Boi oh boi... I wrote about the pornstar Lana Rhoades doing an NFT rugpull scam about a month ago. I though that was the end of it. I guess I was wrong.
Coincidentally...
A few days ago, the Frosties NFT creators were arrested finally and it made me smile. The powers that be finally cracking down on crypto and NFT scammers is quite a sight to see. With this kind of technology, pseudo-anonymity is what a lot of scammers hide behind. Some smarter than others.
When the hammer starts coming down, though... It can spook other people that have done the exact same thing with their projects. Shill project as great investment. Promise all kinds of awesome stuff to early investors. Raise a shit ton of money. Abandon project. Wash hands and move on. Not anymore.
Lana Rhoades must have seen the news because less than 12 hours after the article came out that these scammers were arrested... The CryptoSis Twitter account was revived after no updates on the project for over a month. Now all of a sudden there's new stuff coming out. I guess technically now she's safe from the law LOL.
After tweeting "We aren't done yet :)", she tried to explain why the NFTs were no longer on OpenSea. These bad bois just vanished from the OpenSea market after the rug pull, and now she's trying to save face by saying that they're on LooksRare.
It seems that some people have even seen their NFTs that they spent ETH on just disappear entirely. If you're trying to tell people that's not a rug pull - you're fucking delusional. Supposedly, after being removed from OpenSea, she was paid out 8 ETH in royalties that is going to be "used for the community".
What about the other millions of dollars she ran away with? What is that being used for? Hmm.... Ohhh right there's merch! But only for 50 holders. This shit is beyond laughable.
Don't worry guys, all the money you lost is being put to good use with this supposed $500 giveaway for holders. $500 is a small amount considering she made millions off this trash NFT drop that was clearly a cash grab. 9 times out of 10 these Twitter giveaways are staged anyway so you know... Do with that what you will.
Uh oh! She bought a plot of land in The Sandbox. I can't wait to see what it gets used for (if anything). Don't worry guys, everything is legit because the account is posting screenshots of arbitrary transactions to try to look honest. Peep the CryptoSis Twitter account if you wanna see all the replies and have a laugh.
I was expecting to see some insane number for volume on LooksRare because people are stupid but I was pleasantly surprised. No volume at all. Good. Don't buy this trash NFT collection, regardless of how cheap they are. There will never be any value and you will never make money with them. Apes gunna ape though, so you do you fam.
I wonder how many other projects are going to suddenly become active again to try to trick the law. Probably a lot to be honest. I guess the assumption is that if you're still "active", then you can't be arrested for scamming people. As long as you're pretending to do something with the project, everyone should just forget what happened. Makes sense I guess lol.
Thanks for reading! Much love.
