Skate Metaverse Hack

TOTAL LOST $35K
Low Rugpull

What happened

The $SMC token has been rugpulled by the token creator. The creator of the token exchanged 10m of $SMC tokens for $BNB via PancakeSwap and  then proceeded to launder  ~530 $BNB through the Tornado.cash of which ~158 $BNB were identified as stolen.

The contract deployer created the token contract on the BSC network in this transaction (https://bscscan.com/tx/0xa37b6029…79407c), where 100m of $SMC tokens were minted. After 12 days, 12.5m tokens were sent to the other of the scammer's addresses in these two transactions:

  1. Tx
  2. Tx

The tokens were then exchanged for $BNB via PancakeSwap:

  1. Tx
  2. Tx

After the token was dumped, and $BNB was received, they were sent to the scammer address (D) where they were laundered through Tornado.cash.
