BIGBANG TOP did not issue $THANOS meme coin by taking advantage of the squid game trend! Three solid proofs teach you how to distinguish celebrity coin issuance
After Trump launched his coin, celebrity coin launches have become a hot topic in the crypto world. However, this has also led to many scams, especially those that use name changes to fake celebrity coin launches. This afternoon at 4:21, a suspicious account claiming to be TOP, a member of the Korean group BIGBANG, emerged and issued a meme coin named THANOS, after TOP's character in the squid game. Within half an hour, the Market Cap soared to 3 million pounds. However, the Chain News editor immediately checked the account and found many doubts. The following are the evidence we have verified to debunk the rumors about TOP.
The three ironclad proofs that this is definitely not TOP himself
At 4:21 PM, Twitter account @ramonasinger ( changed its name to @choiseungttt) in the name of BIGBANG member T.O.P, and issued the pump.fun token $THANOS (CEnmLTaPYsMTm5hbEPdUm4ar94VKecUZV68yJs16pump). The token name is named after the rapper played by T.O.P in the recent squid game. Interestingly, T.O.P joined the squid game because of losses from investing in cryptocurrency in the drama.
(Caution! Is this player a famous crypto Youtuber in the second season of 'Squid Game'? What social phenomenon is the director trying to express?)
When Chain News editors actually verified the account, they found three major doubts.
The account is a gold-certified account, which has deceived many people. However, when you actually click on the sub-account page, this account belongs to an electronic game company called @smilegate_io, which was only certified by Twitter in January and has only 777 followers. From this point of view, it is difficult to associate it with T.O.P.
Sliding further back, the previous post of this account is a photo of a blonde woman in a bikini on the beach, which seems fake from this point.
Finally, according to the opinion of senior VIP (BIGBANG fans, it is impossible for T.O.P to launch a coin and exploit investors at this time, just as he has recently made a comeback from a scandal.
Michael Jordan is also being impersonated in the same way
This morning, there was also a Twitter account @mj_official23 that issued a meme coin in the name of the basketball god Michael Jordan, with the code 49BXEGpSKHpvZLcVkhTvvpUyvePto3ovAUA6q2XSpump. After investigation, there is a record of name change, and the previous content of the account was completely unrelated. Therefore, it can be determined that the same modus operandi was used. Chain news reminds everyone that before chasing hotspots, they still need to stay calm, calm again, and then decide whether to buy after verification.
