1/ So I went and reviewed some of the internal documents for Solchicks
Here are some of the funniest things I found
(Yes the project is that bad)
2/ Here they admit to “buying-fake-twitter-followers” and you also can see other promos they’ve paid for
3/ Taking money from a VC they “blacklisted”
4/ Using bots to flood Discord servers and DM/spam people
5/ More fake marketing on Reddit
6/ Buying undisclosed shills from random botted accounts.
Luciano deleted his but I went to the archive website to grab it kek (imagine selling yourself for 1.5 bnb)
Doesn’t seem they ended up using all of them
7/ AHHHHHH IM BOTTINGGGGG
8/ The Ice Cube “partnership” that was really just a paid Cameo
9/ Now Telegram Botting
10/ If you haven’t figured out already from all the fake engagement yes this project is a candidate for the most overvalued garbage we’ve seen this bull run
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.
1/ An investigation into the French dev Jolan Lacroix who recently stole $900K from the TICKER presale on Base before spending the funds on meme coins and Milady NFTs.
2/ TICKER launched a presale on March 16 raising a total of 877 ETH ($3.19M) via Party App on Base.
The token distribution was supposed to be: 24% LP, 71% presale/airdrops, 1% early contributors, 4% reserved for errors.
The team was fully anon.
3/ Immediately after TGE was where things went bad.
15% of the TICKER supply was sent to a dev (Jolan) assisting with the project to distribute the airdrop.
Instead of doing this Jolan sold 13% of the supply for $900K rugging everyone supporting the project.
1/ An investigation into the phishing scammer Ultra (Nicolas) who has stolen millions through Discord compromises such as MetaKey and X/Twitter spam just to spend it all gambling on Stake, rare usernames, and Roblox items.
2/ In Feb 2023 the Dead Army Skeleton Discord was compromised
after an admin was phished.
The attacker spammed phishing links in the announcements channel with funds ending up at offtherip.eth and Monkey Drainer.
1/ An investigation into how the influencer Crypto Rover ghosted a project he was paid to promote, mislead followers about his trading positions, and also his shills for pump and dump meme coins.
2/ In May 2023 Rover was connected with a project was connected to help promote it.
During negotiations Rover said he can “pump projects from 1/2m to 10m easy”
They agreed on $10K + 1% of the supply for payment
