Between July and August last year, the main holders of the Bonk community had already completed a large-scale token liquidation plan. Their cash-out methods are quite "creative"—some acquired a bankrupt beverage company to facilitate an estimated $40 million in cashing out; in addition, they also cashed out through early investor tokens, ecosystem fund treasuries, and other channels. With this combination, they almost transferred all the risk onto retail investors who came later. It appears to be a standard profit-taking move by the project team, but the market has to bear the pressure.

Damn it, it's the same old trick again. Do they all play with mouse trading like this?

It's the same old trick again, big players cash out while retail investors take the fall. It's really pointless. This method is indeed clever—merging and bankrupting companies to launder money. Smart, but lacking in ethics. Bonk, this mess should have been exposed earlier, but unfortunately, it was discovered too late. It's always the same story—project teams make a fortune, and we lose everything, even our underwear. 40 million USD just "legally" siphoned out like that, I laughed. Why is it always so coincidental? When big players are clearing out, retail investors are still celebrating.

just like mile 20 of an ultra-marathon, watching bonk holders dump 40m through sketchy m&a plays... yeah that's when the real race starts for retail bagholders. ecosystem metrics don't lie tho—fundamentals separate sprinters from actual marathon runners fr

Ha, is it the same old story? I've seen through these people's tricks a long time ago. Forty million USD cashout still has to be so secretive, they really treat retail investors like fools. Don't ask, just know that we've been cut one wave after another. This is the true picture of Web3, everyone.

Uh... So the group of bonk people are really good at this, quietly pulling out 40 million USD like that. I should have known not to get involved in this stuff, the tricks are all the same. It's a typical case of project teams taking the meat while retail investors drink the soup. This time, they've been cut again.

Damn, this move is really brilliant. Buying a broken beverage company and washing 40 million, retail investors are still there taking the hit, hilarious. --- It's the same old trick again. The project team has long run away, and we're still holding on. The Bonk incident is too typical. --- Wait, merging and acquiring a beverage company? Only you could think of that. Respect, this is what it means to understand monetization. --- Look at their combined tactics, then look at the zeros in our accounts. This really hits hard. --- Why is it always the people at the back who end up paying? How are we supposed to play this game? --- 40 million just gone like that. Retail investors are the confirmed bagholders.
