In a "significant rug pull done by Tin Finance [they made] away with about $140,000 worth of liquidity. This project has also gone ghost since the incident, but there Twitter [was] still live [for a brief period before going offline]."

 

"This rug-pull was structured in a bit of a differ[e]nt fashion, being that of a pre-sale scam." "This project used the Tin Finance contract deployer to siphon liquidity which was then converted to WBNB and bridged off of the BSC. Ultimately the team created a false ethos and promises of a pre-sale, to run off with users money."

 

"There are reports that the Tin Finance team has deleted the website and possibly rug-pulled. Please exercise caution when interacting with this address." "The BSC team is negotiating refunds to users."

Tin Finance promoted a large token pre-sale for their smart contract through an airdrop promotion.

 

Once the time was right, the team used a deployer to siphon the liquidity out of the smart contract, making off with $140k worth of funds.

 

It is not known if any funds were recovered.

HOW COULD THIS HAVE BEEN PREVENTED?

Tin Finance was run by an anonymous team, possibly a single person of unknown background. The funds were not stored offline, nor in a multi-signature arrangement.
