Tate Sued Over Alleged Crypto Scheme as Plaintiff Seeks to Unmask X Account Participant

Andrew Tate, a prominent social media personality and former kickboxer, has been sued over alleged involvement in a cryptocurrency scheme. The lawsuit, filed by Anthony Mitchell in March 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, claims that Tate and others ran an enterprise that used an AI hackathon and an unauthorized cryptocurrency token to extract money.

The plaintiff's latest filing on July 21, 2026, seeks to identify a person associated with an X account who allegedly participated in the scheme. This move highlights the complexities of pursuing legal action in the often-anonymous world of cryptocurrency, where identifying individuals behind online pseudonyms is crucial for many digital asset-related lawsuits.

The case has seen various allegations since its filing, including claims that Tate promoted memecoins and then sold off his holdings as prices peaked, leading to losses for his followers. A chain analysis in December 2025 also suggested that Tate's associated wallets deposited significant sums into privacy protocols, raising suspicions of money laundering.
