Hacked Mbappé Twitter Account Fuels $1M Scam, Results In Wild Gains And Losses For Traders

The Twitter account of French football star and Real Madrid icon Kylian Mbappé (@KMbappe) was recently compromised, leading to a $1 million scam that rocked the cryptocurrency community.

Hackers used Mbappé’s profile to promote a fraudulent coin dubbed $MBAPPE, causing its market value to skyrocket before plummeting to zero. Although the tweet has since been removed, the damage was already done.

The $MBAPPE coin, driven by the hype from Mbappé’s hacked account, saw its market value surge to tens of millions within minutes, only to crash just as quickly.

One unfortunate investor created a new wallet and spent 7,156 $SOL, worth approximately $1.03 million, on $MBAPPE in a single transaction. In less than an hour, the value of these tokens had dropped to just $9.2K, leading to a devastating loss of more than $1 million.

Trader Makes 866 Sol With Just 0.2 SOL Investment 

On the flip side, another user, who treats trading MEMEcoins like playing the lottery, struck gold. This savvy trader spent just 0.2 $SOL ($29) on $MBAPPE, and in a mere three minutes, sold it for 866.13 $SOL ($125.16K), netting an incredible 4,330x return on investment.

Over the past month, this trader has been active in the MEMEcoin market, making 251 trades with investments ranging from 0.1 $SOL to 0.3 $SOL per trade. With a win rate of 35.46%, this strategy has earned the trader a total profit of $126.7K.

The Mbappé Twitter hack highlights the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market, where fortunes can be made or lost in moments. As always, investors should exercise caution, particularly in the high-risk MEMEcoin space, where speculation can lead to both extraordinary gains and significant losses.
