"@BitmexRekt" probably looks like "@BitmexAsdf" to someone who can't parse "Rekt".
Seems problematic for two reasons:
1. If a Twitter rep doesn't get the alias, they may think it's an attempt at impersonation.
2. Even if a Twitter rep does get the alias, they may have some reasonable concern that third parties might misinterpret your alias as representing Bitmex.
I mean, I can see someone who doesn't know what Bitmex is, nor the term "rekt", thinking that "BitmexRekt" is just like a fuller name for Bitmex, or something like that.

Hopefully they won't think @BXRekt is too close to Bitmex.
