Scammer steals $91k in fake Sleepless AI, FomoFi, NebulaNode tokens

In anticipation of the launch of Sleepless AI farming on the Launchpool platform from Binance, unknown people conducted a rug pull of the token of the same name.

As PeckShield analysts reported, one of the addresses exchanged 1 billion fake AI for $91,000 in ETH. As a result, the token’s price fell by 97.5%. A similar rug pull scheme was carried out with the fake FomoFi token.

The attacker’s address exchanged over 5.3 trillion FOMO for 189,600 BSC-USD, after which the coin price dropped to zero. Another incident devalued the NebulaNode token after exchanging numerous NNNN tokens for 1033.8 BNB, the equivalent of $335,900.

Farming of the original Sleepless AI project on Launchpool started on Dec. 28; the project became the 42nd in Launchpool. It presents a web3 gaming platform using AI. Currently, users can stake BNB, FDUSD, and TUSD in pools to farm AI tokens in a campaign set to last seven days.

Security experts Certik reported a rug pull involving fake Linea tokens earlier in October. As a result of the fraud, unknown people stole about $743,000. Victims have stated that the scam was potentially conducted by a Russian user named ‘AltLex,’ promoting the token on social media.

Bitcoin is struggling to sustain above $38,000, but the bulls have not given up much ground, which some analysts say increases the chance of a rally to $40,000. Bitcoin (BTC) is trying to sustain above the overhead resistance of $38,000 for the second consecutive day and start the next leg of the uptrend. The excitement among market observers may have increased after the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) delayed its decision on the applications of Franklin Templeton and Hashdex exchange-traded funds. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart speculated in a X (formerly Twitter) post that the SEC may have taken this step “to line every applicant up for potential approval by the Jan. 10, 2024 deadline.” While many analysts believe that the ETF listing will be a watershed moment for Bitcoin, Genesis Trading head of derivatives Joshua Lim cautioned in a X post that traditional finance investors have already bought the rumor and may exit the trade close to the ETF announcem
