This guy made millions during the crypto recession.
He caught Andrew Tate's attention, got hit with a multimillion-dollar lawsuit.
And he disappeared without a trace.
Who was Ben.eth?
Ben's story begins during the peak of the 2023 memecoin craze, driven by the PEPE hype.
He was a minor influencer in the NFT world with 15,000 followers, but getting involved early with PEPE made him money.
And it planted a dangerous idea in his head.
He launched his own token, a replica of PEPE called BEN.
At first, it barely moved, but then BitBoy started talking about it.
That gave Ben.eth huge visibility.
And that was just the beginning.
After BEN's launch
The newly minted influencer released another token:
A presale called PSYOP.
It exploded.
Ben.eth made $7 million in less than 72 hours.
The PSYOP launch promised rewards to BEN holders.
Even Andrew Tate got involved.
Rumors circulated that he was also behind the token.
Tate issued a statement claiming he would never support a memecoin (a lie as big as a cathedral).
The token crashed, but things didn't end there for Ben.
For his third token, Ben.eth released LOYAL.
He promised more rewards to PSYOP holders.
BitBoy backed him again, saying he would promote a new memecoin DEX.
But, just like before, the token plummeted.
Just hours after LOYAL's collapse,
Ben.eth launched a new NFT collection called ORANGE.
10,000 units. Mint at 0.1 ETH.
His followers burned through 9,000 NFTs in a matter of hours.
It sold out in a flash.
But once again, it was a scam.
Ben also promoted a scam token called DAVE.
All of this led to a lawsuit.
Shortly after, his account was suspended and he disappeared.
And what about his real identity?
Ben's identity was leaked in a few posts.
One claimed his real name was Blake (not even Ben).
Pauly doxxed him later without solid proof.
The truth is, no one really knows who Ben is.
