Summary
DeFi100 (D100) was a Binance Smart Chain index token. On May 22, 2021, its website briefly displayed a message reading "WE SCAMMED YOU GUYS AND YOU CANT [sic] DO SHIT ABOUT IT," which prompted widespread reports of a rug pull. [1][2]
Disputed scale
A crypto analyst claimed the team absconded with $32 million, a figure that spread widely but whose basis was never shown. DeFi100 said its website had been hacked, that no funds were stolen, and that the $32M claim was "false and baseless," noting the project's market capitalization never exceeded $2 million. The true scale is contested; investors did suffer losses as the project failed to deliver. [1][2]
