Ripple’s chief technology officer (CTO), David Schwartz, responded to a tweet from a crypto enthusiast, calling the BEN Coin project a 100% rug puller. Schwartz asked the poster why he believed this, but still expressed his reservations about the new crypto project.
So many crypto coins are launched in the market daily. However, fraudulent schemes and sweepstakes also entice unsuspecting clients to invest.
A rug draw is a crypto scam where the project founder suddenly withdraws cash from the project, disappearing with the investors’ funds. This leads to a sharp drop in prices and losses for investors.
David Schwartz expresses reservations about BEN Coin
A Crypto Enthusiast Thinks The BEN Coin Project Was A 100% carpet traction. Reacting to the tweet, Schwartz asked the user if he thought rug pulling would happen in the future or if Bitboy’s involvement in the project was rug pulling. Schwartz further concluded that he believed in one of these scenarios.
Are you saying the rug will be pulled in the future? Or are you saying that Bitboy joining the team is itself a carpet pull? Because one of those things I definitely agree with.
