Blockchain analyst ZachXBT has accused a blogger, operating under the name Thomas A. Whitaker, of exploiting the Blue Origin rocket explosion to incite panic and drive traffic. According to ZachXBT, the blogger exaggerated claims about the incident, including stating that "the only launch tower was destroyed," to create viral panic. ZachXBT alleges that this account is a new alias for a previously known "trolling/traffic-grabbing" account, which has a history of manipulating public opinion. The analyst also claims the account falsely presents itself as American while being based in Canada, supporting these allegations with screenshots of past posts and location data.
