The rug pull

地毯拉力

A "rug pull" or exit scam is when you buy into a new coin or NFT and when the value of the coin rises to a specific point, the developers behind the scam remove all of their holdings and so plunge the value down to zero.

「地毯拉動」或退出騙局是指當您購買新代幣或NFT 時，當該代幣的價值上升到特定點時，騙局背後的開發商會刪除其所有持有的資產，從而將其價值降至零。

The infamous Squid Game cryptocurrency scam in October 2021 was an example of a rug pull scam that caught the attention of mainstream media outlets.

2021 年 10 月臭名昭著的 Squid Game 加密貨幣騙局就是引起主流媒體關注的拉地毯騙局的一個例子。

Soon the hype and fear of missing out became feverish, a multitude of retail investors got on board and the charts for Squid Game went green and pitched upwards at a steep angle.

很快，炒作和對錯失的恐懼變得狂熱，大量散戶投資者紛紛加入，Squid Game 的圖表變綠並以陡峭的角度向上傾斜。

Then one morning in early November, a red vertical line suddenly appeared on the memecoin's price chart, the token's value plummeted to a pittance and it could not be traded on any decentralised exchange.

然後11月初的一天早上，memecoin的價格圖表上突然出現了一條紅色豎線，該代幣的價值暴跌至微不足道，無法在任何去中心化交易所進行交易。

The memecoin’s Telegram group was deleted, and all trace of the project’s social media footprint was wiped and it became apparent that the whole enterprise was a rug pull.

memecoin 的 Telegram 群組被刪除，該項目在社交媒體上的所有痕跡都被抹去，很明顯整個企業都是一場騙局。

The crypto-sphere is unregulated, and there are no official bodies to turn to when scammers strike.

加密領域不受監管，當詐騙者發動攻擊時，也沒有可以求助的官方機構。

Celebrities with vested interests in NFT projects
