A well-known figure's token crashes: on-chain data reveals a million-dollar cash-out suspicion

Abstract generation in progress

【Blockchain Rhythm】The NYC token launched by the former New York City mayor has attracted market attention. According to on-chain data analysis, a wallet associated with the token deployer created a unilateral liquidity pool on a certain DEX platform, then quickly cashed out during the price increase phase, extracting approximately $2.5 million USDC. Subsequently, during a period when the token’s value was halved and dropped by 60%, about $1.5 million was re-injected, resulting in a net profit of approximately $1 million throughout the process. This typical high-sell, low-buy operation pattern has sparked community discussions about the fairness of token distribution. From the on-chain footprints, the timing of large fund inflows and outflows is too precise, which indeed warrants vigilance from participants. In the early stages of a new project launch, the behavior of liquidity providers often reflects the project’s true attitude.

It's the same old trick, openly harvesting profits.

Damn, it's the same old trick again, celebrity tokens are getting more aggressive. --- Pull out 2.5 million and then push back 1.5 million, isn't this tactic everywhere now? --- Can on-chain data lie? Wallet addresses are the evidence. --- That's why I said these celebrity coins rise so quickly... Turns out they're just waiting for the right moment to cut the leeks. --- Wake up, everyone. Do you not have a clue what precise timing means? --- It's the same liquidity trap tactic again, unavoidable and insidious. --- A net profit of 1 million is just a drop in the bucket to them, but for retail investors, it's a total loss. --- I think this kind of behavior should be permanently recorded on the blockchain. --- Isn't it just because celebrities endorse it that it's reliable? Well, now it's all exposed. --- With such obvious on-chain data, what more do I need to say?

It's the same old story, I told you... This move is indeed perfect, 2.5 million invested and 1 million out, even arithmetic is simpler than this. On-chain data never lies, the problem is that we always find out too late.

It's the same old trick again—2.5 million cash out, 1.5 million bottom-fishing, net profit of a million. It's all transparent on the blockchain. Do you still have the nerve to say the distribution is fair? Truly incredible.

This routine is so familiar to me, another classic move in the crypto world. --- With 2.5 million pulled out, a 60% dip to buy the dip again? The timing is so perfectly synchronized, it's not a coincidence. --- Celebrity effect is really effective; no one says a word when it's time to cut. --- On-chain data is right there, what are you pretending for? --- The true attitude of the project team is just two words: cut the leeks. --- I just want to know when that 1.5 million will try to escape again. --- It seems that fame can't save a shit coin's life.

It's the same trick again, precise to the second. --- Looking at the on-chain data so perfectly, it really doesn't seem like a coincidence haha. --- This wave in NYC is truly outrageous, pulling in 2.5 million and then running. --- So do we still have to dig through the chain ourselves to see clearly? --- We should have been alert to projects like this long ago, so annoying. --- A net profit of 1 million, this calculation is so precise. --- The celebrity effect really can't stop greed. --- The true attitude of liquidity providers is just like this. --- It's always this move. When will they learn their lesson? --- Buy low, sell high—classic textbook style of cutting leeks. --- Even Bitcoin isn't as stable as this. --- They've already left you enough clues, it's just up to you whether you're willing to see them.

Bro, this move is really brilliant. Withdraw 2.5 million and then eat back 1.5 million, netting a profit of 1 million. By the way, how come the timing is so spot-on? --- It's the same old trick of selling high and buying low. The true attitude of the project team is obviously just to cut leeks directly. --- On-chain data is so clear, and there are still people daring to operate like this. Do they really think we're all blind? --- NGL, I've seen this kind of thing too many times. The problem is, the people who get cut still have new leeks coming in. --- A 60% drop and a $1 million cash-out gap—how many people have to lose money to fill this hole? --- If a mayor's token can be played like this, I really have no expectations for this circle anymore. --- Just want to ask, when will this wallet be held accountable, or will it just be settled as "private operation" again? --- The key is, it's all written on the chain and still has the nerve to show off. Where's the face?

It's the same old trick again, cash out $2.5 million and buy the dip... With such obvious on-chain data, how come someone still dares to take the bait?
