The Plant Crossing development team has vanished with over $1M worth of BNB, leaving thousands of users in shock and anger. This project, previously linked to major names like #BNBChain, #OKX, #Cyberconnect, and #Polyhedra, has become the latest rug pull in the crypto space.
What Happened?
1️⃣ NFT Sales: Starting in July 2023, Plant Crossing launched NFTs called Botan, promising users rewards during their Token Generation Event (TGE). Over 1,000 users joined the app, accumulating steps to earn AVA tokens.
2️⃣ Broken Promises: Despite repeated delays in their roadmap and false promises about TGE and mainnet launches in 2024, they continued selling Blind Boxes and running token pre-sales, luring more users in.
3️⃣ Exit Scam: Recently, the team disappeared, taking down their Discord, Twitter, and all official communication channels, leaving only frustrated users behind.
The Aftermath
Victims report losses ranging from $200 to thousands of dollars.
With BNB's price doubling since many users purchased the NFTs, the total scammed value has skyrocketed.
Rumors suggest the development team could be based in India, though no formal confirmation exists.
