A BNB Chain index token whose website briefly displayed 'WE SCAMMED YOU GUYS…' in May 2021, prompting rug-pull reports. A widely shared $32M figure is disputed — the team said the site was hacked and its market cap never exceeded $2M.
A BNB Chain Dogecoin-style memecoin/DEX. In July 2022, PeckShield said developer-controlled wallets executed a 'soft rug pull', selling ~$4.5M of TEDDY (converted to ~10,000 BNB + 2M BUSD, sent to Binance). TEDDY fell ~99%.
A 2021 BNB Chain 'charity' token heavily promoted by influencers, including FaZe Clan members. Its advertised anti-whale limit was changed from 24 hours to 60 seconds just before launch, enabling insiders to dump; widely described as a pump-and-dump.
A token themed on the Netflix series 'Squid Game' that rug-pulled in November 2021. A contract mechanism prevented most buyers from selling; developers cashed out an estimated $3.38M and the token's value fell to near zero.
A BNB Chain yield-farming project that rug-pulled about $10M in January 2022. The team minted millions of ARBX via an owner-only mint() function, dumped them, routed user deposits to unverified pools, and deleted its site and socials — months after a CertiK audit.
A BNB Chain AMM drained of about $50M on April 28, 2021 during a contract migration, after a single-character math error in its pair contracts let an attacker withdraw far more than deposited. The team suspected an internal leak; U.S. authorities later seized ~$31M.
A BNB Chain yield aggregator hit by a flash-loan price-manipulation 'economic exploit' on May 19, 2021. The attacker minted ~6.97M BUNNY and dumped it for about $45M in profit, crashing BUNNY from ~$146 to near $1; the team said no vaults were breached.
A BNB Chain yield-vault protocol that lost ~$31M (≈14M BUSD and ~73,600 BNB) one day after launch in March 2021. The deployer used the proxy upgradeTo() function to swap the vault logic for malicious contracts with a permissionless 'backdoor' and drained the vaults. Widely classified as a rug pull.
A BNB Chain stableswap protocol that rug-pulled ~$27M in June 2021 by deploying a linked library different from its verified source code, letting operators drain the protocol and approved user wallets. A white-hat traced the team to Manchester, UK; arrests followed and most funds were returned.
Fintoch ('Morgan DF Fintoch') operated on BNB Chain, claimed Morgan Stanley affiliation, and advertised 1% daily returns. ZachXBT reported the team withdrew about $31.6M in USDT in May 2023; a related arrest later occurred in Bangkok.
