What Happened to Ansem Crypto? Has Blknoiz06 Really Been Arrested?

Emirates InsightBy No Comments


Leading influencer Ansem crypto is in the news due to unconfirmed reports that he has been arrested. The claims have been exacerbated by the X AI chatbot, Grok, who seems to be spreading the rumors when asked, “Who is Ansem?”.

Ansem, who goes by @blknoiz06 on X, hasn’t posted on the site since July 30, which has been the main reason for the jail rumors.

Who Is Ansem Crypto? From Amateur Boxing To Crypto Multi-Millionaire

Zion Thomas, also known as Ansem or @blknoiz06 on X, has become a well-recognized figure in the crypto world over the past few years. He gained popularity due to his early support of Solana and its broader meme coin ecosystem.

Once an amateur boxer, Ansem shifted his focus to cryptocurrency, where he quickly made a name for himself with sharp market insights and his finger on the pulse of meme coin narratives.

Ansem crypto gained notoriety with early investments in Solana and meme coins such as Dogwifhat (WIF), which led to him amassing an estimated net worth of over $20 million.

While Ansem has gone all in on crypto over the past few years, he still dips his toe into the boxing world via celebrity boxing matches. His most famous outing was against the now disgraced BitBoy at a Crypto Fight Night event in Dubai on December 6, 2024. The contest ended in a draw, with many believing BitBoy won, and to this day, Ansem still gets trolled for his performance.

Since his early days on ‘crypto twitter,’ Ansem has established himself as one of the leading figures on social media in the Web3 space. His endorsements of tokens often lead to massive surges in price as his 750,000+ strong follower base buys whatever the coin the influencer is talking about before doing any research.

Ansem’s Popularity Has Put Him In The Crosshairs Of ZachXBT As Recently As Last Year

Zion has been criticized in the past for pumping and dumping illiquid, low-market-cap tokens, even drawing the ire of notorious on-chain sleuth ZachXBT. In October 2024, Zach called Ansem crypto out in a post aimed at another notable influencer, Murad.

“If you resort to promoting new low cap memecoins every few days to followers as a large account it’s because you have no edge and have to use your followers instead,” ZachXBT posted at Murad, before stating that the message also applied to Ansem.

Ansem clapped back by claiming that calling out Dogwifhat (WIF) to his followers at a $100,000 market cap, (which later ran to a peak value of $4.8 billion in March), was much better than promoting a utility-based token such as Chainlink (LINK), which at the time was down 90% against Bitcoin (BTC) on a year-to-date basis.

ZachXBT doubled down, accusing Ansem of shilling hundreds of low-cap meme coins, including BODEN, HOBBES, ZEUS, and WYNN, as well as several celebrity memecoins, including those from pop stars Jason Derulo and Davido.

The last retort from Ansem was this: “The ‘low cap garbage’ you talk about has dominated 90% of retail mindshare in crypto over the past year, whether you like it or not, that’s what people want to trade.”

As of today, WIF has a market cap of over $900 million, an increase of around 9000x since Ansem first called it at $100,000, and while not offsetting the many tokens he has called that have since died, it does show the influencer’s ability to spot blue-chip meme coins.

So, Is Ansem Crypto Really In Jail, Or Is It Fake News?

The boring answer to whether Ansem crypto is actually in jail is that it seems to be fake news. The rumor started when a few X users asked where Ansem was, as he hadn’t posted on social media for around a week.

While multiple X users were posting seemingly joke claims that Ansem had been arrested for several humorous reasons, a user named @realtommybibi gained the most traction with a post that has nearly 300,000 views to date.

They said, “On July 29, 2025, at approximately 10:30 PM EDT, Ansem J. Carter, known online as @blknoiz06
, a 27-year-old resident of Miami, Florida, was arrested by the Miami-Dade Police Department on charges of male prostitution. The arrest followed an undercover operation in the downtown district, where Carter allegedly solicited an undercover officer for sexual services in exchange for money. He was booked into the Miami-Dade County Jail and is scheduled for a court appearance on August 5, 2025. The investigation remains active, with no further details released at this time.”

This is the same post that Grok seemingly pulled from when asked who Ansem is, as the AI chatbot began spreading the rumors further afield. However, another X user by the name of @bright_125 posted a picture of themselves with Ansem, saying, “Ansem isn’t in jail. Stop spreading fake news. He was chilling with me at a club in Kampala last night.”

To fully put the rumors to bed, Ansem has since spoken in his Timedotfun group chat, a Web3 social platform, posting, “What’s good bros, yea my bad on last week or so had some stuff come up w/ travel, not in jail lol I’m with fam outta town rn”

So as of right now, it seems that Ansem crypto is safe and well on vacation and not in jail on charges of soliciting male prostitution, causing a car crash, or any of the other wild rumors that have been reported over the past 48 hours.

Before long, the infamous crypto influencer will likely be back on social media, posting about the latest meme coin narrative as he looks to call the next Dogwifhat (WIF) with yet another 1000X+ runner.
