PANews reported on February 23 that according to X user @afhasbara, Kanye sold the publishing rights of his X account to @barkmeta for $20 million before the cryptocurrency was released, and his agent John Monopoly received a 15% fee. @barkmeta also owns the publishing rights of @AB84 and is the man behind the fake Yeezy tokens released on the AB page yesterday, which were removed within a few hours. Kanye's cryptocurrency tweets are obviously not sent by him.
