Since US President Donald Trump launched his same signature, Trump, on January 18, at least five best politicians were involved in launches of false or tested chips – a worrying number in just one month.
It should be noted in particular the participation of the Argentinian president Javier Milei in the balanced token. According to Nansen, more than 13,000 investors lost $ 251 million combined. On the other hand, the traction of alleged carpets allowed only 2,101 investors to win $ 180 million in total.
Many attempts have been made by crooks to take advantage of the craze for the American president of the same by using the resemblance of other figures of prowe – from Saudi Arabia to Malaysia.
Here is an overview of some of the even scandals that involved world leaders from Trump.
February 10 – Continuous confusion on the Central African Republic
In an apparent attempt to bring prosperity to his country, the President of the Central African Republic launched a national token, a car, on February 10. However, its awkward launch caused confusion about its legitimacy.
President Faustin -Archange Touadéra’s verified account promoted the same – but shortly after, the project website has become dark and its X account was suspended.
Touadéra made the strange decision to launch a new website and an X account after hours of silence, fueling doubts about authenticity. These concerns were supported by a video published by the Touadéra account which sparked red flags when executed via Deepfake detection tools.
However, a later video published by the President did not raise these flags.
The bettors could not decide if the car was authentic. Many users have warned X to avoid investing, just to be sure. In the end, the awkward launch was sufficient to send a falling car from a rapid market capitalization of $ 600 million to almost $ $ 0 in two days.
February 14 – “Libragate” starts with Argentina Javier Milei
The balanced token is the best known example of a world leader involved in a memecoin scandal since Trump. According to Nansen, 86% of merchants lost more than $ 1,000 by investing in a token promoted by the Argentinian president, Javier Milei – in other words, more than 13,000 investors have lost $ 251 million in total.
Milei enthusiastically posted the balance on February 14, a project with the supposed intention of “financed small Argentinian and startups”. His post now deleted has given credits to the same, as well as the positions of several Argentinian politicians.
Balance pumped $ 4 before crashing quickly. Milei said the next day that he “was not aware of the details of the project” and that when he was informed, he “decided not to continue to give him an exhibition”.
However, contradictory stories emerged shortly after. Milei quickly fought allegations according to which he was involved in the project since his infancy, as well as potential accusations of dismissal and fraud. These accusations are underway.
February 15 – Fake Bermuda Coin used the resemblance of the first
The Prime Minister of Bermuda, David Burt, came from X on February 2. The crooks have set up a false account using its resemblance, getting their hands on a gray verification badge – generally reserved for government representatives. The real Burt account has not even received this badge.
The swindle account began to promote a pump token. He marked X and its owner, Elon Musk, in a post, urging them to repair the situation.
“I don’t know how they get a gray verification badge, but people will be scammed due to the lack of controls on this application. Please repair, ”read the message.
Despite a delay in X’s action, the Bermuda Pump.fun token has never attracted many investors. The history of trade shows only two buyers who both sold in a few minutes, including the creator of the same.
February 17 – PM Saudi in Arabia was usurped in the identity of Faux Mamecoin National
The narrative X of the annual conference of Saudi law was hacked by crooks and modified to pretend to be the Saudi Prime Minister, the Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, in order to promote the “official” of Saudi Arabia same, KSA .
The KSA was promoted under the cover of the Crown Prince on February 17, on the wave of the balance of Milei. It was not difficult to suspect a scam, however, since the KSA was not promoted on official government channels, and the project has no appropriate support and token.
More blatant, of course, was the fact that KSA was launched on Pump. Fun by a random developer with two subscribers.
KSA failed to win a lot of traction, which had only a market capitalization of $ 7,489 before the public took.
Same Frenzy ending?
In addition to Touadéra, Milei, Burt and Bin Salman, the oldest Prime Minister in Malaysia was also involved in a cryptographic scam on X. The X account of former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad was temporarily hacked on February 5 To promote a Malaysia token on Pump.fun. .
And just a day after Trump’s launch, Cuba’s X government account was also hacked to promote Cuba.
This marks at least five examples of world leaders involved in the same as the American president has joined the trend. But countless celebrities – notably Breaking Bad Star Dean Norris – fell into similar problems.
The silver lining? Schools cannot overcome Trump’s tails forever. According to Solscan, the frenzy of the same slows down. That it will see a resurgence is another matter, but at least for the moment, it seems that fatigue settles down.
