A concerning pattern has emerged where certain projects employ token bundling strategies to incentivize influencers. The scenario played out as follows: tokens are packaged and distributed to accounts with significant followings, with the implicit expectation of promotional endorsement. However, in this case, rather than promoting the token, the recipient account liquidated the entire supply and retained the transaction fees—essentially profiting from the arrangement while providing no actual market support. This dynamic exposes a fundamental flaw in projects relying on undisclosed incentive structures. The practice of farming bundled tokens and attempting to secure promotions through financial incentives raises serious questions about market manipulation and transparency. Such mechanisms undermine genuine community engagement and reflect poorly on projects that depend on them.

Haha, now it's embarrassing. Getting free tokens and still getting scammed, serves you right.

Haha, it's the same old trick again. The project team is really getting more and more outrageous.
