How can you create a meme coin with no real-world value that has a market capitalization and trading volume surpassing even well-funded projects with high practical applications? It's evident that this market is in great need of new, greedy investors who are eager to get rich quickly based on meme coins.
Meme coins only serve two purposes, the first one is for scammers to enrich themselves greatly with no effort at all, the second goal is for speculators to try to outsmart each other and make a lot of money as quickly as possible, however while the scammers have almost no chance to fail, as the costs of creating a meme coin are zero, those that invest in a useless meme coin risk losing all the capital they invested in it, and unfortunately for them this is the most likely outcome they can get. 
Topic: PEPE's $16M Nightmare: Ex-Team Under Fire (Read 329 times)
Three former members of the PEPE community are alleged to have stolen $16 million worth of PEPE tokens from the project's multisig wallet and transferred control to the only remaining member.
The anonymous founding member clarified the situation, explaining that the ex-team members stole the funds and abandoned the project, leaving control in the hands of the remaining member. The stolen funds were sent to exchanges for selling, while the remaining member and the remaining 10 trillion PEPE tokens are secured.
The remaining member is now focused on moving forward in the best interest of the PEPE community. This is what happens when you trust anonymous frogs with your money.

This is what happens when you actually put your money in memes or things that completely don't make sense. The whole project revolves around a frog meme. I mean what did people really expect the "developers" were actually going to do, run a legit project? 😅
it wasnt still that been launched or i just missed about Shibarium which it did really make this project pulling out on meme category. This is why you cant really blame out to those $PEPE supporters on having that impression too. Memes are indeed not really that worth to be hold for long term because of that absence of utility but basing up on what we are seeing on a market or having that history then you cant really be able to blame out people on not to take up some chances on diving in whenever they do see those opportunities. They wont really be liking on missing out again on becoming rich or making tons of money out of those investment.
This is why situations like this could really be totally random and on investors point of view then making out decisions like this wont be simple. This is why we do really
need to take up some risks if we do have plans on attaining something but of course there's no assurance whether it would succeed or not.

This is the company's mistake and this is a risk that must be borne by the entire team even though it is part of them who did it. The lesson we can take is to always be careful when it comes to money. Don't give full access to anyone other than yourself. Even if it is your closest friend.
I once came across a quote that said that one way to see someone's true character is: That is when it comes to traveling together or doing business together. Because those two things can give us an idea of a person's character.

This is sad because they were a team but what can you do when the other people don't have the same mindsets, especially the same goals as you.
Those people remained hoping they would be loyal and would help each other to improve their project to the point it could keep up with their competitors in the crypto market. This is a big lesson for all of them because when money is involved, only a few will stay loyal and remain.
This is why we need to be very careful of whom we trust to avoid unnecessary complains. The project were built by the same team and they should have not abandoned the project because of greed and hunger for money. Pepe was a good project I have been fantasizing to make an investment on but I was surprised to notice that the market had fallen drastically without hope that it will go back to the previous high. This is why we need to measure our weight when making investment so that if anything happens, we can still bear the lose.

I think this was a good project when it started to explode on twitter but buying it recently it’s just way too risky. I think it ran its course and most likely will go nowhere. Especially since other legit projects can’t rally then what hope is there for this meme coin.
Yes, that's how it was in the beginning, there was a lot of hype and really exploded very quickly. However, when the price really goes up, that's where you know that something is not right with this project.
And now it was obvious, the ex-team and whoever is in the beginning of this project, might not thought that it will reach a fever pitch. But then, he thinks he need to take something out of it and so this happens. The bad thing is that it was the investors who are affected by it. Another lessons for those who loves to hunt meme coin, get out early while you can.

I always say that memecoins are not recommended opportunities for investment since they are all about the hype and they don't have any genuine teams or have anything useful to offer the community, and problems like these are always expected for projects that have anonymous teams behind them, and who knows, there might only be one person who is fooling the community by transferring and selling the tokens himself and saying it was the team members who did this.The anonymous founding member clarified the situation, explaining that the ex-team members stole the funds and abandoned the project, leaving control in the hands of the remaining member.

Meme coins are only good when they are being hyped and you buy them and sell them as soon as possible for just some profit, if you keep holding on to your tokens thinking that they are a lot of tokens and you will earn a lot of money if the value of the coin goes up then you will end up losing instead of getting anything.

Well i am not sure what sort of mindset you are talking about, but i am certain that 99.9% of the holders were looking to get rich with it. So in that sense they had same mind set. Only difference between most of the investors and these guys is the fact that they had an opportunity to do this, and i am guessing most of the investors would take same opportunity in a heart beat. Crypto scene isn't a community full of altruists, but more of a community full of opportunists.Those people remained hoping they would be loyal and would help each other to improve their project to the point it could keep up with their competitors in the crypto market.

Leaving an altcoin and selling secretly premined coins was a common scam, when we still had coins and not tokens, and this sort of thing was happening all the time. Devs were pseudonymous and left the project when they had their share of money.
Now that it's happening in a whole different scale i am surprised that it isn't happening more as the amount of money should lure in lots of talented hustlers and scammers. Also i am uncertain if this even illegal as they never even pretended this to be anything else than a meme token.

When it comes to meme coins you need to get in early and get out quick when it stalls you don’t hold it becuase it’ll become worth one day. These aren’t tokens you should be going all in on because it’ll lose it hype one day and disappear.

"anonymous founding member"That bolded text alone is enough already to say that this will turn out to be a scam coin. Add also the fact that it's a meme coin, and we know the reputation that meme coins have in the crypto space. Meme coins has a high chance of getting abandoned, or it be a rug pull. Same happened with PEPE.
I mean just looking at their website alone, and seeing the team members as anonymous is enough for an intelligent investor to stay away from investing to this project. How can these investors trust a group of anonymous members? How can they throw such money, and hoping that in 1-2 years or even more, they will get profit.
Unfortunately, they don't know who they will be suing because they're "anonymous". Maybe one of the team members, and one investor are just neighbors? Maybe one team member and a few investors are just like a few blocks away. Nothing new when it comes to altcoins specially with meme coins. Well, investors will only learn if they experienced it. Hope they will learn from this if they lose money.
This is sad because they were a team but what can you do when the other people don't have the same mindsets, especially the same goals as you.

The news has been confirmed by the remaining team member so there's no doubt it did occur..
This news though unfortunate for PEPE holders as price came falling down is favorable for someone like me who feels like missed out of the PEPE jump. This is a good time to buy in Pepe if you have the money. I being invested heavily on other projects already, took out some of my spare coins and bought a good amount of PEPE for the first time, just today. Pepe would certainly recover from the current situation.
Whenever something like this happens, fear drives in, people panic and they begin to sell their tokens. If the team are not able to pull it back, it might just be the end of the green frog token. About investing in the PEPE token, do you think it's the right thing to do based on the uncertainty behind the token? We don't know if the press release is the true story, you're so confident about it bouncing back but what if it doesn't?

Haha I'm not too surprised by this because sooner or later it's bound to happen where a coin like this has problems and crashes for a set amount of time.
As for the remaining members with the pretext of focusing on improving the community, it could be that this is just a kind of excuse so that there is a new trust where he is also preparing to do the same thing.
It should be noted that things like this are too mainstream for a meme project which in the end the conditions remain the same when the token makers or those who have an interest have benefited then they will leave with the profits and create a new meme hype.

from the beginning they were planning to steal customers’ money, they spent a lot of money in advertising and advertising, it is time to make profits and start new scam altcoin investments, and even the only remaining developers are there to revive the project when the price of Bitcoin rises and to make easy profits.
What will happen is that PEPE will turn into a dead currency until the market boom date comes when the last pump will happen before the project ends.
Investing in projects that offer nothing but extensive publicity and promotion is support for these scammers.
I agree, this is not an example of the developers suddenly turning rogue and stealing money, this is an example of a bunch of scammers that from the very beginning had the intention of stealing all the money they could and were simply waiting for the best time to do this, and they realized it was unlikely PEPE will survive until the next bull run and get them more profits so they decided to pull the plug and get their profits now, and it would not surprise me if the remaining developer is already thinking on the best way to get their money too and finally abandon this useless meme coin. What will happen is that PEPE will turn into a dead currency until the market boom date comes when the last pump will happen before the project ends.

Is this really surprising to anyone? Did anyone really considered Pepe anything but a way of making money by the owners? I mean that team created Pepe just for this purpose, lets not call it stealing that money, they did not steal anything, it was open since the start that they wanted to make money by creating this project and they did exactly that.
If someone creates something to make money, then they make money and then they take that money and use that as their profit from creating it, would you call them a scammer? Maybe some people "believed" that the team would use that money for the project, but they were really just fooling themselves, it was obvious from the first moment that it would not be possible.

They are having unexpected problems, and this is also one of the stories that teaches us a lesson about uncensored memecoins that are only fueled by hype, and when researched again, discovered problem appears. Right from the moment it first appeared and was pumped continuously, I always felt it was too fast, and this was an extremely dangerous pump/dump manipulation for those who bought after. I have also heard about a lot of other issues, but not too important because memecoin is only a small part of the market, even if it does not exist, the developers will again launch products and apply formula to strengthen it.

Another story but this is nothing new in altcoins, you see team brings idea to the public only for them to change along the line because of disagreement but it doesn't make sense to dump a part of your share into the market, even if the teams doesn't align with your judgement, that shouldn't spark their pride to dump everything on the market to hurt the masses that are only after the norm of profits.
Anytime they say defi this and that, I don't believe those story because they have not sell doesn't mean they are commited to building the project and that is the problem of altcoins. When you invest in altcoins, these are part of the stories that happen along the line and it's the investors that used that do feel the heat from this project but, they know the reality of them, so I don't think they are bothered about these, I mean the diamond hands that invest beyond the drama team if the remaining teams are committed to the development.
and these type of news could neither be making such huge impact on the project value or not, it would really be entirely be depending whether the said amount is a big percentage in overall liquidity
or not but if its not then it wont really be that much of an issue but if it does the expect that there would be lots of criticisms and would really be a huge issue that would be raised up.
So far it didnt drop that much and soon it would really be having that recovery but it would really be entirely be depending on the market demand.
this is why you should never invest in some random shit projects, you just don't know at what extent they gonna scams you eventually.
there are so many projects out there that have better returns also more legit but some people are so eager to invest in meme coin so this is the after math.
i would expect the coin to go down from here, after all, that just simply means this coin being developed by some random scammers, but it still fascinates me the fact that
the current price of pepe is still holding up pretty well I guess most of pepe investors out there just doesn't care, so long they could speculate.
