ZachXBT Ties White Rock to $30M ZKasino Scam—Warns of High Rug-Pull Risk

- Crypto investigator ZachXBT links White Rock Finance to ZKasino scam. - ZachXBT urges exchanges to delist $WHITE due to high risks. On June 16, 2025, Cryptopolitan reported that ZachXBT linked White Rock Finance to the $30 million ZKasino scam, based on new evidence he uncovered suggesting a high rug-pull risk. ZachXBT's on-chain analysis, which traced laundering paths, marketing wallet activity, and personal identifiers, connected White Rock to former ZKasino operatives, including Ildar Ilham (alias “Prometheus”). The investigation found that perpetrators laundered funds stolen in the ZKasino scam through blockchains like zkSync, Starknet, Ethereum, and Solana, using Monero and instant exchanges. Subsequently, these funds reappeared in White Rock wallets. A critical piece of evidence involved a leaked personal email: "goedel014@gmail.com," which links to the deployer address of White Rock’s smart contracts. Furthermore, "IldarTheGrandMaster," an alias associated with ZKasino’s Ildar Ilham, allegedly used this same email on Chess.com. ZachXBT warned of a high rug-pull risk for $WHITE due to the team's track record, especially since reports connect this team to other dubious projects such as Syncus and ZigZag. Consequently, he has urged exchanges, including MEXC and Gate.io, to delist the token. ZKasino team members, including Elham Nourzai (whom Dutch authorities arrested and later released), Ildar Ilham, and Lior Ben Zakan, await trial for the ZKasino incident. However, authorities have filed no formal charges against the White Rock team.
