed ignorance of the projectβs true intentions, stating, βI didnβt want to be involved with this,β and adding, βI was trying to do the right thing.β
After the accusations surfaced, Mathis secured her social media accounts and deleted references to her partnership with DraftKings. Initially, she claimed a rug pull couldnβt happen without her involvement, as she held the largest share of the coin; however, that post has since been removed.
Mathis also asserted that all profits would be donated to a toy charity, according to a now-deleted post on X.
