Falling for This Scam is Nuts š¤
Imagine getting scammed not once, not twice, but three times by the sameĀ 13-year-old kid.Ā Thatās exactly what happened in the bizarre saga of a meme coin calledĀ Quant.Ā Over a series of rug pulls, this kid walked away withĀ $50,000Ā ā and yes, many of the same investors fell for it each time.
Hereās how it happened:
1ļøā£Ā Round 1: The kid launched a meme coin called Quant, promised big returns, and then rug-pulled the investors forĀ $30K.
2ļøā£Ā Round 2: He launched another coin calledĀ "Iām Sorry,"Ā pretending it was a redemption arc. People actually believed him and lost anotherĀ $10K.
3ļøā£Ā Round 3: He tried again with a coin named after his dog and scammed investors for yet anotherĀ $10K.
Whatās mind-blowing? Many of the victims wereĀ grown adultsĀ who fell for the same scam repeatedly. An expert analyst said it best:Ā "If you got scammed by a 13-year-old, you probably deserve it."
Crypto FOMO (fear of missing out) drives people to throw money into shady, unregulated coins like this, hoping to catch a quick moonshot. But scams like these are designed to enrich insiders ā not investors.
This saga didnāt end with the scams, either. Some salty investors tried to pump the value of the coin after the rug pull, supposedly to āmake the kid feel badā by showing him how much money heĀ couldāve made.Ā But honestly? It feels like a desperate move to scam others into buying so they could escape with their money.
The lesson here:Ā Be cautious with meme coins and unregulated crypto projects.Ā If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Donāt get caught chasing hype ā or you might end up outsmarted by a middle schooler.
