Fred Krueger and Ben Sigman: The Midnight Heist That Netted $292k on $SAB121
Fred Krueger (@dotkrueger ) and his associate Ben Sigman (@bensig) executed a heist in the middle of the night, making $292,000 by sniping 67% of the #SAB121 token supply.
Fred also profited an additional $58,645 by rug-pulling tokens like $USSR, $Krueger, and $Fred. Despite presenting themselves as Bitcoin maximalists and early Bitcoin adopters, their recent actions suggest they’re exploiting the meme token market for personal gain.
Let’s break down what happened: 🧵
About Fred and Ben
Background on $SAB121
On January 24, 2025, at 00:35:51 UTC, Fred Krueger launched a meme token named $SAB121 via a wallet he had previously used to accept Solana donations. He announced the token on Twitter, claiming it was created to commemorate the repeal of SAB-121.
Note: All tweets related to $SAB121 and Fred's involvement in its launch have since been deleted.
Shortly after launching, Fred sniped 67% of the $SAB121 supply (670,624,999 tokens). The token quickly ran reached a market cap of $22 million before the massive dump began.
How They Profited
--Initial Dumps
Fred's wallet sent 300M $SAB121 tokens to another address and dumped them an hour after for $140,000 in two transactions:
Fred sent the remaining 370M tokens to another wallet and burned them 14hrs after the launch(token already dumped) LOL. However, the dumping didn’t stop there:
One wallet bought 9.7M tokens for 1.92 $SOL ($493) and dumped them for $20,000.

Another wallet purchased 19.2M tokens for 5 $SOL ($1,244) and dumped them for $132,000.

Fred and Ben likely control these wallets as they bought the same minute it was launched, making a combined profit of $292,000 from #SAB121.
Fred’s History of Rug Pulls
Fred’s actions with $SAB121 aren’t isolated incidents.
Here are recent examples of his shady behavior:
$FRED Token Rug
--A meme token named $FRED was launched by a degenerate trader, who sent Fred 50% of the supply (500M tokens).
Fred dumped his holdings within 13 minutes, making 29.6 $SOL ($7,343.02).
$USSR Token Rug
--After suggesting on Twitter that he might create a token related to "The Shitcoin Reserve," another trader launched $USSR and sent him 50% of the supply.
Fred dumped his allocation within 15 minutes, netting 22 $SOL ($5,500).
$KRUEGER Token Rug
Two days ago, Fred received 60% of the $KRUEGER supply (600M tokens) and dumped it in a single transaction for 162 $SOL ($41,244).
He also dumped another 50% of $KRUEGER sent to him by a second deployer for 18 $SOL ($4,558).
Fred made a total of $58,645 from dumping tokens gifted to him, setting the stage for his $SAB121 scheme.
Exploiting Trust and Influence
Fred and Ben capitalized on their public personas and the trust of their followers to profit from meme tokens. They repeatedly dumped tokens sent to them under the guise of community engagement.
The Problem with Gifting Supplies
Sending token supplies to influential figures is a double-edged sword. While it can boost visibility, it also opens the door to exploitation if the recipient doesn’t prioritize the community’s well-being.
Do Your Own Research (DYOR)
Don’t blindly trust individuals, regardless of their reputation or claimed history. Always conduct thorough research before investing in tokens they promote or are associated with.
Conclusion
Fred Krueger and Ben Sigman’s actions highlight the dangers of unchecked influence in the crypto space.
Their heist on $SAB121 and their history of rug pulls are a cautionary story for traders and developers alike.
Stay smart, and remember dont follow blindly....

I'm an onchain analyst and onchain detector...
I analysed data via flipside..... My recent analysis was @RelayProtocol bridge to @SeiNetwork chain
I investigated the trader who shorted BTC and ETH hours before the dump, making a total of $142M in realized profit.
On-chain analysis linked the trading address to a wallet holding 29,321 BTC (≈ $3.2B), which could potentially be stolen funds.
Earlier, I clarified that the trader began shorting a day before the tariff announcement. Further investigation shows this wasn’t their first activity on Hyperliquid they’ve been trading there for a while. x.com/SpecterAnalyst… x.com/Fish4AI/status…
Trader’s Pattern
Deposits BTC to spot
Transfers from Spot → Perp (new wallet)
Makes only one Perp trade (mostly ETH)
Swaps USDC for ETH via Spot
Withdraws in ETH
Part 2: How @cryptobeastreal & His Team Made $9M from $ALT Token And Tried to Frame a Trader Who Made $2M+
This is one of the wildest meme coin investigations I’ve ever done.
Following up from Part 1, where I revealed how a trader (wallet DpU472kG...) made $2M from $ALT using automation but wasn’t part of the project team. I’ve now uncovered how the real insiders profited nearly $9M and tried to deflect blame.
The insider wallets followed a repeating pattern that made them harder to detect:
1. Wallets funded 1–2 months ago, mostly from KuCoin. 2. First activity: buy/sell random meme tokens with small amounts ($1–2) to seem organic and not fresh wallet. 3. Bought $ALT 1–5 minutes after mint. 4. Sold for USDC with massive profits. 5. Profits were transferred to intermediary wallets. 6. Funds sent to FixedFloat in chunks of $22K–$36K. 7. Some routed through MEXC and KuCoin as well.
This pattern allowed me to identify 50 wallets tied to the team, even though they avoided clustering their activity.
An investigation into CBEX — a Ponzi investment platform that has successfully defrauded people of more than $12M through their website. I began this investigation two weeks ago.
This is going to be a long thread. Take a seat.
Let’s dive in 👇
CBEX claims to have been in existence since 2017 under a company named ST Technologies International Limited. That’s a lie.
According to WHOIS data, none of the websites were registered before January 2024, meaning the CBEX Ponzi scheme only went live last year.
Worth noting: CBEX and PCEX are owned by the same team. More on that later.
Now, there is a legitimate company called CBEX Group — China Beijing Equity Exchange — a government-run equity platform.
In February and April 2024, the real CBEX (China) and the Hong Kong authorities released statements denying any link to the crypto exchange CBEX using their name.
ZachXBT and the $3.9M Meme Token Saga: Hero or Villain?
Many hail ZachXBT as a hero, while others claim he’s living long enough to become a villain. Let’s uncover the truth behind the controversy.
#ZachXBT #Thread
Background
A few days ago, U.S. President Donald Trump launched his meme token, $TRUMP, which was soon followed by a token from his wife. These events created significant buzz in the market. During this euphoria, crypto trader @mickicrosschain tweeted:
"The busiest person in crypto over the next four years will be @zachxbt."
@ZachXBT, a renowned blockchain investigator known for working with agencies to track fraud on the blockchain, replied that he regretted not prioritizing financial gains during his investigations.
Could This Be an Exchange, Entity, or Individual Wallet?
Investigating a Wallet Linked to 70% of Solana Pump-and-Dump Tokens and has suspicious links to Binance, having deposited $531,799 to the exchange in last 6month

#memecoin #crypto #defi #tokem #pumpfun
One wallet has caught my attention: G2YxRa6wt1qePMwfJzdXZG62ej4qaTC7YURzuh2Lwd3t. This address has been funding 70% of the rugged and pump-and-dump tokens on Solana and has suspicious links to Binance, having deposited $531,799 to the exchange in last 6month.
Is this a personal wallet, an automated bot, or something more coordinated? Let's dive in.
What We Know So Far
This address was created in September 2021 and has since been involved in funding multiple developer, insider, and drainer wallets.
