How a @VelodromeFi / @AerodromeFi contributor just banked $1M in 1 hour during the $VVV launch while we all watched like clowns. 🤡 (Thread) 🧵
1/ Yesterday, $VVV launched on Base at 3:46 PM UTC. By 3:52 PM, wallet 0x2f4572…887F aped $50K into the token.
Public announcements? Nowhere to be seen. This was no sniper bot. This was @Ace_da_Book —a contributor at Aerodrome and Velodrome, the DEXs used to launch $VVV.
2/ Here’s the kicker:
🚨 Official @AskVenice , Aerodrome, and @base announcements came at 4:30 PM UTC—+30 minutes AFTER launch.
In those 30 mins?
•Ace and some other wallets (insiders) front-ran the entire launch.
•Ace’s wallet: up ~$1M in 1 hour.
3/ The best part?
After dumping on everyone, Ace tweeted:
“Banger launch, congrats team!”
Yeah, of course, it was a banger—you farmed your retirement fund off retail bags. 💀
4/ This is insider trading 101:
•Insider at Aerodrome/Velodrome.
•Private launch info.
•Early buys while everyone else F5’d Twitter.
•Dumped for massive profits.
Degens fomo’d in at ATHs while insiders laughed all the way to the bank.
5/ Base ecosystem taking an L here.
How can anyone trust this space when contributors are rugging retail on launch day?
CT loves a good drama—share this if you’re tired of being exit liquidity for insiders.
