Thread by @rugpullfinder

In honor of @cryptoshields: It's been nearly a month since we called out #RugPullMafia, although we have reported individual projects we caught as it happened. These scammers have now stolen over 1400ETH from our pockets since December 🧵

2/The full extent of this network is quite sickening as you can see by this @blocksearch graph - Thus far, there have been over 75 confirmed rug pulls by this group

3/This group funds all of this through 5 primary wallets, a combination of @kucoincom @OKEx_Wallet and @binance - They then create shell wallet after shell wallet, before ultimately funneling all money back to @binance

4/Most people just assume this is some person in their basement... One of the wildest parts of this story is that all of these wallets are originating out of Russia and Belarus, by a team of at least 5 people.

5/In a recent @guardian article regarding Binance, @cz_binance , founder, says exchanges will comply with curbs on individuals.... seems to be the perfect group to start curbing...

6/This group has organized a massive network of social accounts by exploiting @verified system through purchasing these accounts, and recycling names as to not lose their blue check. Maybe @elonmusk will plan on doing something about this 🤔

8/Here are the obligatory new rug posts since our last update...

9/Continued

10/Continued

11/@Twitter @TwitterSafety and #NFTCommunity, it is about time we all collectively step up and put a stop to this insanity - we ask that everyone go report the accounts within @NFT_Awareness thread -

12/As mentioned, while the names of these people have changed, they are tracked by their Twitter ID. Because of this, @rugpullfinder has been permanently blocked from seeing any of their new rugs or any of their accounts, making it difficult to keep a pulse on them.

13/Just this morning, a member of the Anti-Scammer Squad had their account shut down by these scammers (@cryptoShields) as they used their @Verified pages to giveaway money for reporting (which no winners were ever chosen..surprise surprise)

14/@cryptoShields even submitted reports to @TwitterSafety regarding this specific promotional campaign. Their response - "These accounts are not in violation of our rules and Terms of Service".

15/As this group continues to make more money, they will only become more powerful and gain more influence and deceive more people....
