A cryptocurrency analyst has recently come under fire for allegedly manipulating trade screenshots using photoshop tools like the Adobe Photoshop software, thus misleading his 63,000 followers. 

On March 14, a <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/crypto/twitter-adds-bitcoin-emoji-community-goes-bonkers/">Twitter</a> user going by the name ‘King’<a href="https://twitter.com/Trapouts/status/1238598898559488000"> shared screenshots</a> showing Jacob Canfield; a self-proclaimed “#1 cryptocurrency analyst” on twitter, had on many occasions photo-shopped screenshots that reveal the performance of his trades.

Following the pressure on social media, Jacob Canfield came out clean that indeed he manipulated some of the images he shared to make his trades look better. Through a post on March 13 that has been deleted, he promised his thousands of followers that manipulation will never happen again.

Nevertheless, King shared more images on March 14 depicting that Canfield had manipulated screenshots to show that he earned 15 BTC instead of 7; on the same day he promised not to manipulate images again.

In addition, the post also revealed a conversation between King and Canfield in which the analyst freely acknowledges that he changed the figure from 7 BTC to 15.5 BTC. King claims to have further evidence of about 10 manipulated screenshots.
<h2>Canfield accuses the king of blackmail</h2>
Over the past few hours, the drama on social media has risen with King demanding Canfield to dissolve his premium signals group; and in return, he will not report him to the Securities and exchanges commission. Furthermore, on March 15 King posted more screenshots of<a href="https://twitter.com/Trapouts/status/1238864412817133570"> more conversation</a> between him and Canfield. Canfield accuses King of attempted extortion 

During the social media drama, the cryptocurrency analyst says he can consider other options apart from dissolving his group. King further threatens to share the screenshots of their dialogue to Discord users of King’s trading channel; if Canfield doesn't come up with another solution. Canfield, however, resolved to <a href="https://twitter.com/JacobCanfield/status/1238801550304215040">live-stream</a> his<a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/crypto/bitcoin-rally-just-got-hot-10-gains-from-here/"> future</a> trades to enhance transparency.
