⚡️👀 NEW - Terminally ill developer rug pulls community: 'I have 120 hours to live..'
The story begins in early October 2025 on social media, where someone shares their heartbreaking story, which moves the entire community.
A developer claiming to be disabled and terminally ill says he has only 120 hours left to live, or just five days.
He wants to launch a token in tribute to his life, a memecoin called "120 Hours," with the profits going to support his family after his death.
Within hours, the project goes viral on forums, Pumpfun, and X.
Users share his story and buy the token out of empathy, with some even calling it a "final community tribute."
In less than three days, the token reached a market cap of over $534,000.
But five days later... everything collapsed, and the project's liquidity was completely drained...
Several hundred thousand dollars were transferred to several anonymous addresses.
And the creator, the one who claimed to be living his "last hours," disappeared forever.
No more messages, no more traces. The account that posted his videos, where he was seen hooked up to a respirator, was deleted.
The supposed "dying man" was in fact a con artist who exploited empathy to create a sense of urgency and push people to buy his token.
By appearing on screen wearing a respirator, he triggered what psychologists call an emotional rescue bias: "When we believe we are helping someone in distress, we lower all our rational defenses."
In 2025, so-called "emotional rug pulls" are exploding: projects invent stories of illness, loss, war, or family drama to attract followers.
This case also reveals the darkest side of the crypto market: memecoins, scams, and cynicism taken to its extreme.
