	<p>The WSB Coin, a token linked to the WallStreetBets community, has experienced a tumultuous journey as recent events have unfolded.</p>
<p>While early adopters saw significant profits, recent allegations of a rug pull by a project founder have marred the token&#8217;s reputation.</p>
<h2 id="quick-profits-by-early-wsb-trader">Quick profits by early WSB trader</h2>
<p>Initially, a leading blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain shared an intriguing account of a crypto trader who swiftly traded WallStreetBets ($WSB) tokens and made significant profits.</p>
<p>According to Lookonchain&#8217;s Twitter account, the trader discovered $WSB just six minutes after it was listed.</p>
<p>Initially, the trader bought 1.9 billion $WSB tokens for 6 <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/ethereum/">Ether</a> and sold 500 million $WSB tokens for 38 Ether just 15 minutes later. The trader then reinvested by purchasing 608 million $WSB tokens for 24 Ether, only to sell 613.4 million tokens for 123 Ether.</p>
<p>In total, the trader has made an impressive 131 Ether ($240,000) from these quick transactions, in just 2 days.</p>

<p>Allegations surfaced that a project founder, ZJZ.eth, executed a rug pull by suddenly dumping a large portion of the WSB team supply for $635,000 (334 ETH). The event has generated significant concern within the crypto community.</p>
<p><a href="https://peckshield.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">PeckShield</a>, a blockchain security company, and other analysts have reported on the token being dumped for ETH. The price drop followed the WSB Coin&#8217;s previous surge in value, where it had increased by about 320% in just one day, attracting numerous investors.</p>
<p>Recent Twitter activity from ZachXBT, a user with almost 350k followers, and <a href="https://twitter.com/3orovik/status/1653957855483920385" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">WSBMod</a>, a former WallStreetBets subreddit moderator, further highlights the community&#8217;s concern over the alleged rug pull. WSBMod has threatened to file a police and FBI report if the founder, ZJZ.eth, does not get in touch with him.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>WSB Coin had promoted itself as the &#8220;official coin&#8221; of the WallStreetBets community, using its imagery and identity for marketing purposes. The project claimed to reserve 10% of the $WSB supply as a treasury for the r/wallstreetbets subreddit and 5% of the tokens for the current moderators of the subreddit.</p>
