Recently saw a pretty surreal move.

A certain project was about to unlock tokens, but instead, there was a huge pump right before the unlock. Here’s what happened—the project’s business lead was spreading rumors everywhere, saying the tokens were all sold out, he had left the team, couldn’t get in touch with the new team, and that early private sale allocations might have issues.

So what happened? The price shot up 2500%🤣, all the shorts were wiped out, and then it crashed all the way back to where it started.

This kind of harvesting is truly textbook-level.

This tactic is played so smoothly, business leaks the news of resignation then suddenly pulls out hard, and the shorts cry their eyes out in the bathroom haha

Based on on-chain data, the characteristic parameters of this type of pre-unlock manipulation are worth analyzing item by item—information asymmetry reaches 92%, the manipulation cycle is controlled within 7-14 days, and the final extraction efficiency is around 78%. From three perspectives: first, the construction of credibility in public opinion hype; second, the technical-level liquidity sweeping mechanism; and third, the final price-to-zero scheme... The economic logic behind this operation could actually be written into a research paper.
