Self-sabotage is the end game for most bad actors in this space. You see them flex with their stolen gains—new toys, clout, the whole show. But here's the thing they never seem to grasp: dirty money doesn't build anything that lasts. The reputation damage alone is permanent. Once the community catches on, it's game over. No amount of resources can buy back trust. Karma in crypto moves fast. When it comes, it hits different. The real loss isn't just the money—it's the permanent burn to their name.

Do these project teams really think they can whitewash themselves just by throwing out a few NFTs?

No matter how much dirty money there is, it's still a paper tiger, and the community can see through it at a glance. Trust is something that, once lost, is gone forever; no matter how much money you spend, you can't buy it back.

Haha, that's why I never hang out with those who openly flaunt their wealth; they'll crash and burn sooner or later.
