that was an accusation leveled by bitter crypto dipshits, and everyone just took them at their word? maybe the price just tanked because it's a fucking memecoin and crypto is inherently unstable

not saying this to defend her - I despise anyone who would launch a cryptocurrency for any reason and I curse her and her family to ill fortune for 1000 years - but it would actually be way cooler if she did scam these losers (which is why I don't think it happened)

anyway this is the least consequential thing ever and I'm sorry for posting about it but it kind of bothers me that most people just went along with the crypto-bro narrative

Everyone who buys crypto does so with the intent to get richer by ripping others off. So rugpulls are just part of the game in my eyes.

What most likely happened was that someone else talked her into doing it (and probably not even telling her everything) to take advantage of her 5 min of fame and let her deal with the fallout.

yeah I think this is it. she went viral and immediately became surrounded by the worst types of grifters (her podcast is on Jake Paul's network and Mark Cuban was a guest) so probably someone like that convinced her that crypto was a "legitimate" way to bank off her fame. but yeah it's a scam either way

the conspiratorial part of me thinks that a pump-and-dump was coordinated by a group totally unconnected to her, with the intention of tarnishing her name. anyone with enough capital could have done that

She was coopted by the right and came from a working class background - of course she would not turn into the finance wizard, connecting yourself with the right people is 90% of the game.
