Taylor Mathis vs. Nadu Take Internet By Storm

There is a major war erupting on Twitter involving "Walking Bets" Girl Taylor Mathis and podcaster Jeff Nadu.  Mathis offers picks while walking in various areas and showing cleavage.  Nadu dedicates his show to everything from the Mafia, drug dealers, cartels, serial killers.  But if you heard Nadu this week, you'd think Mathis were worse than all of them.

Mathis had promoted a cryptocurrency $TAYLOR a few months back.  Mathis said she agreed to promote it in exchange for 20 million tokens, two percent of its total supply. She started promoting it on her X account (which has more than 200,000 followers) last week, leading to it reaching a $6 million market cap Saturday (which would have her stake worth an estimated $120,000).

Mathis sold her stake for 95 SOL (another cryptocurrency, with 95 tokens currently worth just over $16,000). She then sent messages saying she didn’t want to be involved in $TAYLOR any more.

Mathis, a one-time influencer for DraftKings, would come back later to claim she was hacked, and more...

She revealed: "I only reluctantly even 'played along' because they hacked my iCloud and threatened me and my family posting our home addresses sending videos with guns etc if I didn’t do things."

Taylor appeared to be in total despair by late that evening.

"I honestly have never been in such a dark place in my life, I honestly want to kill myself.  I have made no oney (sic) off of this and all the false information out there is disgusting.  I don't know how people do this to people."

A popular Twitter personality and sports bettor, Elf, hosted a Twitter Spaces Saturday evening to talk about the battle brewing between Mathis and Nadu. That Spaces program should be up on his Twitter feed soon.  Elf's show delves into various scams involving sports gambling, including handicappers (scamdicappers). 

Elf had scheduled Mathis to appear on his show for 10 pm ET but pushed back to 10:30 pm ET.  Nadu was also appearing on the show, despite initially saying he would not be doing it on a Saturday night.  Some 250 people were listening.

Nadu hasn't exactly hid the fact that he's not buying Taylor's extortion scheme story.

"We have to realize what went on here," Nadu says.  "This is a person who accepted a coin.  She then made money off of it, promoted it, pumped it, dumped it.  Now we're running it back and saying we were extorted?"

Nadu advised Taylor to "stay the hell off the internet".
