On further glance, it looks like the regular traders haven’t lost a significant sum of money yet. Apparently, the top traders on the scam coin only made a profit of $8k, which likely means that the attackers themselves lost money and resources using this method. Soon after the scam went live, the attackers removed the token’s liquidity and rugged it back to zero.
At press time, the coin’s market cap stands at merely $3,800 with only $28 left in the liquidity pool.
On a lighter note following the incident, ZachXBT called the attacker a “strong contender for the most incompetent hacker of the year” and mentioned that the attacker probably spent 5-6 figures to make this method work.
They probably spent 5-6 figures on the method so lost money lmao
Strong contender for most incompetent hacker of the year
