Today, I have filed a defamation lawsuit against him in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas.
Jeffrey Huang mentioned that Zachary has defamed him and his article is false. The attorneys of the plaintiff raised a complaint of allegations and the malicious promotion of their plaintiff. Jeffery deteriorated and his reputation is been damaged, he added.
What Did ZachXBT Reply?
ZachXBT wrote on his Twitter that this lawsuit seems baseless and adds ‘I intend to fight back & defend free speech.’

He has disclosed a copy of his article for the public’s reading and consideration. The address on which he created the donation with legal costs is around $1M USD. ZachXBT adds his donation wallet address which is ETH: 0x6eA158145907a1fAc74016087611913A96d96624 where ‘all the EVM chains are accepted and stablecoins are preferred’.
However, ZachXBT assures that the leftover funds from the donation will be transferred to the investors on a pro-rata basis. Additionally, he feels bad that this was expected as people would dislike certain things. Alongside, he adds that his historical record would speak rather than anything else.
