A trading bot immediately capitalized on the error, first taking $1.5 million and then another $10.5 million when the same mistake was repeated.
The MEV Bot that took the coins managed to sell them off for over $600K, sending the price down -90% in the process.
Despite losing 40% of the supply, Ross still holds 10% of the token in a separate address, with LP correctly added on Raydium Concentrated Liquidity. (currently… x.com/i/web/status/1…

As a result, ROSS crashed 90%. Despite losing 40% of the token supply, the affected wallets still hold 10% worth about $200,000.
The wallets, listed for donations on FreeRoss.org, received half of the ROSS supply from its developer.
📈Technical Analysis Masterclass:
Key Technical Insights
Bullish Divergence: While WLD's price is making lower lows, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is making higher lows, signaling that bearish pressure may be fading.
Reversal Timing: Price reversals don’t happen instantly—WLD may remain low for days or weeks before a strong move.
Confirmation Needed: Traders should wait for WLD to form higher highs and higher lows to confirm a trend reversal before entering a trade.
Indicators to Watch
Moving Averages: No bullish confirmation yet, suggesting the downtrend is still in play.
MACD: Remains in negative momentum, reinforcing bearish market sentiment.
RSI: Still below 50, meaning sellers remain in control. A break above 50 would strengthen a bullish case.

Filed in a New York federal court, the suit demands the rescission of all token purchases and financial damages for investors.
My issue is not necessarily with what pump fun is(a token launchpad), it’s more about the fact that they don’t do more to combat scammers.
I understand growing pains, but they are beyond that now.
