Nearly Half of Justin Sun's Recent Followers May Be 'Bots,' Research Finds

A recent analysis conducted by Geoff Golberg, an online researcher, has revealed that a large percentage Tron (TRX) founder Justin Sun’s Twitter followers might be fake and/or bot accounts. According to Golberg’s investigation, most of Sun’s (mostly) new followers on Twitter are accounts that appear to be only a few days old. There are around 50,000 new Twitter accounts that recently started following Sun, a former Ripple Labs employee. Significantly, Golberg’s research analysis found that approximately 20,000 of Sun’s new followers had accounts which were created in the past 24 hours. These “zero day’ accounts mostly had no followers (or very few) and had many of them had never even tweeted any messages.
