Robinhood Chain Rug-Pull Network Allegedly Cashed Out $18.4M Across 53 Token Launches
A suspected rug-pull network on the Robinhood chain has reportedly extracted around $18.43 million from at least 53 token launches over the past two months.
According to on-chain analyst Wazz, the group appears to be linked to a series of coordinated token deployments and cash-outs, with the real figure potentially even higher.
Interestingly, the DEED token that sparked the investigation wasn’t among the group’s top 10 most profitable exits, suggesting the operation may be much larger than initially thought.
