BlockBeats news, on December 13, artist Phillip Banks, who created the Chill Guy character, posted on Instagram stating that his X account was hacked, and he is currently still unable to access the account normally. Some radical tweets on X were not posted by him.

According to GMGN market data, after the previous tweets related to 'crypto hate speech' were published, CHILLGUY briefly plummeted by 15%, but quickly rebounded, and it has now basically erased the previous drop, with the current price reported at $0.307.

BlockBeats note: The community currently speculates that this incident is a premeditated 'wash trading' operation.
