Least surprising Rug pull to date...

Is it a rugpull? Wasnt this literally seen as giving money to the leeker as a thank you? Who was buying this thinking that it was going to make them money?

He could’ve taken donations in XMR and then it would’ve been actually hard to trace.

Yes, but under the crypto more people were willing to donate because there was a chance they could’ve pulled out with him if they timed it right. It gave people more of a reason to invest in it, and when a crypto coin all of a sudden starts skyrocketing in value, it will start getting noticed from outside factors, which would also start pumping into it as well. The value went up to like 30 million.

Eh, or you could buy call options on Take Two after it's drop. Curious to see how the market reacts to the netflix release tomorrow though.

Right, but that’s not as predictable because you don’t know how any stocks or calls work out unless you the government or the higher-ups. Everyone knew this is gonna be a pump and dump that was gonna die out the day before the Netflix release.

couldn't have been that predictable as many people got stuck or just considered it a donation.. By the way the call options are up 15% today. Solid return, although only worth it because Take Two stock fell after the leaks which idk just looked too awesome anyway.

Take two stock dropping and going up has very little to do with the leaks. Companies go up and down by a few percentages every single day. That’s how the stock market works. Leaks had very little to do with it. The point being is crypto looks more appetizing because it rapidly goes up due to the hype that came with the leaks. It was very predictable How it was gonna play out. Yes for most people it was just a donation, but if you timed it right, you could end up making a profit instead. it’s a much easier game to play.

There are not many people willing to mess with XMR, legit using it prob puts u on a watch list somewhere since it's only criminals and privacy hardcores that use it

This is literally done by most piracy groups these days too

A thank you for what? Anybody thinking these leaks are worth a single penny are morons.

I saw that the cash was just in transaction fees and it isn't really a rugpull, just a natural crash.
