A recent typical crypto scam case has occurred, and all crypto enthusiasts should be vigilant.

Here's what happened: a politician's X account was hacked, and the hacker used it to promote a token called $LIBRE. Although the content was quickly deleted, before it was taken down, the fake tweet had already attracted about 190,000 clicks and followers.

What’s more heartbreaking is that after the token was issued on the Solana chain, the project team didn’t wait long before running away. Within just a few hours, the liquidity pool was completely drained, and the scam gang pocketed $34,300 in one go. When victims discovered it, it was already a total loss.

This case reminds us again:
✓ Celebrity endorsements do not guarantee the project’s reliability; hacked accounts are common
✓ Although the Solana ecosystem is booming, there are also many junk coins and scam projects
✓ Rug pulls often happen in an instant; always do your homework before participating in new tokens

No matter how famous the account is that posts a recommendation, before buying, think about whether the logic makes sense. Is the project team’s background clear? Is the liquidity locked? Don’t let FOMO cloud your rational judgment.

It's the same old trick again. As soon as a celebrity account gets hacked, someone falls for it. I'm truly convinced.

It's the same old trick again. The LIBRE issue is really outrageous; it disappeared in just a few hours. Unbelievable.

It's the same old trick. As soon as a celebrity account gets hacked, they start to harvest users' funds. Truly unpredictable. The Solana ecosystem is ridiculous. Good projects and trash coins are mixed together, making it impossible to tell them apart. They ran away with 34,300 in just a few hours. How many people must be scammed to accumulate that amount... People who rush to buy just because a big influencer promotes it really need to wake up. FOMO can kill you. If liquidity isn't locked, how dare you buy? Aren't you just asking for trouble? That's how the crypto world is. New scams happen every day, and only after losing money do people learn their lesson.

It's the same story again—celebrity accounts take off as soon as they get hacked. Wake up, everyone.

It's the same old story again, when celebrity accounts get hacked, they immediately rug pull. People in the crypto circle really need to learn from this. --- There are so many trash coins on Solana that it's ridiculous. Before making a move, you really need to ask yourself what you're in it for. --- FOMO really can be deadly. In just a few hours, 3.43 million was swept away, and retail investors are always the ones who lose everything. --- Can't even spot obvious vulnerabilities like unlocked liquidity? It's time to reflect on your due diligence. --- Endorsements by politicians are useless; accounts getting hacked happen month after month. --- Dare to buy with 190,000 clicks? Your brain really is bold. --- No matter how hot the Solana ecosystem gets, it can't save these scammers. Trouble is bound to happen sooner or later. --- Rug pull happens so quickly that by the time you react, it's already gone. --- Celebrity endorsement = project is reliable? This logic needs to change; it's too naive. --- Doing research sounds simple, but how many can really stick to it?
