Saw this one coming from miles away. White Whale token was always on shaky ground—zero community foundation, just manufactured hype injected artificially.

Here's what went down: The creator poured serious work into this project, then watched it implode from $80 million down to basically nothing ($100). Why? Because someone hijacked the token and ran it into the ground. Classic exit play dressed up as innovation.

The creator promised transparency and commitment. Turns out promises don't mean much when the architecture is hollow from day one. No real ecosystem, no genuine adoption—just a house of cards built on retail FOMO.

This is exactly why due diligence matters in crypto. Look at the foundation, check the team incentives, verify who actually controls the narrative. White Whale's collapse wasn't a surprise—it was inevitable.

Another old trick of the manipulators running away, it's really no surprise about the White Whale incident.

I've been saying this thing is a trap all along, dropping from $80M to $100, and it's still too generous... Should really see what expressions those White Whale boosters have now.

Another old trick, these projects have been castles in the air from the very beginning. I've seen through it long ago; White Whale has no underlying logic at all, relying purely on hype to survive. Doing your homework is really a lifesaver, brother. Watch the architecture carefully before getting out.

The architecture was a re-entrancy vulnerability from the very beginning of the design... It reminded me of the common basic mistakes found in audit reports. The White Whale case is a living textbook—poor access control led to it being hijacked.

ngl white whale's collapse was literally written in the runes from day one... hollow architecture breeds hollow outcomes. the liquidity never had a soul to begin with.
