We found a scammer that deployed 9,500+ soft rug tokens on @BNBCHAIN since Nov 1 using a token factory contract to launch a new token every 2-4 minutes. They wash trade to pump the price… then pull liquidity. Only @Token_Sniffer detects serial rugpull rings like this.

🧵🎃 Halloween Horror: The Livecaster Rug and how $690,000 vanished into the night. It had a slick site. A trending chart. And a $4.9M market cap on @base. But behind the mask was one of the most dangerous token contracts we’ve ever seen. cc: @buildonbase @baseapp @coinbase
