TL;DR
  • Mizkif mod Wantep accused of $30K crypto rugpull with 'Chompy' memecoin.
  • It went down during stream, coin sold off within 30 minutes.
  • Raises questions about Mizkif's involvement.

Wantep, a well-known moderator in Mizkif’s community, allegedly abused his power to promote a crypto scam in Mizkif’s fans. During a recent stream, a memecoin called Chompy was created, inspired by Mizkif’s community.

Wantep, who reportedly received half the coin supply to promote it to Mizkif, sold off his share within 30 minutes, pocketing $28,000 to $30,000 in what many are calling a classic rugpull.

This isn’t Wantep’s first rodeo with questionable crypto schemes. He’s been linked to similar incidents with other creators in the past, establishing a pattern that’s got people talking across the platform.

The speed at which the Chompy coin went from innocent joke to cash grab has left many in the community feeling bamboozled. Mizkif, known for his reaction content and meme-heavy streams, now risks potential brand damage by association.

Viewers and fellow streamers are divided on the issue. Some argue that anyone investing in a memecoin should know the risks, while others express concern for younger or less experienced members of the community who might fall prey to such schemes. It’s started a bigger conversation about the responsibility of influencers and their associates when it comes to financial activities involving their audiences.
