Possible Signs of Money Laundering in the Meme Coin Space?

Several recent trades have raised eyebrows:

– A trader turned $608 into $881,000 — a profit of $880,400.

– Another started with just $45 and exited at $306,400 — netting the full amount.

– One user flipped $7.60 into $107,100.

– Someone invested $91 and walked away with $45,200.

– An entry of $228 became $29,200.

– Even a larger trade of $3,379 turned into $27,500.

These numbers seem unbelievable — and they may be.

This isn’t just about lucky traders or viral coins. These patterns closely resemble money laundering tactics commonly seen in the crypto space.

Here’s how it works:

1. Scammers create a meme coin.

2. Using fresh wallets, they make small purchases ($10–$500) to simulate organic interest.

3. They then inject stolen or illicit funds (often $500,000–$1,000,000+) to artificially pump the price.

4. Early wallets — which are part of the same network — now show astronomical gains on paper.

5. These wallets then sell into the hype, laundering stolen funds as “legitimate” profits.

This is a common wash-trading and laundering technique masked as meme coin success stories.
