🚨Crypto enthusiasts, heads up!🚨 Our crypto detective, ZachXBT, has sniffed out a group of scammers who've been making a killing with rug pull scams. These bad boys have a history of stealing from projects like Magnate, Kokomo, Lendora, and Solfire, and they're back with a new scheme on Blast, Leaper Finance. 💰💰💰

Their modus operandi? Letting the Total Value Locked (TVL) grow to 7 figures before swiping all user funds and falsifying KYC documents. They've also been spreading their net wide, launching scams on Base, Solana, Scroll, Optimism, Arbitrum, Ethereum, and Avalanche. 🌐

ZachXBT has connected them to scams involving Hash DAO, Glori Finance, and ZebraDAO, with total losses exceeding $20 million. 😱 In a recent post, he warned users to withdraw their assets immediately if they had funds deposited in ZebraDAO.

In their latest scam, they've resurfaced with a new scheme involving Blast’s Leaper Finance. They reportedly injected nearly $1 million, acquired from previous scams, into a Leaper Finance address on the Blast network, boosting liquidity to lure unsuspecting victims. 🎣

Following the exposure of Leaper Finance’s ties to the scams, the group responded to ZachXBT, taunting him while revealing a ‘token launch.’ They've since deactivated Leaper Finance and Glori Finance X accounts, and the associated websites have been taken offline.

In the first two months of 2024 alone, more than $200 million in cryptocurrencies have been lost due to hacks and rug pulls across 32 separate incidents. That's a 15.4% rise compared to the same period in 2023. Stay vigilant, folks! 🕵️‍♂️🔍
