1/ One of the lesser known figures in the space is Darkpool Liquidity a market maker (MM)
After reviewing the pitch deck there were a number of services that are straight market manipulation and not standard at ALL by MMs in the space
They play a role in a lot of the cash grabs
2/ To summarize the pic above:
-offers washtrading to artifically boost volume
-frontrunning and selling assets w/o affecting the market price
-spoofing
Well the next question is who even uses this MM?
3/ Well mostly Polkastarter projects use this MM as well as a number of other launchpads on here
One thing a lot of these projects have in common is large unlocks at TGE, vesting for 6 months or less, & a huge % of token supply to the seed/private round & advisors (20-30%+)
4/ After speaking with a few people well versed in the MM space they said it was very surprising this verbiage would be used so openly in a pitch deck
The rest seems to be almost copied from some where since it’s very generic
5/If you have done 50+ projects you more than likely should have $5m+ in AUM
Unless you’re not the main MM or just are a bad negotiator
6/ It is pretty clear what is being done here… please stay folks and do proper DD before putting your $$$ into projects
1/ It appears @moneywithcarter has been let go from Woo after allegedly using internal information to produce content for his paid group called “The Lynnhaven Group”
Here are pics telling his group to buy right before the Series A announcement.
2/ Here’s him dumping + ironic tweet
3/ Since then everyone has been kicked from the Telegram group and it was changed to closed
