An executive account at a certain exchange was hacked, triggering a flash crash of meme coins, with suspected insider trading and pre-arranged positions.
[BlockBeats] On December 10, something outrageous happened. The WeChat account of a co-CEO from a leading exchange was hacked, and the hacker directly posted about a Meme coin called Mubarakah.
Guess what happened next? Mubarakah instantly took off. The price soared from $0.001 all the way to $0.008, and the market cap shot past $8 million. But the good times didn’t last long; it soon crashed, and the market cap is now only $3.1 million, with the price dropping back to around $0.003.
What’s even crazier—screenshots shared by several insiders show that Mubarakah started pumping a few minutes before that WeChat post went out. In other words, some addresses were already positioned in advance. This insider trading move is just too blatant.
Honestly, Meme coins are all about hype and emotion anyway, with little real value. This kind of scheme, exploiting security loopholes and inside maneuvers to dump on others, is something everyone needs to watch out for. Don’t just FOMO because a celebrity “recommends” something—it could easily be a trap set by others.

ngl the timing on this is way too convenient... those wallets knew something before the tweet dropped, game theoretical implications here are just *chef's kiss* obvious

Haha, this move is insane. They’re bold enough to do insider trading so openly?

Those who planned ahead are definitely not account thieves; someone is manipulating this behind the scenes.

Same old tricks: account theft, pump, and dump—the script is all too familiar... I just want to ask, how did those who got in early know about it?
Front-running like this should have been cracked down on long ago. It’s always the same game, and retail investors are forever the ones left holding the bag.
To put it bluntly, some people got the info ahead of time, while us retail traders can’t see a thing. Meme coins? What a joke. It’s just a game of musical chairs from the start.

The front-running is so obvious and people still dare to play—does no one regulate this space?

The data shows that the price was pumped a few minutes ago, this unreasonable mechanism is always the same every time. That said, let's wait and see what happens next.
