The $KOGE team did not actually rug pull in the traditional way (meaning they did not withdraw liquidity and disappear), but rather they simply started selling their tokens from the market, thus putting significant pressure on the price.

But when people confronted him, he said, "We never said we wouldn't sell. You're the one who made that assumption."

He says to you, "I'm half a scammer... but you're the one who didn't believe us." He compares himself to Binance and tells you that even Binance sells $BNB , which is a completely inappropriate comparison because the difference between a global centralized company and a local meme coin is as great as the earth and the sky.

But the message is clear: We didn't set you up... We let you set yourself up.

🪤 $ZKJ – Classic RUG Scenario

Here's another movie...

Suddenly, strange transactions appeared on-chain activity, large withdrawals, and suspicious token distribution, and people started to notice. The response was, "These transactions are normal... the project is still up and running."

But people felt that they were saying it? Give us some time... We will finish what is left and see if we will continue or not.

The problem here is that there is always a trick called the Buy Time Strategy. This means that after the project has implemented the rug process or at the beginning of it, it starts to come up with excuses and delays so that people remain hanging and do not sell... and this gives them an opportunity to sell the remaining quantity.

🔎 These are real examples of one of the most dangerous fraudulent methods in the market. It's not always a direct scam... sometimes it's a legal scam in form... but a scam in substance.

No one can guarantee you any project... You have to research it yourself, understand the mechanics, see the tech, the team, and the movement on the chain.

The most important rule is that if the project is not 100% transparent, there is no clear roadmap, and there are no audited smart contracts... consider it playing with fire and it will explode in your face at any moment.

And of course the only opinion is financial advice 😊👻
