How the $AIN team/whales coordinated a -89% rug using $98M in pre-staged tokens.
I warned you that ~$100 MILLION in on-chain transfers on $AIN wasn't bullish.
Hours before the crash, 603.8M $AIN ($98.1M) was distributed across private wallets in massive blocks
191.3M ($31.1M)
167.8M ($27.2M)
135.6M ($22.0M)
94.3M ($15.3M)
Plus tranches of 9M, 5M, and 3.1M
Treasury supply was systematically broken down into satellite wallets so single-wallet alerts wouldn't trigger panic.
The second price hit peak retail FOMO above $0.18, the trap snapped
Gate Cold Storage unlocked 20.45M ($1M) straight to the hot wallet.
Wallets 0x878 and 0x035 dumped 8.7M at the exact same minute.
Over 29M tokens hit Gate books at once, instantly draining every bid.
A catastrophic -89% death candle plummeted price from $0.18 to $0.019.
The valuation of 5M tokens collapsed from $884K down to $116K in real time.
Once the liquidation cascade cleared out retail longs, insiders moved back in Cobo Custody and wallet 0x89F9 swept 25.7M+ off the floor at pennies.
They manufactured the volume, shifted $98M off-market, dumped 29M tokens onto CEXs, wiped out retail, and bought back their supply at an 85% discount.
