Standard pump-and-dump scheme leveraged the promotional power of Melania Trump and Argentina’s President Javier Milei to snag unwitting investors.
Investors have filed a class-action lawsuit (amended twice so far) in the U.S. District Court for New York, alleging that the $MELANIA token is part of a large-scale pump-and-dump scheme involving at least 15 other tokens, including $LIBRA and $M3M3.
The scheme allegedly inflicted millions of dollars in losses on unwitting investors. Scammers reportedly accumulated around one-third of $MELANIA’s total supply pre-launch before dumping them once retail FOMO kicked in. https://www.wired.com/story/melania-trump-used-as-window-dressing-in-elaborate-memecoin-fraud-legal-filing-claims/
But wait there is MORE!
Hours after being sued, 3 addresses linked to the Trump team received a $4.2M airdrop of $MET tokens from Meteora - a crypto exchange operated by the scammers. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/meteora-gave-trump-team-4-091931328.html #Crypto #CryptoCurrencies #$Melania #PumpDump #ClassAction #Lawsuit #CryptoFraud #$MET #Tokens #DigitalAssets #Meteora #CryptoExchange #MemeCoin
