    4. Recent details about fraudulent schemes in the world of cryptocurrency have been revealed thanks to a crypto trader known as Phantom. He earned $200,000 by exploiting meme cryptocurrencies using a method called 'rugging'.

    Phantom’s Rugging Method and Tools

    Phantom employs a method called 'rugging,' which involves creating and dumping meme coins. He uses tools like Pump.Fun, a token generator, and DogWiffTools, which fabricate demand by showing falsified buyer activity, making the tokens appear desirable to investors.

    Phantom's Exposure

    YouTuber known as NFT Nate exposed Phantom's tactics. Phantom creates custom tokens and then uses a 'Dump all' command to sell all his holdings at once. This action crashes the market for the token, rendering it worthless while he walks away with significant profits.

    “98.5% of meme coins are disposed of before even making it to crypto exchanges,” NFT Nate.

    Cryptocurrency Market Vulnerability

    Phantom's operation highlights a critical vulnerability in the cryptocurrency market—the ease of manipulating investor trust and the minimal oversight that allows such schemes to flourish. This scam is not isolated. A former employee of Pump.Fun was arrested for stealing $1.9 million through similar tactics.

    The continuous growth of the cryptocurrency world matches the evolution of its participants' tactics. Recent revelations about Phantom's operations emphasize the urgent need for tighter regulations and increased investor education.
