What happened
Linda Yaccarino token project was rugpulled by the deployer, who manipulated the price and created false on-chain activity. The scammer stole 374,723 $USD while only initially adding 10,000 $USD as liquidity.
Linda Yaccarino $LINDA token is a BEP20 token trading on PancakeSwap. The project experienced a significant rugpull in which the deployer manipulated the price and created false on-chain activity. They repeatedly bought and sold tokens for the same amount to give an illusion of trading volume. Additionally, three transactions involving 600,000 $USD were executed to pump up prices further.
The scammer then withdrew 374,723 $USD by selling all their acquired $LINDA tokens, leaving investors with worthless holdings. The scammer used a smart contract that allows anyone to create scam tokens.
