The person in charge of the Base protocol was also cut off. Why did the ticker return to zero?

The madness of BOME has made meme currency pre-sales an acceptable method in the market, but this sales method that relies on the character of the project owner is still extremely risky.

Yesterday, a meme called "ticker" on Base started pre-sale. Each account can send up to 0.1ETH, using PartyDAO to raise funds, including the Base protocol. More than 13,000 people participated, including the person in charge, Jesse Pollak, and nearly 1,000 ETH were received.

But what is unexpected is that last night someone discovered that 254 ETH was transferred from the Ticker project address after the token was launched.

Later, on Warpcast , Ticker's official website account forwarded the selling record and wrote, "Just saw this, the airdrop deployer just made a huge mistake. All public information will be shared. I'm sorry that the wrong person was chosen to perform this task."

Base's core contributors and protocols The person in charge, Jesse Pollak, forwarded this post and commented "not based". Previously, Jesse had forwarded the project information comment "based".

What’s even more outrageous is, The official Ticker account later released a screenshot of the Telegram chat conversation of the Ticker developer. The purple color is the controller of the Ticker Warpcast account, and the other party is suspected to be another member of the team. The content of the conversation is that the left side asked the other party why he did this, and all his hard work was ruined by him. The other party replied "Don't panic, take a deep breath. I just drew a DILDO (penis) on the price chart."

After experiencing the above farce, the price of TICKER has dropped all the way to zero, which is equivalent to a soft rug.

Today, someone discovered Ticker The project party has already transferred that money to Solana using the bridge. Someone spied on ZachXBT on the Aite chain, and Zach even got the developer’s phone number. After several pulls, the official Ticker account stated that it would refund the ETH.

Interestingly, a meme coin called "DILDO" was also deployed on Base this morning. Although it has now returned to zero, it has generated a final coin for this farce. A good footnote, and this is also the spirit of meme coins, teasing dissolves everything.
