A well-known KOL promoted a certain token as the "future trend," then turned around and dumped $12,000 worth of the related tokens in their Telegram channel to followers, mocking fans: "Keep buying, everyone. I will keep stepping on you." This kind of tactic is common in the crypto community—first creating FOMO to pump the price, then selling off at the key moment for profit. Such cases happen frequently, and investors should be wary of the true intentions behind KOL recommendations. Before chasing the rally, ask yourself three questions: Is the recommender also holding real funds? Is the timing of the recommendation exactly at a high point? Are their public statements consistent with their actual actions? Doing your homework in advance is more valuable than reflecting afterward.

It's the same old trick again. These days, there's not a single KOL you can trust... real gold holdings? Laughable, they've already run away.

It's the same old trick, so blatant. A quick 12,000 bucks, and still have the nerve to mock fans. Truly unbelievable.

Too typical. Who still falls for this kind of basic trick? It's just the old game of pumping and dumping, just with a different coin. I've seen through these people a long time ago.

Here we go again? I'm already tired of this routine. The KOLs keep hyping it up until they turn into harvesters.
