What happened
Helio Protocol rugpull occurred on Sep 7, 2023, with the deployer removing liquidity worth 178,277 USD from PancakeSwap, resulting in a loss of 829.41 BNB.
Helio Protocol, a BEP20 token trading on PancakeSwap, is a copycat token not to be confused with the original project or tokens with a similar name. On Sep 7, 2023, the deployer removed liquidity from the LP pool, causing a rugpull. Part of the stolen funds, held in USDT, are still in the token creator's wallet, while the other part was deposited into the ByBit exchange.
