Mr. Whale further told his teeming followers to expect more of such incidents in the coming days:
“REMINDER: As the bull market fades, many projects will too! Expect a huge increase in exit scams over these next few months. Never invest in projects that are very new, with anonymous teams, made as memes, and have a lack of real utility. Stay safe everyone!”
The latest exit scam follows reports of two Turkish crypto exchanges allegedly performing an exit scam. The first one, known as Thodex saw about 62 people arrested by local authorities, under accusations of defrauding its clients of $2 billion worth of digital currency.
