On February 17, blockchain data analysis platform Bubblemaps published a statement saying that by analyzing cross-chain transfers and time patterns, it is highly certain that LIBRA is controlled by the same team as MELANIA.

P5tb4 address, which earned more than $2.4 million from #Libre , transferred all profits to 0xcEA, a wallet associated with the creator of MELANIA. There are multiple ways to connect 0xcEA to the creator of MELANIA, including fund transactions and cross-chain transfers.

This means that the creator of MELANIA - or someone on his team - snapped up at the launch of his own project. A few weeks later, 0xcEA was funding DEfcyK, the creator of LIBRA. 0xcEA also snapped up LIBRA and made $6 million in profits through multiple sidechain addresses funded by CCTP.

There are also a number of token launches associated with 0xcEA, most of which are clear pump and dump scams. Here are some of them: #TRUST, KACY, VIBES — even HOOD.
