WallStreetBets Moderator Dumps Memecoin

The token price plummeted from an all-time high of $0.00067279 to an all-time low of $0.00004827 within two days after the dump.
Background on WSB Coin
The creators of the WSB token claimed that there would be no allocation for the team and that 10% of the coins would be reserved for the subreddit. On May 2, WSB was launched by people involved in moderating the WallStreetBets Reddit forum which gained notoriety for its involvement in GameStop short squeeze, sending hedge funds to their knees in January 2021.

On May 4, on-chain detective ZachXBT tweeted that “zjz.eth,” who runs the moderation bots for the subreddit, has allegedly pulled the rug on WSB investors. On-chain data shows that zjz.eth has sold WSB coins in exchange for 334 Ether (ETH), worth around $635,000 at present time.
