Moved $602,000 worth of BNB from altcoin project
Blockchain security firm PeckShield is 46% in MetaSwap’s MGAS token. It warned investors of a possible “rug pull” after detecting a massive 99 price drop. The MetaSwap protocol allows NFT swaps on Ethereum, Binance, and Polygon blockchains. Following the unexpected price drop, all official accounts associated with Metaswap Gas, including Twitter, Instagram, and Medium, were removed, confirming PeckShield’s alleged scam.
According to PeckShield, 1,100 BNB tokens worth about $602,000 were transferred to an account in Tornado Cash, an Ethereum-based unattended solution used to break the on-chain connection between sender and receiver. This process makes it difficult to track the stolen funds.
