Fake Token On UNISWAP
The FBI created an actual ERC-20 token called NexFundAI.. Listed it on Uniswap.. Built a website.. Promised "AI-powered investing"..
Then they waited..
What They Caught
✅ Gotbit: Run by a 26-year-old Russian. Kept internal sheets labeled "fake volume" vs "market volume". Offered to fake $1M daily volume for just $200.
✅ MyTrade: Founder called himself "the mastermind". Said on a recorded call: "We make the chart look like a nice roller coaster.. We have to make them lose money to make profit".
✅ CLS Global: Dubai-based. Bots generated the vast majority of NexFundAI's volume. Offered to sync fake pumps with fake news.
✅ ZM Quant: Bots running 10-20 trades per minute across dozens of wallets to look organic.
The Damage
🔹 18 individuals and entities charged
🔹 $25M+ in crypto seized
🔹 60+ tokens flagged for wash trading
🔹 Gotbit CEO Aleksei Andriunin, 8 months prison + $23M forfeiture
🔹 Saitama meme coin hit $7.5B market cap.. built entirely on fake volume
The 2026 Update
The FBI ran it again with a new token called Lexobit. 10 more execs charged across Gotbit, Vortex, Antier, and Contrarian. 3 CEOs extradited from Singapore.
Gotbit's response when asked about pump and dumps?
"We take 2% from liquidations and don't judge"
The Brutal Truth For Retail
👉 The volume is fake.. The charts are painted.. The momentum is manufactured..
👉 Every time you buy a token because "the chart looks bullish".. You might be the exit liquidity.
👉 If the chart looks too clean.. If the volume spikes look perfect.. If the candles look painted.. Ask why.
