this is really surprising. what did LTC do by making fake posts like that? just to get a pump? and make a bad case for the LTC market?
So far, has there been no further confirmation from LTC's social media accounts? usually after a case like this, there will be a confirmation that an account has been hacked. Cheesy

No, it was a planned action and to achieve this effect, the scammers created a fake WALMART website, which was registered on 2021-08-17. This is exactly the investigation that Skilhgt conducted, publishing it in Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/png3bf/the_litecoin_and_walmart_partnership_is_fake/ It was on this domain that fake news was published, which was not thoroughly checked by @litecoin employees, who considered this news reliable.
