After a six-month hiatus, Dan Bilzerian has made his return to Instagram. But this time, it's not to flaunt private jets or be surrounded by scantily clad models. Instead, he is promoting paintball in partnership with Infamous Paintball.

Once known as "Blitz" on social media, Bilzerian gained fame by showcasing a lavish lifestyle filled with high-stakes poker, luxury yachts, limousines, and automatic weapons. However, his latest Instagram posts suggest a dramatic shift in content.

He is also infamously known for his amped up anti-Jewish rhetoric on his X account.

Partnering with Infamous Paintball

Bilzerian’s recent posts reveal a sharp departure from his former brand of excess. Gone are the models and heavy artillery; in their place, he wields paintball markers while dressed in tactical gear.

Once crowned the "King of Instagram," Bilzerian has had to tone down his social media presence due to mounting legal troubles. Recently, a British Columbia court found him in contempt for refusing to relinquish control of a social media account—one he is now actively posting on again.

The latest content presents a more restrained image of Bilzerian, as he participates in paintball skirmishes instead of high-stakes poker games. For someone who built his identity on opulence, this new focus appears surprisingly disciplined.

Ignite Lawsuit: Bilzerian vs. His Former Company

Bilzerian’s legal troubles did not end with the social media dispute.

 Shareholders of Ignite, the cannabis company he once controlled, successfully petitioned a British Columbia judge to order him to surrender its Instagram login. Their lawsuit claimed that Bilzerian's antisemitic social media posts were tarnishing Ignite’s brand.

Despite losing control of the company, Bilzerian fought back, filing in the BC Supreme Court to reclaim ownership. However, the court ruled against him. Ignite, already under scrutiny for alleged securities fraud, removed him from leadership.

On October 30, 2024, a BC Supreme Court judge ordered Bilzerian to turn over the Instagram account. He refused. By February 2025, Justice Michael Tammen found Bilzerian in contempt of court and fined him $10,000.

The court order prohibited Ignite from using the social media account to feature Bilzerian’s name, image, or likeness. Bilzerian justified his defiance by claiming he feared Ignite would misuse his likeness. However, the judge ruled this was not a valid excuse. Another of Bilzerian’s arguments—that he had been unfairly removed from ownership—also failed to sway the court.
