3/ Case 1: $POLK In my other threads we already know Moonrock & friends sell instantly.
Let’s see who actually pushes this out on Twitter.
4/ Case 2: $PMON This was also pushed out by Moonrock and shilled hard to trick newbies.
5/ Case 3: $ROOM
Another widely shilled IDO by CT influencers that dumped 96.7%.
6/ Case 4: $MATTER
This project suddenly changed it’s vesting schedule because of private sale investors repeatedly dumping . Guess who was quick to claim their tokens after the change?
7/ No tweets from them about $MATTER or any other of these projects in months even though they were so “bullish” on them.
You’d think as private sale investors they’d aim to support the project longterm.
8/ Case 5: Might I add $ERN to the mix. Down 90% since ATH shortly after the IDO.
9/ Case 6: Last but not least $XED, another Moonrock project that dumped very early on.
10/ This is another classic example of marketers pretending to trade who will shill anything available to them.
We all remember the engagement on Twitter during the first couple months of 2021. Imagine being a newbie seeing the tweets.
None of these tweets gave any disclosure.
Follow for more threads in the future!
If you’re new and unfamiliar with Moonrock make sure to read this.
2/ The theft address I will start from is 0x6ee which was doing test transactions on July 10th from 0x09b multisig with SHIB and was funded with 6 X 0.1 ETH from Tornado.
0x6eedf92fb92dd68a270c3205e96dccc527728066
A technical breakdown of the attack by Mudit can be found below
3/ With the 6 X 0.1 ETH withdrawals from Tornado Cash on July 10th I was able to demix this and find 6 X 0.1 ETH matching deposits made the day before.
0xc6873ce725229099caf5ac6078f30f48ec6c7e2e
The demix is accurate as 0xc68 was also doing tests with 0x304 multisig on July 9th with SHIB.
For those who are confused and need additional context.
Earlier today Arkham announced a $150K bounty for the identity of the DJT creator
11:49 pm UTC I reply to Arkham saying I submitted for the bounty
11:57 pm UTC Martin Shkreli panic DM’s me
12:27 am UTC Martin Shkreli creates a spaces and announces he is the creator of DJT
One of the large DJT insiders verso.sol dumping $832K worth of DJT and then depositing USDC to CEX ~1 hr ago
Coincidentally also a large holder on Martin’s other project Shoggoth
1/ Here is an overview of one of the better executed scams I have seen in recent times so I figured I would share with the community as a cautionary tale.
A few weeks ago I received a DM from a follower who lost $245K after accidentally downloading malware onto their computer.
2/ It started as an account purporting to be Peter Lauten from a16z, messaging a team to inquire about a potential podcast partnership.
3/ The attacker noticed that the real Peter Lauten had changed his X (Twitter) username from ‘peter_lauten’
to ‘lauten’ at a point in time and then had claimed his old username.
3/ At first the attacker communicated with the Prisma deployer the attack was whitehat.
Later that day all of the funds were deposited to Tornado Cash contradicting that statement.
The exploiter began making outrageous demands and asked for a $3.8M (34%) whitehat bounty
This amount is significantly higher than the industry standard 10% essentially extorting the team as the treasury does not have sufficient assets to reimburse users.
