<p>In a shocking revelation, renowned crypto trader Mac has exposed <a href="https://apeterminal.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Ape Terminal</a>, labeling it as a scam project with a deceitful team. <a href="https://twitter.com/MacnBTC" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Mac</a>, who had considered the team a friend, took to social media to share the disturbing findings.</p>

<p>According to Mac, Ape Terminal orchestrated a scam during various Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) hosted on their platform. Reportedly, out of 200,000 participating wallets, the Ape Terminal team exclusively won all 10 spots per IDO. Additionally, the team imposed a 25% fee on participants, further intensifying the alleged scam.</p> 
<p>Mac, who had initially introduced Ape Terminal to the SatoshiVM team, expressed disappointment, stating that trust in a fair sale was impossible. Despite returning the $SAVM tokens to the SatoshiVM team, Ape Terminal allegedly made substantial profits by selling the winning wallets.</p> 
<p>In response to Mac’s expose, Ape Terminal threatened legal action for defamation. Undeterred, Mac stands by his claims, asserting that all the information is verifiable on the blockchain, and he plans to publish the findings.</p>

<p>Supporting Mac’s accusations, crypto advisor <a href="https://twitter.com/bx1core/status/1750331331790196784" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">bx1</a> conducted an analysis of Ape Terminal’s IDO winner wallets. The findings revealed that only 5 out of 10 winning wallets were funded $1000 within an exceptionally short time frame from MEXC, exhibiting similar selling patterns.</p> 
<p>The probability of these specific wallets winning, given the vast pool of participants, was infinitesimally low, further fueling allegations of rigging and scamming by Ape Terminal. The crypto community is now closely watching as the controversy unfolds, with many calling for transparency and accountability in the decentralized finance space.</p> 
<p>The community also laments over the constant scam stories that arise in the crypto space. Scammers even <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/michael-saylor-warns-bitcoin-holders-of-deep-fake-scams/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">target big projects</a> to <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/beware-trust-wallet-users-targeted-by-scammers-using-kyc-requests/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">trick the new and poorly informed masses</a> looking to the space to make their fortunes. It is always important to stay vigilant and do your own research (DYOR).</p>
