Incident Details

The G.O.A.T. (“Greatest of all Tokens”) project claimed to be “the new standard in cryptocurrency”, with vague claims that it would “add value by addressing scalability and risk management utilizing a broad range of strategies”. Unfortunately for buyers, one risk they didn’t manage was that one of the project developers would suddenly sell off their holdings, making off with $260,000 while crashing the token price to nearly $0.The remaining project developers have tried to remain positive and restore faith in the community, accusing the developer who sold of “gluttony” and “greed”. The project also implemented a steep 50% tax on remaining holders to discourage them from trying to sell.

Total loss estimated at $260,956.
