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 (Tx 0xa37b…407c), 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 0x255e…a54b
  2. Tx 0xfb3b…23f6

The tokens were then exchanged for $BNB via PancakeSwap:

  1. Tx 0xef60…cbea
  2. Tx 0x4bfe…e2aa.

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

As the time of this writing information on this case is scarce. More sources will be added if the case should develop.
