Summary

AnubisDAO was a dog-themed DeFi project that launched a 24-hour token sale on October 28, 2021, raising approximately 13,597 ETH (~$60 million) through the sale of its native ANKH token on the Copper liquidity bootstrapping platform. Twenty hours into the fundraise, all pooled funds were drained to an external wallet by the address that had created and controlled the liquidity pool, leaving investors holding worthless ANKH tokens with no liquid market. No funds have been recovered; the project had no website, whitepaper, or publicly identified team at launch.
