Zola “hidden” the sketchy coins under new guidelines after Coinbase-backed crypto companies were ridiculed as they were apparently planning to promote fake Tyson Fury accounts and work with serial rug artists.
Zora announced in X that coins that break community guidelines are hidden, but can be purchased, sold or transferred.
If you own any of these coins, you will see them in your wallet with a scam warning that they are hidden “for impersonation, offensive content, or settings.”
Zora is in damage control after Crypto Sleuth Zachxbt reveals a screenshot showing plans for Zora and Coinbase, working with Sahil Arora to reveal a screenshot showing its platform mounted on the platform.

Alora is known for her crypto space for her rugpurs associated with a variety of celebrities, including singer Jason Derulo, media personality Caitlyn Jenner and rapper Iggy Azalea. He reportedly made $30 million last year, boasting about his seemingly secure position under Donald Trump’s loose code regulations.
Coinbase’s Jesse Pollak is willing to look at past scams
Screenshots of the suspects in the exchange between Jesse Pollak and Arora Show Pollak, head of Coinbase’s “base apps,” recommended that Arora “drop the bad guy’s position” and later said he was excited to see Sahil’s “positive impact.”
In one obvious email with Zora co-founder Jacob Horne and partnership head Zak Krevitt, Arora claimed it was equipped with boxer Tyson Fury. Arora also reportedly told Pollak about the X Direct message that he was engaged, and Pollak allegedly discussed Zora’s plans to acquire users with Arora via email.
Horn has since appeared to share screenshots of his fake Zora Tyson Fury account, promoting the account and its tokenized posts as “just seen.”
Naturally, the account was fraudulent and when Zora’s team deleted the page accordingly, users began complaining that they were unable to trade tokens.
Pollack’s defense was ridiculed
Zachxbt shared what Coinbase’s Pollak claimed was a deal between Pollak, Horne and Arora before defending his actions, claiming he was “optimistic” and “to board the world.”
Pollack said, “I said (Arora) he had a bad rap, that the bad actor was not tolerated by the base and he would need to show a positive impact. I also wanted to hear him.”
He then insisted that there was no “live meeting” and that he “doesn’t work together.”
This response was called X’s users “objectively bad practice” and ignorant about Alora’s past involvement in Ragpur.
Zachxbt also responded with a copy and paste of Pollak’s reaction, which replaced Sahil’s name with North Korean Kim Jong Un and its hacking group Lazarus Group, highlighting the absurdity of Pollak’s argument.
Zora is a crypto-based social media platform that tokenizes all posts users create in the kind of MemeCoin (sorry, creator Coin) market. Crypto Exchange Coinbase took part in Zora’s $50 million funding round in 2022 through Coinbase Ventures.
In fact, both Coinbase’s Pollak and CEO Brian Armstrong have frequently promoted Zola and are gaining a vested interest in the platform’s success.
